Get a Milt Sparks Cordovan holster. It's horsehide and a little more impervious to sweat. They're great.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm kind of leaning towards a milt sparks sumer special. I wear t-shit/jeans 90% of the time.

Some would contend that some kydex is as comfortable as leather. I personally find that leather is more comfortable. As for sweat-resistance, horse leather will be superior to cow leather. Kydex will definitely be resistant.

Toted a Colt Lightweight Commander in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II today in Dallas. I was outside for a good ten hours.
The rig and I hung in there pretty well. I kinda felt like this  , but not because of the equipment. Good quality leather will serve just fine. The Milt Sparks Heritage model has a built in moisture barrier. Their stuff takes awhile. The Summer Special II is carried by Brownells. Comfort-wise, I prefer leather. |

I looked at Miltspark's website. I was about to order a Versa Max 2. I am glad I looked at the delivery info. Their delivery estimation is 6 MONTHS. May be a great product but I am not going to wait 6 months.

Kahr P9 in a FIST K1 ultra thin tucked in the front works very well.

I live on coast also and have used either an Alessi Talon or Desantis Cozy Partner with good results.

I use Mark Garrity's "Incognito Deluxe". It has a suede backing on the rear which touches the skin making all day CCW extremely comfortable. Also, the suede helps to soak up sweat but drys quickly overnight

I'm in Florida and I use a VMII Horsehide. Great Holster. There is a reason that it takes 6 months to get one.

I carry my Kimber in a Sparks VM2 and also use a Comp-Tac MTAC. There's a difference in quality but not much difference in comfort. I like them both about the same.

I have the Milt Sparks Heritage & use it for hot humid weather, very similiar to the summer special, but it has a built in sweat shield. I also have a cardovan VM2 for when it is not hot & humid. Yea it's a long wait, but well worth it.
They can be found every now & then FS in the various forums, you can also check with Top Gun Supply & Lightning Arms as they are stocking dealers. |

I spend a great deal of time working outdoors in 95+ degree weather. I finally got tired of having sweat soaked MSII leather against my firearm. I was constantly chasing rust. The damn thing wouldn’t even dry up by the next morning. I have since moved to a CTAC and haven’t looked back. It’s also hard to compare anything to the speed of Kydex. Dead cow is much slower. Another perk is the ability to tune retention.
