Although the great holster maker Lou Alessi passed away last year, there are several new guys doing REALLY nice leather work. I find custom leather is usually softer and much more broken in feeling than the commercial stuff. Plus you can have it any way you want it :)

I love the work 5Shot Leather is doing:

I agree with you and that's pretty much what I thought that I said a post or two ago albeit in a different manner?

My comment about guns not needing safety's was in response to Milky's post which I found to be a bit sarcastic, so I thought I'd throw one back. Maybe I misunderstood, but yeah, I DO in fact realize that Glocks have a safety system.

Sorry if it came off sarcastic, it was mainly in jest to you calling yourself an airhead. No offense intended.

My main point was that if you follow the main 4 rules of gun safety and get a good holster that covers the trigger guard, a Glock is as safe or arguably more safe than any other gun out there with a safety lever.

Plus, if 5h!t ever hit the fan, you can just pull the trigger and Know it is going to fire instead of trying to work a safety lever. YMMV, I carry a G19 and a S&W 642 so no external safeties for me.

Bottom line, keep your booger hook off the bang switch, ha!

Now back to IWB holsters... any recommendations as to what is the most comfortable and easily accessible?

Comp-Tac MTAC is what I use for my G19 and it seems to get pretty good reviews, fairly inexpensive, and easily attainable.

Edit: A little more expensive than when I bought it, the Milt Sparks VM2 also gets good reviews for not too much more.

Well made, nicely priced, and the owner/maker is a great guy to deal with.

And he gives you a couple weeks to try it out, so if you don't care for it, you can ship it back. Mine is three years old and is wearing well. Comfortable and secure without snaps or straps.

No worries, no offense taken! The truth is that I'm not much of a pistol guy anyway, my main interest are rifles, BP muskets etc - more so historical stuff so I'm honestly out of my element in a conversation about pistols. I was thinking about eventually getting something to take down to the range and just have some fun plinking and whatnot though - what would be a good basic pistol for a person to start with?

I would suggest a Ruger Mk III; basic .22 LR, reliable, accurate and won't bust the bank.

Yep I have been jonesin' for one of those. I started with a Glock 19 (medium sized 9mm) since I wanted a carry, competition, and house gun all in one (I was mainly a shotgun guy before my handguns). I am also not ballin' enough to afford multiple handguns so I was looking for at least 9mm. If I had been more able I definitely would have bought a .22 first or at least at the same time so I could get more trigger time for less money.

I have got a Browning Medalist .22 pistol that I believe could shoot the eye lashes off a gnat if a gnat had eye lashes...

I have an advantage in acquiring nice firearms. As I mentioned earlier my wife is a retired gun dealer. At one point she owned over 6000 firearms. She sold guns to Hank Williams Jr and Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch to name a few.

Here is an exerpt from a Guns magazine article by John Taffin: "Missed Opportunities"

"Ten years earlier I had walked the aisles of the Reno Gun Show trying to decide whether or not to buy a cased set of 1873-1973 Colt Peacemaker Centennials consisting of a 7 1/2" US marked Cavalry .45 Colt and a nickel plated .44-40 Frontier Six-Shooter with the same barrel length. I finally decided to pass in one of the rare moments that I've ever showed restraint, and have regretted it ever since. Now at the Morris Watch Shop I found examples of the same sixguns, unfired, in the presentation cases for five dollars less than those I had seen 10 years earlier. What to do? I simply added a little more ice to my plastic card and bought them. I guess it was meant to be for me to always have a running tab when it comes to sixguns."

After shooting several Gemtech - Rugers, both rifles and pistols......I'd HAVE to go with a quiet, Gemtech version of the MKIII :)

These things are just plain cool if your state allows. All you hear is the action cylcling and brass landing on the ground.

One of my local buds has the longer version along with several AR's that are suppressed as well. My wife is waiting on the paperwork for her CZ75 barrel and can to go through. I'm tempted to get the .22 pistol. There's just something fun about shooting silenced guns. My bud and I found them to be a chick magnet at the range too :D
