The best made, most comfortable IWB I've found, and the one I swear by now, is the Milt Sparks Versa Max 2. I've also got their Summer Special, which looks like it would be even better for its simplicity, but the VM2 is the one that cannot be beat. It ain't cheap, but it will last a lifetime, and is the most comfortable and efficient of all I've tried.

Get the horse hide. Tougher, slicker for an easier draw, and moisture resistant.

Late reply as I have not checked this thread for a while. I have carried for 38 years now and almost always IWB. Bought a Milt Sparks VMII a couple years ago for a 4" 1911 and it is by far the best IWB holster I ever had, ended up with three for 1911's, 3,4 & 5". Ended up selling the 3" to a friend when I sold him my 3" Raptor, that I replaced with a Wilson Stealth but the VMII in horsehide can't be beat, great holsters and the only holster that I know of that can be sold used for about the same price and in some cases more than a new one. You can expect about a two month wait for a new one when ordering.

Two of my babies...



I also have a Ruger P90 blued and a Ruger 22/45 Target with the 5.5" barrel. Long guns are a Winchester 1300 12g with 28" and 18" barrels and an early 80's vintage Marlin Model 60 (pre-Freedom Group era) with the full 22" barrel.
