I want to switch from my Uncle Mike's size 36 soft IWB to a "real" holster. I have decided on Comp-tac because of the price, turn around time, and flexibility. I will be staying with IWB carry. I have a few concerns though.
First off, I'd like to get the opinions of you guys that have Comp-tacs. Which ones and why do you like/dislike it? What would you change? Looking for some experience and hindsight here.
One of my concerns is that I can't carry all of the time. No wal-mart carry here, no restaurants until Dec. (that's right, we won one, woot!). I also don't carry at work unless someone was recently fired. I don't carry IWB while in the car because of the considerable amount of time added to the draw (unless I add a gun for only pass. seat use which is possible). So I take my gun off of my side a couple of times each day. With my soft holster, I can leave the holster on (it is on me right now with the gun in the car) and it disappears completely. I know that Kydex will not do the same thing. Are the comp-tacs fairly easy to put on and take off? I don't want to have to take my pants half way off every time I pull up to the shop, wally world, restaurant, you get the idea. Do some of you leave the holster on while not carrying? If not, do you have trouble getting it on and off while in the car (assuming no one stands in a parking lot while dicking around with their holster and gun)? Should I ask more questions? Are we there yet? What about now?
I should say that I am 5'11" 185 lbs. Fairly small frame.
Thanks so much in advance.
