I've been using a Dillon "Desert Special" inside the waistband holster for several years now. It's ready to be retired, "read worn out", so I'm looking for a replacement. I carry either my 1911 or my HP and cost is a factor in this decision. I know you get what you pay for, but ..........

Any suggestions?

I hate to say it, but I've got three that I rotate through depending on circumstances. I'll preface the holster designations by saying that all three holsters ride on a Milt Sparks 1 1/2" sharkskin belt regardless.

First in cost and preference, but somewhat limited use due to not being "easy on / easy off" is a Milt Sparks #60TK. This is the one I wear if I know I won't need to remove it before coming back home.

Next in line if a Blade-Tech IWB. I have both J-hooks and straps and frankly prefer the straps for the "easy on / easy off" feature.

Last in preference for CCW, but probably the most used is, again Blade-Tech, but the paddle holster. This goes on and off alot, and reasonably easy.

I love "moo", but have started to develop a realy appreciation for Kydex. Having said that, I do NOT like the holster or magazine carriers that I have from Fobus. I would NOT recommend them unless you need something right now. That's the only reason I have anything from them.
 
KyTac Braveheart.

If getting the holster on and off quickly is a consideration, that's a major plus with the Braveheart.

I've got 2 Comp-Tac holsters I rotate with my P229; the Undercover and the Shirt Tucker. I also have a Pager Pal that I use for an assortment of small pistols such as my HsC or the PT111. For the other main carry pistol for winter carry, a BHP, I use a Roy's Original Pancake.

I looked at lots of holsters before I bought one for the P229. Among them were Galcos, Don Humes, and Milt Sparks. All fine holsters, but I like what I have for reasons that are sometimes mysterious even unto myself.

Plastic guns love plastic holsters.

Thats why I carry the G19 in a Comp-Tac undercover. ;)

My Taurus PT 100 rides in a Don Hume leather IWB holster.
 
Milt Sparks Versa Max II. I've been lucky enough to find used ones for both my CZ 75 and HK P7M8.
 
Milt Sparks VMII. I have one for a 1911, but my BHP fits it very nicely.

My G26 goes in an Alessi Watch Six Dual Talon . . . lets just say I like the pistol more than I do the holster.
