| What holster do you guys prefer for a small-of-back carry and for a frontal IWB? I would like a stiff holster that keeps the form of my Beretta 9000s to its easy to re-holster. Any suggestions? |

5th for the VersamaxII or the Watch six. Sparks make great iwb holsters. As for sob carry I would advice against it. Whats going to happen to you spine if you end up landing on that gun for some reason. I would imagine if one fell hard enough on a pistol carried in the sob type holster you might just break your back.  Elvis |

I've been checking out a lot of holsters. I was curious for you guys that are using the Milt Sparks Versa Max 2. You are always carrying strong side? I was thinking a front side clip on holster may be ideal for me so the many times I get in and out of my vehicle during the day, I could slip the holster off and on and reduce the exposure of my weapon. I takes a minute to snap and unsnap the holster on the versa max 2, OR doesn't it? It seems to be pretty secure with the wide spaced snaps. I didn't plan on wearing it strong-side so the full cant may not be quick for frontal wear. Are any of you wearing this front side? I assume you guys like this holster because it's comfortable for long periods too? I decided the SOB holster is probably NOT a smart choice, THANKS GUYS!!! Any suggestions for some kind of car holster. Something to keep my gun accessible for when I'm driving a lot. Take a look at this sear-holster I found. http://www.desantisholster.com/n92.html If any of you use something else similiar to this, can I see a picture or link. I found a seat cover somewhere that creates a small pocket ideal for a mid size pistol. When the pistol is enclosed, you can't even see it through the window. I can't remember where I saw it though. |

I can tell you one thing. If you need a holster soon the for mentiond holsters are out. If you want a great holster you can use in just a few days then get a Comp-tac. A great holster a great value in days not months. I know that the VM II, and the others are quality products but come on, 4 months. |
ETA: I also use a comp-tac belt holster for competition. |

I'm not a fan of SOB carry,it's comfortable until you sit down.I've also tried the VM2, but I'm the only person in the world that doesn't like ithock.gif.So I guess I'm just an OWB guy.That being said i just orderd a holster from Gary Bromeland (OWB) 6 weeks out hope this one does it for me. |
+1 million Try HERE for a VM-II without the long wait. |
+1 for Lightningarms.com Craig and Audrey are great folks to deal with. They are a stocking dealer, no waiting. Elvis |

http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/573/sob3zu.jpg Here's a Don Hume S.O.B. holster that I picked up for $40.00 I was supprised how stiff the leather was, and it has a great grip on the gun. I don't worry about it falling out. When I first started using it it felt like someone could detect it under my shirt. everytime I would wear it when I was out with the wife I would ask her "Can you see my gun" She said she couldn't detect it under my shirt. Maybe it was that I just felt wierd because I wasn't used to it. but Awesome value for the money. |
