[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 21900, member: 18"] I'm not sure exactly what it is about the Summer Special 2 but when someone gets one, they never go back to anything else. I have the more expensive Executive Companion, which is the forerunner of the VM, and I much prefer the SS2 in terms of comfort but most importantly accessibility. I think the SS2 is as accessible as a kydex IWB but far more comfortable. The best draw of any IWB, IMO. In terms of concealment, I think its six one way, half dozen another. I've worn the SS2 for over 20 hours at a time and never had a problem with comfort or concealibility with a cool max shirt under and a t-shirt over it. Another big advantage of the SS2 is that they're inexpensive enough to buy two and have one to train in. They're also at your doorstep in 4-5 days since Brownell's and a few other dealers stock them for 9/40/357 Glocks and 1911's. The disadvantage to the SS2 is it is not stitched as well as the EX or VM. thus it collapses easier under pressure. For carry, its no problem but when you get to rolling around on the ground, its less durable than the others. Others say the VM is more stable and I would guess it is, but stability has never been a problem for me with the SS2. I think any additional stability is probably wasted. In terms of retention, I'd say they're about the same because IWB only allows one point of contact in a fight over the holstered handgun. J.P. I've got a couple SS2's so if you want to try one for a couple days, just give me a call or a pm. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
