    I remember when Brownells used to put out a real paper catalog this quote was in the beginning of it;
    "It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When
    you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay
    too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you
    bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The
    common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
    lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well
    to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will
    have enough to pay for something better."
    John Ruskin

    I'm pretty much a chest, shoulder or owb guy. It's been +15 years since I tried one. Figured wth it's cheap why not?
    Probably cost em more to ship it than I paid for it.
    I just don't like all the futzing around, then it's jammed in my pants. I'll give it a few more tries but not overly hopeful. I think it can be used as an owb too may try that.

    I use garrett IWB holsters for CC on my 2.5 python [when the wife is not using it] and a SW 340 PD . Great for florida hot weather carry imho . Silent thunder warrior models ,they are not for running but they hide quite well and draw nicely , i am still waiting for a kramer on the python iwb [7 months] . I have 2 kidney belt type holsters that work in a pinch too for my 357 magnum snubskis .

    T-rex arms makes great holsters.
    Have one of their sidecars and an OWB. With one of their IWB hybrids otw.
    A little pricey, but they 100% back their stuff, and all of it works/fits perfect. I'd rather pay more and not have to worry about fails/nds.

    Your right, but I see no major design differences between this and the other 243 on the market?
    One of the problems is I have no rear or hips so normally I have to crank my belt down and they still slide down over time. Remember I'm outside working, carring, moving, chopping, lifting, chainsawing, etc. Not posing for Recoil magazine.

    I use IWB holsters in a 3-4 o'clock position 99% of the time I'm concealing. My holsters are the single clip Vedders or Safarilands, but I do have a fussy Crossbreed Supertuck I can put on with effort if I want to conceal underneath a tucked-in shirt.

    One of my issues is when you have to goto the can with the iwb.
