Best IWB you will find. It is expensive and it takes a long time to get, but very much worth it.

Best? Alessi, followed by Bulman, are the best or very close. Pre prepared to wait though.

Based on what I have read here and on other forums, I need to buy stock in Milt Sparks.  If it was available.  With that being said, I am going to order one as well.

Milt sparks HR-LMT,
It’s just as thin/thick as the VM-II but has a sweat guard in between the two layers.
Note: The VM-II is two layered if you count the hold open spring layer. The HR-LMT just inserts the spring hold open in between the existing two layers that contains the sweat guard. If you want to see the photo of it, go to the Spark page, and click on the new button bottom left of the page.

Now to drop the bomb,
Milt Sparks is 20 week back ordered on holsters (all of them).  Unless you have the time to wait, or can find someone that has the model you want in stock, you will need to find a temp holster till the one you order shows up sometime next year.

With Sparks, it's not what holster do I want now, it's what will be the holster I replace the current one with, once it wears out.  As for how I know this, I just placed an order with them last week for another one of their holsters and get to play the waiting game too.

I have the Threat Solutions UCR for my Glock and 1911.
It works very good for both but better for the Glock.

I have had great luck dealing with the guy, first rate all the way BUT I know he was SERIOUSLY backordered and having some issues as a result.  Has he caught up?

He always takes care of guys who need them for work asap

the crossbreedholster.com site can show you some inexpensive IWB holsters. I have one and like it! I wear it when carrying my 9mm Baby Desert Eagle, quite a thick pistol. I too am pretty stocky.

Fellas I appreciate all of the replies. You all got wanting a milt sparks but this weekend we had our gunshow here in richmond and there is a guy who makes gun leather who just happened to have the model I wanted in left handed and the perfect fit for my gun. It is so comftorble and very concealable. You cant beat it for $53 Its very nice leather. I think this may be the one for me. I still may order the milty though
