I am looking for a good IWB. Which Bladetech is better the standard IWB or the Ultimate IWB? For only $5 difference it seems like it might be worth it for the adjustable cant. I've also been hearing a lot of good things about the Comp-tac C-T.A.C. Does anyone know which is better?
Well, that's really a matter of personal preference. I have both for my Walther P99, IMO they both have pros and cons but in they end the Blade-Tech UCH wins by a large margin. Here's my take on the features of both.
BT UCH
Comfortable
Single belt loop, easier to conceal but allows for some torque of the holster without proper belt...
Because the belt loop "wing" is also kydex, it pulls the grip in tighter to the body to aid in
concealment.
Phillips head adjustment screws. Can be tightened up with a leatherman if need be.
6-8 week wait
CTAC
Very adjustable, great first time holster to figure out what cant and such you want in the future.
Uses a VERY small allen wrench to tighten screws, easily lost and not a common size in a wrench
kit...
fairly comfortable.
A bit more stable than BT with two clips but I found them a bit of a pain to wrestle with getting
them on. Could be operator error on that one though...
3-5 DAY wait!
My suggestion if you are in a hurry to get a holster is get the CTAC first as it will arive much sooner and be a very acceptable stop gap until you can order and wait for the BT UCH.
Sincerely,
MC
