    Could it be any clearer? Any law that infringes on our right to keep and bear arms is a violation of the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional.

      Custom made will always fit you. Find a maker and talk with them. Get the right holster the first time.

        I used to carry a P2000 in an infidel with the clip. It works OK, but it shifted around so much by the end of the day that I ended up ordering the belt loops to replace the clip.

        The Infidel is a great kydex IWB though, but that clip is just not all that secure for all day carry.

          My personal experience with IWB carry is it totally sucks! It is so uncomfortable. The pistol is smashed against your side making it hard to get your thumb in between your body and the grip to get a good, quick grip for a fast, clean draw. If you cinch your belt enough to keep your pants secure and support the weight of the gun then your belt is actually pinching the gun in the holster further making a clean draw difficult, not to mention the thing digging into your side all day. I a nice OWB, leather pancake type holster is SO much more comfortable. And with my slender build the difference in printing with IWB vs. OWB is negligible.

            I carry primarily IWB as my 1911 conceals better that way. I do not wear an undershirt and my primary clothing covering is just a t-shirt. I use a Milt Sparks VMII that has a leather piece which goes up high on the receiver and acts like a barrier between the hammer/safety/upper receiver and my body. With this combination I have never had any problems with the gun rubbing on my side. I have however used IWB holsters which did not have the high covering and I did experience this. Kydex holsters are very stiff and even with the high covering I experienced rubbing.

            My recommendation is to buy a quality leather holster. The leather will bend to the shape of your body and is more forgiving than kydex holsters. Custom holsters are not that much more expensive than off the shelf holsters but once you carry in one you will know why a lot of people recommend them. Why buy a $50 holster to carry your $1k gun anyways?

            Regarding IWB mag holders. I have one, used it once and haven't used it since. I prefer OWB mag holders.

              Someone also suggested this one, claiming it to be really good? http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/IW...me,ProductName
              No claims, it's true. The Crossbreed Supertuck is the single best IWB I've ever worked with.

              It's too late, it's over.

                    I use the clip.

                    I like http://www.fist-inc.com/

                    I like the #6 and you can customize it, the way you like it.

                    I get the body protector, forward cant, full reinforcement, and molded for the safety on, for my EMP

                    Good quality, reasonable price, about a month wait

                      Wow, a HK USP IWB? That is quite a piece of iron to stick inside the pants, and spare double stack mag IWB? I hope he's buying pants and belts 4" too big.

                      People love the Crossbreeds and Minotaurs. I use a Milt Sparks Summer Special II for my Champion size 1911 and it's great. I might wind up trying a Crossbreed or Minotaur but I don't like the idea of such a big holster against my body. Of the two, I prefer the Minotaur since you can change holster bodies with it. I also use a pretty basic Galco for IWB but that's for a Kahr P9 so weight is not an issue. That USP is going to need lots of support to be comfortable in any form of carry.

                            Contact Milt Sparks, they may work something up for you. It may add a couple months ontop of their long wait time, and you'll probably be without your Barrett since they gotta mold the leather. But with a good quality belt you won't even know it's there!
