I have tried differant brands of IWB holsters in the past. The last one I tried was a Milt Sparks VM-II. It will be the last one. It is by far, in my opinion, the most comfortable and secure on the market. The waiting period for delivery and price are well worth it. I carry a gov't model 1911-A1 and it is comfortable even when driving.

I'm still not giving up my cheapo Uncle Mikes IWB. Comfy as all get out ... and for like $10.

I read about a recall for one of those plastic holsters in the local paper. I think it was a Fobos though. I'll see if I can dig it up...

I found the following info at the CPSC site (http://cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml05/05175.html): CPSC, Michaels of Oregon Announce Recall of Handgun Holsters

Just got my Blade-Tech UCH for the G19 from Top Gun Supply (EXCELLENT SERVICE!) and I love it so far. Keeps the mouth open and is so slim it feels like mexican carry. I have a new respect for kydex now.
I'll give a better review of the holster on here after wearing it for a few days. As far as Top Gun Supply ... good price, great service, fast shipping, pleasure to deal with. What more could you ask for? TA has his ducks in a row. That's a good gig he has going and he has my business long term.
