Any one use a milt sparks vm2?

[Jrhemming]

I have been looking around for a nice iwb holster and the vm2 has came up a lot. Any one use this holster and how do you like it. I currently have a cross breed but I hate the metal clips on it the dig into my skin and the holster backing is too wide I have to put my 1911 back farther on my hip to be able to flex at the hip. I have seen some copy cats but I have heard there is no substitute for the real thing so I'm thinking about ordering one. The wait sucks but i would rather wait then pay double the price to have it right now

Great holsters! Search for Milt Sparks on e-bay. They usually have a few for 1911s, eliminating the wait.

Tony makes a surplus SSs and VM2s.

Can't you still get them from Lighting Arms Sports or Brownells?

I got mine on ebay for $150. You can find a great deal there if you are patient and there are always 1911 models available. I highly recommend it, top quality all the way and it's comfortable.

VM2's command the price and wait time for a reason...STELLAR holster with superb craftmanship. I Would not trade mine for the world. That said Holsters are personal to you, what works for me may not be optimal for you, try one if you can.

IF you want to look at alternatives I can reccomend either TT gunleathers version or Kelly Gunleather who just made me a custom VM2 style for a Government Model with a Dawson rail. Both are also superbly made versions at roughly the same price point though shorter wait times.

VM2

 

[Pitmaster]

I have three VMIIs for a reason, they are excellent holsters. Kimber TLE, Walther P99, and Glock 30 are the weapons I carry and use in IDPA.

I agree 100% on the TT. I went with the TT over the VM2 for two reasons. The gun sits just a little lower and has a little more forward cant. For a top heavy gun like the HK P7 it makes a difference. The VM2 is the original and is a excellent holster though.



TT mikes special IWB for HK P7M8.

Cant speak specifically to the vm2 but the summer special is what i carry all year round with a full size 1911. Construction is excellent as well as quality of the leather used. I have had mine for approximately three years and there is no deformation of the boning or the leather itself.

Milt Sparks makes great products.

thanks

I carry my commander in one. It's a very nice holster.

VM2

I had actually thought about Kelley leather but was worried I would be dissapointed. Are they on par with milt sparks?

 

[Captain Bligh]

I own three, and have plans for two more. They are great!

VM2

^^^^ This ^^^^

The VM2 is the Rolls Royce of IWB holster IMHO

 

[Cowboy1629]

Keep an eye open to VM2 1911 HOLSTERS - Top Gun Supply You pay a little more but they are always getting holsters in.

I have VM2's for 1911's and Glocks. Just ordered one a few months ago for my 642 also.

 

[youngda9]

I tried one when I used to carry a Sig 229. It rode too high for me, I like to conceal my gun. Look at where the trigger guard sits in proportion to where the top of the belt line would be, see picture in post #5. I sold mine shortly after purchasing it.

Your personal preference, but not mine. It rides just the way I like it.

 

[tradertator]

My Milt Sparks VM2 is the nicest IWB holster I have ever messed with. Well worth the price.

 

[sjstill]

Been using a VMII for over 5 years, usually carry my TRP in it, but my Champion and BHP also fit. Horsehide still looks new, in spite of EDC...

 

[mospeada]

They are very nice holsters. I bought my first at TopGun and second directly from them. The wait was crappy and if you think about it, you can get one for $20-$40 more than direct and that's not so bad.

Alternatively, you may think of an M-TAC holster from Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster, they come with non-metal clips that are pretty tough and the thing I like most about mine is that the leather portion isn't so large like a Crossbreed or the like.
