What is your carry holster/belt?

[brainiac]

Brainiac,
Is Brommeland making deliveries again? Taking new orders? What was your wait time? Heard that he was having personal problems and stopped taking orders to try and get caught up on his backlog. Hope he has now weathered the storm. He makes quality leather goods.

Not sure of his current status; I've had mine almost two years and I waited about 3 months for it back then if I remember correctly. Absolute top-quality stuff though (and I only got the "service grade") - it was worth the wait. There have been a lot of complaints about the wait time on the 1911forums.com but I would order from him again.

My belts are all from Tom Hancock at Texas Gunslinger. One and a half inch, double thickness belts.

My favorite holster is a Tucker HF1, shown with Colt Model 04091U stainless Combat Commander.

The next photograph shows three Galco holsters that get regular use.

From the left, a Galco Concealable w/Colt Series 70, a Galco Silhouette w/S&W 3" barreled 686 Plus, and a Galco Concealed Carry Paddle w/Colt stainless Series 70.

The final photo shows a Kramer Gunleather Belt Scabbard in horsehide with my Smith & Wesson 686.

That Tucker holster is nice looking.

Thank you Alan.
As I said, it's by far my favorite, and conceals wonderfully, in spite of the extra leather. Or maybe, because of it!?!?!

Mine is a pancake from DM Bullard in Azle Texas
Good leather Good Price Good workmanship
It works for me and fits all my 1911's

Good shooting and be safe.

Gary announced a month or 2 ago that he was closer to getting caught up, but it sounds like a lot of people just wanted a refund, which he's appearently issuing very quickly. Or if you piss him off, no matter how long you've been waiting, he send you a refund.

As of about a month or so ago, he stopped taking direct orders and as he says now on his site, will only be selling through Coal Creek Armory and only his Service Grade leather. Nothing wrong with it, it's the same high quality but just not the detail in the boning.

I'm fortunate to have gotten my hands on a Presentation Grade Max Con V and I've kept it over a VMII which I'm currently selling. My 2nd holster, and one I'm learning to really like, is another Milt Sparks, the SSII.

I bought 4 pieces, the 3 mentioned above as well as a Mitch Rosen Workman in the Slimline grade and I'm keeping the Brommeland and SSII. The Rosen is a friggen piece of art, but it just doesn't feel right on me. It tucks really well though.

Both the Rosen and VMII are being sold. I may end up retiring on the sale of the VMII.

So for me, it's a Brommeland Max Con V original presentation grade and a Milt Sparks SSII. I'm looking for belts now. I'm learning a good belt is a really big part of comfortable and secure carry.

Good to see you over here LT. I saw the picture and knew I recognized it from 1911.

 

[longtooth]

Thanks for the welcome guys. I have already seen a lot of familiar folks.

 

[tex45acp]

My primary carry is a Wilson Professional in a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2. I hold it up using a Don Hume GunBelt. I have several custom holsters but none can hold a candle to the VM2 in comfort for all day wear.

Finally got a couple pictures dressed in leather. No, not me, my Kimber!

[Madhouse]

I carry my Kimber Ultra Carry II in a Milt Sparks summer special just like in JKTex's last picture.

As for a belt, at Kohl's I found a belt made for hiding money in with a zipperd pouch inside it - it's very stiff, so it serves as a good inexpensive gun belt.

 

[Tim the Teacher]

Had this holster for "Little Brother "made by DM Bullard in Azle. Carry it on a Looper Belt.
