if he was lucky and knew where to get one.
I found polizei1 his VMII pretty quickly.

I don't think he'd be able to find a good leather holster by Christmas because of the lead times.

Sparks VM2, but you will pay +$100 to get one now. 7 month wait from Sparks.

Sparks VM2, but you will pay +$100 (over the cost of the holster) to get one now. 7 month wait from Sparks.

Or an Occidental Phoenix Stronghold. No wait. Very similar build. http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac6/HokiePS7/536ba3f9.jpg

That's why I said PLUS$100. :rofl:

[Quack]

clarity for the OP

[rsxr22]

Jeez oh man!! I cant believe the prices on some of this stuff!! Thank god i use kydex lol! I know there is a difference in quality, but even as far as IWB goes, i havent found anything more comfortable than the CBST, now i use the shielded holsters though from a forum member which are essentially the same thing. Don, you'll have to let me tote the KC around for a day and prove me wrong :)

I had a 5" VMII and found that it was too long for me to comfortably carry since i drive a lot. sold it for twice as much as i paid for it. So i pretty much got my 4.25" VMII for free (which i got at the same time) :supergrin:

[dc2integra]

its gonna be for outside the waistband

[Quack]

its gonna be for outside the waistband

budget?

[dc2integra]

preferably under 100 $

[Quack]

Mitch Rosen Premier is about $90
Occidental Stronghold holster $90

most other holsters are $125+

[GJ1981]

I'd recommend looking at http://www.5shotleather.com/owb.htm

High quality at reasonable prices. Not sure what his backlog is though. I have a CBS model that is going up for sale.

[Hokie1911]

Kydex or leather?

[woodrowNC]

yaqui slide. minimal, but you tighten those tension screws enough and it ain't coming out.

more of a nylon holster ive been looking around i found blackhawk makes one any good?

[Quack]

what's the use going to be?

[dc2integra]

just the occasional trip to the range

[Quack]

{crickets}

i guess that Blackhawk would be ok.

[rsxr22]

If you want good quality and want kydex, then definitely go for a Raven. There is also a wait on these as well! The most useful holster i have ever used has been the Comp-tac locking paddle. When i used to use it in IDPA, people would ask what kind of inner/outer i used, i just smiled and said i didnt just a 5.11 operator belt and the holster

Don Hume H721OT. Gunners Alley has them cheapest & usually in stock.

I have three of these and they are very nice for an off the shelf holster.
