Alternative to Milt Sparks

I am looking for another leather alternative to my Milt Sparks Versa Max 2.

I've worn my VM2 for close to 20 years now from early Fall to late Spring, then I switch to a JM Custom Kydex version of the VM2, sadly no longer made.

Issue: The kydex holster is close to 10° the VM2 is about 15°. This Fall when I switched holsters back to the VM2 the butt of my 1911 is sticking into my side in a very uncomfortable way when I'm driving, and I drive a lot. This seems to be related to the angle, because the Kydex holster doesn't do this. I've lost over 20 lbs since June and I wonder if that may have something to do with it.

Once upon a time Milt Sparks was a custom holster maker and would make your holster to the angle you requested. No longer. I called today to order a new VM2 and was told they are too busy to make anything other than the patterns they currently make.

I want a high quality leather VM2 clone that's 10° instead of 15°.

Any suggestions?

Suggestions for a pocket holster?

I'm looking to get a pocket holster for my S&W airweight revolver but I have never had a pocket holster. Can anyone suggest a brand or style that would go well with it? Also what are some things to look for when looking for a pocket holster? Thanks!

Looking for 1911A1 duty holster

I'm looking for a level 2(or higher) retention holster for a Tisas M1911A1. Need it for a armed security job that requires a full size handgun so my edc (SIG P365) won't work. I have a few friends that already work the job and they say it's all really low risk so I think I'm ok using it until I can save the first few paychecks to get a more appropriate handgun. Currently looking at a safariland 6360 but am not certain if it'll fit my 1911. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't really know a whole lot about holsters

Crossbreed holster?

Anyone else have a crossbreed holster that doesn’t secure the pistol properly? My p365 sig just slides in and out of the kydex part with no retention whatsoever. Mine has the horse hide backing.

Looking for CC holster for a Canik TP9 Elite Combat

I have a Canik TP9 elite combat with a stream light TLR-7 and a trijicon RMR HD. I'm hoping somebody on here has a suggestion for me to find a proper appendix conceal carry holster with an extra magazine slot. I've been searching the web for the right holster for a while now and can only find weapon holsters, nothing with a magazine slot. If you've got any suggestions or links to help me I'd much appreciate it

QLS Fork & Holster Compatability

Good evening everyone, hope all is well. So for the past year I have had a “side mission” which I think I can complete faster with yalls help. So my goal is to find out which holsters are compatible with the QLS fork from Safariland. I run a drop-leg rig with my duty belt and use the QLS system to switch setups. I love the ease of change between pistols, however, finding holsters that have the QLS pattern has been a challenge. I also tend to buy non-popular guns so it is hard to stick to one brand. I am aware that I can drill holes and make the pattern myself but I want to avoid extra steps. So, does anyone know which OWB holsters have the QLS pattern? Obviously Safariland
Can also confirm Comp-Tac Int. has the pattern. I ran into another brand, cant remember the name but it was like $160 so it drew me away lol.

OWB advice

I’m a bonehead, and I ordered an Upper Hand holster as well as a Galco Concealable Belt holster. I probably only need one of those.

Anyone have any suggestions either way?

Blackhawk serpa

Why do people get crap about buying and using Blackhawk serpas? What’s the hate about? Is it the situational aspect of them? The finger lock? Look? In all honesty I want to use one as a holster for a hunting trip, NOT CARRYING.
