I had to buy a new belt anyway just before getting my holster, so I did get a belt size higher just in case I would need it. I had to punch extra holes in it for use without the holster (this was expected), but now after several months, I could have used my normal belt size. I use a leather belt, so maybe it stretched, or maybe I dropped a little around the waist line :). I also thought I was going to want my pants loose for comfort when using the holster, but now as it turns out I like it snug.

Being that Wildscar and I grew up together I had to go with this holster and now that I have my CHL it gets some decent use and overall I have no problems out of it. I use it for IDPA at least once every 2 months and I now have their 2 mag pouch as well. I carry a full size S&W M&P40, but I must say I am still toying with the adjustment on it. I like the cant as far back as it can go for concealment, but that makes it harder to grab to draw (wierd angle for wrist, plus I have a severly broken right clavicle). Right now it is somewhat in the middle and that seams to be working. I was worried about the butt of the gun causing a print, but when I ask those around me if it shows, they always answer "negative". My main source of transportation is my Harley so my legs are always bent and forward while riding. It is totally comfortable while riding down the road. I now need to move my keys to a different pocket as it can get crammed on my right side. It came with the 3 hole clips, but I got the 5 hole ones to try them out and to be able to play with the adjustments more. Never any worry about loosing my pistol or mags, I trust the retention 100%.

The only downside that bothers me is getting into and out of the wife's car (driver and pass seat). I do have to adjust myself getting in to the car as to not catch my carry on the seat etc. It is a smaller car (Suzuki Forenza), yet getting into and out of a friend's Fox Body Mustang (again driver and pass seats) it is nowhere near as noticable. Or it could be that the wife always has the seat too far forward :)!

As for the 2 mag pouch holster: When I shoot IDPA, I have to make sure I pull upward and not outward to get the mags out easily. If you pull away from your body it is much harder. I have a decent leather belt (1.5") from Harley that does have a small amout of give to it and that I can notice, but it is acceptable. I did loosen the screws for ease of removing the mags for IDPA and have left them loose for daily carry with no problems. It can be frustrating to take off as the mag holster wants to wrap around and grab the belt (a good thing).

I did see that they have a mag type holster for flashlights and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I would like to use the 2 mag holster and attach the flash light one as a 3rd. I know it seams a bit much, but all my brethren usually have lights on them, so I need to be prepared too :).

I do 2nd Wildscar's Review!
