I just added a Springfield Custom Pro .45 Operator to my carry rotation. I ordered (recvd) a leather Mitch Rosen 5JR Express which I really like. I also have a leather Milt Sparks holster on back order for this pistol.

Can you reholster the pistol with one hand? If the answer is no, pass on the holster. Some type of retention is needed as well.

I wear a ANR AIWB 12-14 hours per day. Every day.

I can. Yes. I carry at 3, so I think thats why I like soft material ?

Stealth gear any good?

Currently wearing an El Paso Saddlery cowboy rig,.

With a 5 1\2" SAA, with ivories.

Haven't even handled the SAA ib 2-3 yrs. Saw it in the safe, fondled it a bit, then decided to do the whole rig. My Fed-Ex guy was impressed when he delivered today.

I have so much. fun stuff, but seldom. use it.

So I've started brunging out the seldom seen/shot stuff and USING. it. Feels good.

R Grizzle "CB"

For a P229.

Tulster Oath for my 365XL. Absolutely love it.

Most often an IWB holster along the lines of this Bruce Nelson Combat Leather Summer Special; less often, an OWB such as this Milt Sparks Roadrunner. Both have just about the same ride-height and degree of forward cant. Magazine pouch is a Sparks S4C.

RGrizzle CS2 for everything but my P229 which is in a TC2. Great craftsmanship and incredibly comfortable.

black hills leather for my work gun (96a1 custom) and a JM Customs off duty..BUT...

Best holster I ever rocked was a Kramer Paddle ISP with optional thumb snap..HANDS DOWN best holster ever. It carried a Nighthawk Custom Recon GRP..bad ass blaster and bad ass holster)

Kramer holsters are rock solid.

Hey, you are correct! It’s a Springfield Armory Professional.

Been quite happy with the two Tenicor holsters I have. My 225 rides in a Kramer IWB #2

When wearing my war belt, the pistols ride in a Safariland6354DO

I don't know about rocking, but the holsters I wear most are Black Arch Protos-M IWB holsters.

+1....really like these.

For my carry tools I've finally narrowed it down to the Milt Sparks Executives Companion; below are the P225 factory two tone & P220 SS Elite

Mine is a Ryan Grizzle Warpig. Awesome holster, love that it can go from IWB to OWB.

I carry my P224 in a Jackson Leatherworks appendix holster. I also have a Crossbreed SuperTuck when I carry the P229 or P227. Both are very comfortable.

Ritchie Gun Leather Belt Speed Scabbard. The most comfortable OWB holster I have come to love. Use it for my 1911's, Sig's and Glocks.

Kramer Horsehide Vertical Scabbard has become my standard. They work very well for me. I have one for everything in my carry rotation except my J-frame, which is always pocket-carried.

I’ve used several brands in the past including C5 Leather, Milt Sparks, Tier 1, KT Mech and others. This past winter I bought a Tenicor holster and haven’t looked back. I prefer kydex holsters for my edc in the appendix position and Tenicor nailed it. I get no hot spots from the edges and with their one design I can change the light I use to carry without swapping holsters.
