[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1164264, member: 7488"] Unless things have changed, I have read that Mr. Brown carries a [URL="http://www.miltsparks.com/SS-2.htm"]Milt Sparks Summer Special 2[/URL]. From what I understand, it is similar to the coveted [URL="http://www.miltsparks.com/VM-2.htm"]Versa Max 2[/URL], but is somewhat "lower" quality (in finish), which still means it is leagues above most holsters of other manufacture. I cannot confirm any claims of quality, as I have never held or used either of the holsters in question personally. Also it is commonly available from online retailers (i.e. [URL="http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=9922/Product/SEMI_AUTO_SUMMER_SPECIAL_2"]Brownells[/URL]) and does not require the excessive wait that a made-to-order Versa Max 2 necessitates. At a glance, it appears that the Summer Special 2 has the belt loops closer together, more similar to the holster I use. I carry a Don Hume PCCH for my XD-40. It had similar printing issues with the grip untill I did two things: 1) Pulled up my damn pants! :P and 2) Got a good stiff belt. I don't have a Looper or a Beltman, but a [URL="http://www.blackhawk.com/product/CQC-Pistol-Belts,794,61.htm"]Blackhawk! CQC Pistol Belt[/URL].

I am a 34" waist, and a 38" belt on me is by no means too big for IWB. Now that I have the proper belt and waist height, I can carry wearing shorts and cover with a polo shirt and undershirt (both garments untucked and over the firearm).
