It seems like all the great ones you order on line (milt sparks, Kd holsters, highnoon holsters, etc) In Tulsa - you always can find the Galco's but thats about it. Good luck

J.P. just sold his ctac for the 19! You just missed it. Its a really nice holster, I've worn it a few times.
The comp-tac guys used to come to the okc gun shows, but I haven't seen them for about 2 years now. I wish they would come back. I did see them at the Tulsa Wanamacher show.
I would just order direct from comp-tac, they are in Houston, and you'll get your holster in 2 or 3 days.

If you want the best IWB holster for your G19,you are just going to have to step up,bite the bullet,and order a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2...

I agree with J.P., the VM2 is the best all around holster in my opinion. You're gonna spend over $100, but its worth it. The Ctac is one of the top 3 in kydex holsters. I really like it too.
Let us know what you end up doing!

They are very comfortable too.
The best i've tried.
They conceal so well that they make the CTAC look like an OWB paddle by comparison.

JohnBM,
If you are short on time and funds, the Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 is a great option. It is about half the price of a VM2.
Personally, I find it more comfortable than the Versa-Max or the Executive's Companion and much smoother to draw.
The important thing to me about the price is that if you are serious about self-defense training, you really need a traiing holster and a carry holster. This is because if you are truly preparing for self-defense you will have to engage in protracted physical struggles over your gun both in and out of the holster. If you do this, you will ruin your holster so if its only for training, its not a problem.
If you're not planning to train that way and hoping for good fortune to carry the day, its no big deal what you choose.

If you are short on cash...don't over look Don Hume Leathergoods. There are an Oklahoma company and you can order on-line or pick up their gear at H&H.
One of their rigs could hold you over untill you have extra dough to put down on a custom.

I've had great luck with Comp-tac products and service.
The longest turnaround I've ever heard of was 2 weeks.
Usually they ship within a couple of days.
Make no mistake about it,the CTAC is a great holster.
Michael,
Does the SS2 lay the butt of the gun as flat as the VM2?
This is one of the appealing things about the VM2,to me.
I could conceal it under the sheerest of t-shirts because it held the butt in very flat and tight against the body,something the CTAC doesn't do quite as well.

I think it does, but my guess is that it varies by body-type.
Myself and three others that I train with all bought SS2's recently and train with just a t-shirt covering it and it conceals great.
We're all different body-types but I'm convinced there's a lot of room for leeway in all holster selection.
I think the important thing is that guys not get into wearing a kydex OWB and think its remotely secure just because it doesn't fall out. :mad:
I think the VM2 is an awesome holster. I just hate the price tag and turnaround. Particularly if you are going to buy one for training.

It's a Blade-Tech Ultimate Concealment Holster. (http://www.blade-tech.com/product.php?productid=821&cat=260&page=1) The thing I find most appealing is that you can still tuck your shirt in while wearing it. Here's what Blade-Tech says about it:
"(IDPA APPROVED) This holster has the same features as our popular IWB model. It is fully adjustable for FBI Cant or Straight Drop, allowing for the shirt to be tucked into the pants, completely concealing the firearm and holster. "
Do you know of any other IWB's that allow the shirt to be tucked in? Unfortunately, it's a requirement at work.

Yea, I ordered my Alessi PCH back in february and it took over 16 weeks to get it. I'll have to check my calendar, but I'm thinking it was only a few days away from 17 weeks. The wait was horrible! If I had it to do over again, I would order from lasports and pay the extra money and have it within the week.

I don't think I'm alone in this but you will probably find that the "Tucking" feature of any holster is overated,barely adequate and only used in limited circumstances.
This is what I have found.

Well, better late than left out.... I think..
Threat Solutions UCR (http://www.threatsolutions.com/holsterindex.html)- Very comfortable for my 1911's. Holds the butt of the pistol in close to the flank. Works well (For me) without a belt. Possible downsides- Non tuckable and as of late, apparently hard to get a response from the maker.
For my recently accquired G30, I picked up a like new Comp Tac CTAC from GT's FS board. Nice, fits well and tuckable (Still, like tucking my shirt over a small brick). A little tricky to put on and tuck at first (Sitting down helps).
Galco nylon waist pack. Good/ comfortable for road trips in sweats.
Lots of good holsters out there. If you don't like whatever you have, get rid of it. It doesn't matter if someone else loves it. Job, physique, activity, pistol size/ weight, they all affect our opinions about CC holsters.
Remember- "Comforting, not comfortable" doesn't require DIScomfort.
I've collected a pile of impractical or uncomfortable holsters over the years. They're harder to sell off the longer they sit in your closet.
To the OP- How do you like your CTAC?
