I've been a fan of Comp-Tac's holsters for years and I've got one for every handgun I own. It's been a while since the last time ordered one, but when was the design changed? My new MTAC is really difficult to draw from even after adjustment. It feels like the upper part of the kydex is being compressed by my belt and putting too much pressure on the gun to draw smoothly. I don't have this issue with any of my older MTAC's since the kydex is cut shorter. The goofy lettering is just icing on the cake. What gives?

| The new plate design is at least three years old. Doesn't bother me any, my jeans cover it and the tab in the trigger guard is better made. Over all I think the new plate is higher quality than the old . also no draw problems with either my 1911, Glock 19, or Glock 26. |
| I used to love the old style MTACs with the natural colored leather. More recently I've gotten one of the newer ones like you've shown with the black leather. I ended up returning it because it was practically impossible from which to draw, even with the retention screws backed out to the point that there was hardly any threads holding them on. Maybe I just got one that was tight on tolerances but it was unusable to me. I've since gone to all kydex for IWBs; always sure to draw and reholster regardless of belt tightness. |

I have both like you. One thing that really helped with my holster I took leather treatment that I use on my car seats and treat the leather. My leather was stiff and needed breaking in bad it was impossible to draw from until I worked with it for awhile. I also have to sand down the retention nub on the trigger guard and smooth it out.
Now the holster is like all the rest of mine good to go. Lettering does not bother me one way or another.

Quoted:
I am thinking heat to allow you to deform the plastic is better. Once the plastic is removed it difficult to put back. You can always deform it back to near original if you don't like the results. Mike It is really not that much plastic being removed it is more just getting the exact feel and retention I want. I could have gone the heat gun route but the way the nub is formed I was worried I would make it worse than better reshaping it. |
