Compare it to this:
Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster

You'll have spent 1/2 the money and received 1/2 the holster IMO. Yours shows no cant adjustment and no retention adjustment. If the leather stretches, you can't adjust for that.

I've bought a couple interim cheapie nylon holsters ($35 total) for my new snubbie and they just don't work. I'm looking for a good leather or leather/kydex model now. Tucker has some interesting looking stuff but they are damn proud ($$$) of it too. Sure wish Comp-Tac had something for me. Gregg, did ya get that HINT ?!?!?

Thanks. Its one of those pay to play things. I just have a hard time spending that much on a holster.

You dont win but WE definitely lose!

Edit: Can somebody ban or at least send Bithabus to a corner for that post?

I understand. I don't have many holsters but the best two cost the most as well.

nope, i would rather carry rocks in a dump pouch, than change the way i dress or the types of guns just to carry concealed.

Carry it under your hat...

im sure i could velcro some harness in the top of my cowboy hat to secure one lol.

Ive been carrying in TX since 2008 without a TX CHL.... so Ive never made a WMW.












I do however have a Florida CHL good for five years since 2007 and just took the TX CHL class I think my first time carrying was off an AFB.

So I've done the WallyWorld walk here in California, and I'll be using my California permit until I get my Texas license but....

when I get my Texas license, does that necessitate a second walk? Inquiring minds want to know...

Yeah - but the good news is that you won't hafta wear a skirt again for THAT one.....us Texas boys don't do that CA chit......


lol!

It's a good real-life test of your ability to conceal. It helps you figure out if you need to correct anything to prevent printing, and it helps you become confident about concealing the gun.
It's also traditional-you might almost call it a rite of passage.

In real life, no one is paying attention to you. You could probably conceal a pistol grip shotgun without having more than one or two people in a walmart notice.

A lot of truth there.
Sadly, most people are just zombified sheep walking around with blinders on.

Yep. Took me a while to get used to the fact that NO one paid attention to the lump on my side - even when carryin' a full-size 1911!

So is there an easy way to know where you can carry? What if I'm at a park that doesnt allow weapons, but the sign is on the other side and you never knew it was there? I read about the Walmart walk but is all walmarts gun friendly or is it store to store?

That's the main concert I have is being somewhere I'm not suppose to be and not knowing. Since we live in the days of people freaking out real easily, I can see my self face down handcuffed instead of someone just telling me that guns aren't welcomed.

That sort of basic stuff should have been covered in your CHL class. If it's a public park you can carry regardless of a 30.06 sign.

Illegal carrying in a federal building? What were you thinking? No one ever "goes postal' in a federal building....LOL

If properly concealed, I'm OK with the P.O....I do it if a stop there in is my days' routine.
