Default Take my CHL sunday/need a good holster

Im taking my Chl this sunday with of course my 9mm sig. I cant wait although i hear the classroom stuff is BORING. Once i get my license i will carry everywhere i can besides work. I have been looking at some crossbreed holsters. From what i have read they seem awesome. I just want something relatively comfortable and well made. Price doesnt matter.

Comp-Tac : Top-Quality Firearm Accessories CTAC if they make it for your pistol, you can't go wrong with it...crossbreed holsters are good, no question about it, but I'm not a fan of the leather/kydex marriage...they are just not for me...

I've got 2 CTAC's, one for the Sig 239 & one for a Springfield 1911, they are ubber comfortable & superb at concealment...

For holsters and belt's you want a "matched pair" and by this I mean a holster/belt combo that is designed for concealed carry & a belt that is designed to support the weight of a gun...and at least one reload...

As far as belts...if you want a leather one go with Gun Belts by The Belt Man nobody makes a better leather belt...unless ya want to pay 4-5 times as much...

However, take a good hard look at Ares Gear he makes the best gun/jeans belt you will ever own...while I don't have one...yet I'm going to get one...I've got 2 cobra pistol belts, one from a company I just can't recommend & one that's a really good belt..but I forget the name of the company off the top of my head & need to look...:eek:

Match the belt to the holster...thus if you want a 1.5 wide belt get a holster with 1.5 wide belt loops...you do not want belt slots in a holster that fit a range of belt widths....you get movement & it does not conceal as well....

tat's what the cops call a clue.....

Either ya got a junk gun that's not work a **** and needs to go to the pawn store....or ya have a old family heirloom that is better off as a range/display gun....

Either way ya need to get a good quality pistol and dump the pistol.....

So either you are not looking hard enough, looking correctly or it's a pistol somebody sent in that's junk and paid em enough money to customize...and then sold to a sucker...

Are you saying you can not find a holster for a wilson combat pistol & if so....what kind of pistol is it...

Seriously, what do you expect when you are talking about a "production" pistol made by a company that specializes in custom handguns...and they don't even make it, but import them from South Africa and the quality is rather dubious....

Not much of a demand for such a pistol, let alone a holster...chances are ya won't find a non custom holster for it outside of Wilson Combat...

im looking into having one built for it but wondered if you had any input other then putting people down. it is the only handgun i have found that i really liked how it feels in my hand for its size.

Not putting you down....not trying to hurt your feelings...now go pull up your big girl panties

The ADP is not a production pistol by any major company here in the states & it's a imported pistol from South Africa that has a documented track record of "issues" and failures...

It's clearly not a hand fitted Wilson Combat custom pistol & that's not in dispute...I have a friend who has a custom wilson custom pistol, he sent a Colt 1911 to them...and then had to return it 3 times prior to Wilson ensuring it ran 100% of the time....that's just the way things go...

Pistols are hunks of metal/plastic death...they are designed to kill and protest you the owner...they are not designed to be "comfortable" and fit your hand like your ***** fits your hand...natural point of aim is more important than comfort...how the weapon functions, ease of repair, ease/price/availability of spare parts & mags are all more important than comfort. In all reality, how much time do you really spend holding you pistol...

I have a G19 and am trying to purchase another one...I hate how it "feels" in my hand, it's not comfortable, but it functions 100% of the time, it will hit what I aim at..it will do it's part..and I just need to do my part...and parts/mags are easy/cheap to come by...as are armorers who know how to keep it running if I can't.

But hey, shoot it and enjoy it
