+1 on new pics.

I literally have to drive at least an hour to shoot.

Link; Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC. I have the c-clips and notice that my belt has worked itself out of the clips. Going to try the standard clip in the near future. They also just released their Minotaur mag pouch; Click Me. Need to order one of them also. LOL Don't forget to sign up for their news letter. They send out discount codes all the time.

That's good to know, thanks for the info. I think I might go with this one over the Crossbreed for a number of reasons. I'll probably order a gun belt from them too.

Worth thinking about a Kholster as well. You can hack it up with a knife to get it to look/feel right for you.

Yeah I will have to take a look at those as well. I'm looking at the MTAC holster and concealment mag pouch that Robert was talking about right now. I think I might order those + a belt and see how that works for me.

No problem! Let me what you think.

BTW: You'll be way happier than that kholster. No disrespect Red_Zed, but that thing looks like a POS.

Ever used one?

I haven't cause I bought the MTAC and was overly impressed. No reason to replace something that works and is good.

It's just a piece of circle cut leather and than some holes punched through it. Doesn't look like true craftsmanship was place into. I'm not saying it doesn't work but just seems... cheap. Don't think anyone will be disappointed with the Comp-Tac.

Well, the Kholster isn't the best looking but it does look like it gives you the most customization options of all the others as far as the leather backing goes. Like Dan said you could cut it however you want to fit you best.

As guns are largely a personal preference, I'm sure the holsters are as well.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I really need to carry a spare mag or not.

Very true. Too each thier own. Can never go wrong with an extra mag. And if you don't feel like carrying don't wear it that day. Its like me and having the 23 & 36. Depends on what I'm wearing and where I'm going on what I'll carry.

Yeah, that's my thinking. I just ordered the MTAC holster, reinforced kydex leather gun belt, and an IWB mag pouch. They have a 30-day return policy so we'll see how this works out for me.

Let me know what you think of the mag pouch.

Will do.

:O Just found an old holster that I used to carry for duty. I can't even find it online to get a review or price comparison. It's a Gould and Goodrich nylon holster, possibly for the G17. I think it's the low rise holster. I quickly had it replaced with a high rise, which is much better.

I mean, I had a crossbreed and an mtac. You're paying a lot to have someone else cut the leather. IMO, the mtac takes away leather in the wrong spots, like behind the grip, and gives a lot less adjatability.

To each his own, but I'll spend the 5 minutes getting a perfect fit with a kholster, along with the adjustabilty... And save $45 or so.
