Almost 10 months of waiting, however 1 month of that was USPS losing my package.

With the exception of Del Fatti, who is unobtanium, I consider Milt Sparks the best leather around. I’ve owned dozens of their holsters and would always choose them first if they offer for the handgun I’m looking for, my belts from them are more than a decade old now and going strong.

The DWX Compact is near perfection for me. 1911 Commander slide profile and size with grips ergos of a CZ 75, albeit 75C.

Axiom (my favorite holster) used one for several years when I carried the Cbob.



The Criterion, trying this for the first time over the VMII since where I wear it more can’t is desired.



The tried and true 55BN for OWB non-CC wear around the property.



And ya gotta get spare mag holders if you’re waiting on a Sparks order to begin with.






10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

Nothing wrong with snobbing for quality in this chinesium market. Looks like great gear.

Very nice! I have to admit that I'm partial to: Kramer Leather since they are local to me.

I too am a leather snob and almost always can be found with a Milt Sparks order waiting in their queue. I have been buy8ng their holsters for over 30 years and have quite a collection. I do also have some Kramer, TT Gunleather, and R. Grizzle stuff as well.

R. Grizzle (Ryan and Kaye) have earned my business from with both quality and service. I carry a CZ PCR in a Georgia Snap (Like the Axiom) quite often. My main CCW for the past couple of years has been a P365 in a MS Criterion.

Very nice gear.

How is "Liking quality gear that's going to last" anything near "snobby"?

Nice Leather!

That last holster looks like the Askins Avenger pattern. Can I see the other side? Might as well post the pistol too! Nice leather.

I believe the 55BN or the old Askins Avenger is one of the best OWB holsters $$$ can buy. EBay has a few from time to time.
