Anyone know where i can get one?

El Paso Saddlery's prices are actually quite competitive, at least for the concealment holsters. I was going to suggest Galco as a less expensive, but good-quality alternative, but their are very close to EPS'. There are a few other differences, though, so here you go.

Tucker makes "The Answer" for the 24-7. Everyone I know who has one raves that it is definitely worth both the money and the wait.

Brilliant leather/kydex hybrid, with almost invisible belt clips.

I hear good things about the Comp-Tac Infidel, it appears it's not available for the 24/7 yet but the Pro Undercover is apparently the same thing except it's not 'modular'.

This is just word of mouth, I haven't actually used it myself (because if I carried here police would shoot me without hesitating, not to mention the social stigma even if it was legal). Here's a review:

QuotePicked up the Comp-Tac Infidel holster several weeks ago and after some wear and tear I feel I have a good handle on the pro's and con's. Overall it is a great holster. It is extremely light and the draw is fast. It has a nice audible "click" as the gun snaps into place. Security wise, the retention screws allow for whatever level of retenion you like. I have mine pretty tight, I can hold the holster upside down and shake hard and my fully loaded HK P2000 will not come out, but it still draws like butter. I was most concerned with the kydex being too rigid, especially after using a nylon IWB holster prior to this. However, I have found it to be more comfortable than a nylon IWB. I think it has to do with the thiness of the kydex compared to the thicker nylon. The flexibility of the Infidel is a great feature, you can change out a belt clip to a shirt tucker and so on. It's a nice feature and leaves me to wonder what the market will be for remainder of Comp-Tacs IWB models. The biggest plus is reholstering, having the rigid shapes allows for reholstering while keeping your eyes on target. Stability wise, I've had no complaints, it stays in place and even on the run it does fine. Concealability is tops as you can see in the pics, which were taken with a single layer t-shirt and jeans.

Really there are only two downsides, first the price, $50 without attachments and each attatchment is at least $5. In the long run, $50 isn't much to ask, especially when the holster could outlast the gun. Second I would have liked the belt clip to have more surface area against the actual holster. The positioning of the belt clip against the holster allows only a small portion of the belt clip to make contact with the holster. It's a minor gripe and belt retention has not been a problem. I also got a shirt tucker with this, but haven't had a chance to use it.

Another thing is Comp-Tac's customer service. They got a left handed P2000 Infidel to me in 4 days. Most companies don't make anything for the P2000, let along deliver in 4 days. They sent extra hardware with the holster and during a follow up phone call, specifically asked if I was happy and anything I would like to see changed. You don't see that kind of customer service anymore.

I'd check out Dutyman, Strong leather, Gould & Goodrich, JBP, Safariland, Galco, PWL, and the FIST holster.

As a temporary one-size-fits-many holster, there are the Uncle Mike's IWB's. They're soft, they fit a lot of guns, and they're cheap.

Have you called Riley's?

I now make custom fitted holsters from Kydex. Right now I only have black, but eventually I hope to have other colors available. I can fit a holster to pretty much any handgun. I can fit it to you, with your choice of angle, height, tension, and style. So far I have only made IWB holsters, but I think I can make just about anything you want. I am planning to make some magazine holders as well. If you are not happy with the results, you don't have to buy it They have a smooth finish on the inside, and a haircell (matte, similar to stippled) finish on the outside. I have black brass rivets in at least two sizes, and adjustable black screw type fasteners. I live in Somersworth, NH, but for a little extra money (probably about 50 cents per mile, negotiable), I can bring my equipment to you and make it at your home or business. If you want to see the one I made for my Sig 226, just ask.

i sent you a PM a while ago...(atleast i thought it did) maybe it didnt go through...how long of process are we talking from fit to finish?

and yes...i would love to see you custom 226 holster

by the way had a practice qual today scored a 221 first try!

I didn't get your PM. It usually takes me about 3 hours or so to make a standard IWB holster. I can also make a combination IWB holster that also serves as a outside electronic device holder. I could make it look like it is just a cell phone holder, but that would cost more. I would prefer to have you there with me while I make the holster so that you can try it for fit and comfort and I can make any adjustments as needed. I have free wifi if you want to surf the net while I work on your holster. If you have someone else's Kydex holster, but want it adjusted or reshaped, I can do that too.
