Good stuff! I tried a whole bunch of IWB holsters over the years, but settled on the Milt sparks VMII for my Glock & SSII for the 1911's a long time ago. I carry OWB most of the time, but have found the Sparks holsters the only IWB holsters I can tolerate.

Leather tends to be more comfortable for IWB carry. IWB for work and OWB for weekend carry for me. My OWB holsters are leather as well. Ryan Grizzle and Milt Sparks make the top tier leather holsters IMO.

Although I prefer leather, kydex ain't bad in a Tulster set up. It's comfortable to carry.

I bought a Workin Man holster for a Sig 226 from Ryan soon after he started selling them. I sold the holster along with the gun years ago.

I wish I would've kept the holster, because now I have three 226's. :)

I'm selling the Working Man holster, but keeping the Town n Country IWB one. I ordered 2 with intentions of keeping the one I liked best. It was worth my 6 month wait!

Back when I got mine, I think I ordered on the phone & it only took a couple weeks to get it. I guess I'm getting old, but I don't like waiting for stuff anymore. It wasn't too long ago that I wouldn't think twice about filling out an order form from a catalog, and sending a check out for whatever I wanted. Then waiting 4-6 weeks for delivery. Now, on-line ordering from places like the big river site, and next day delivery has me spoiled. first world problems.:)

And since this is a gun thread, here's a pic of one of my favorites:

Thanks. I had been thinking about getting a MK25, when this one showed up on the local gun forum. It was unfired, but technically "used", and at a price I couldn't pass up. The guy had bought another model Sig and he had sent it back for warranty work so many times that he finally told them he wanted his money back. They offered him any gun they make in exchange, so he picked the MK25. By then, he had the shits of Sig & when the gun came, he just put it up for sale. I still have the box from the Sig Store, with the $0.00 price tag.
 
Lets go retro for a bit:

How retro? This Colt was built in1877. Here's the story as related by the current owner when he came to pick up the new holster I'd built him and brought the Colt to check for fit. The owner is an older guy, a Vietnam vet. He said that his great, great grandfather owned a ranch outside of Columbus NM. A guy came riding in on a sore footed and done in horse. He ended up trading this Colt for a fresh mount. As a young boy the current owner would spend summers there at his now great grandmother's ranch. It became a tradition that every Friday he would clean the Colt for her. When it was coming time, she was speaking to his grandmother on who she should leave the Colt too. They both decided that the current owner was the one to leave it to. However the grandmother told the great grandmother that if I don't take it to California with me now, he'll never see it. Apparently lots of uncles and other relatives that were interested in it. The great grand mother agreed and the grandmother brought it to California. She presented it to the current owner on his 13th birthday. He's had it ever since.

Niiiiice.... I assume it is a .45 Colt? Difficult to tell from the angles, and not sure I could tell anyway. But I'm guessing that is it. In 1877, I don't know if they had even started with the 38WCF. And I thought they only did the 44WCF in the Frontier Six-Shooter to start with. But I also thought those came later (without looking it up).

Hey! Watch that "older guy, Vietnam vet" stuff!:)

Whenever I see a guy wearing a Viet Nam vet hat or t-shirt, I look at my wife & say, "I don't look THAT old do I?" She says, "Uhh, yeah."
