Quick review of it:

I Love how it looks, it is beautiful and obviously well made, when I opened up the box I was pretty excited! Great Great job making it!

As far as comfort, Right now its pretty uncomfortable, I wear it either at 3 or 4 o'clock, and it rubs my side pretty nicely, I may have to wear a tank-top under my tshirts to keep my skin safe! My Crossbreed is much more comfy-at least right now, maybe it will soften up a bit.

It holds the gun very tight against my body, and that makes for a very concealable holster. With my Crossbreed I have issues with some t-shirts since the gun isnt all that tight against me, but with this one I don't. Only negative is that you can't tuck a shirt in with this holster. Even with that, I would give the conceal factor to this holster.

On the draw its very nice, I can draw easier from this holster-NOT at first after about an hour of drawing and putting it back in to break it in just a little bit lol.

Well worth the wait and the money-I will switch between my 2 holsters and don't think I'll ever look for another for my Pt-145 Mil pro

Congrats.

Yes, it'll break in a little, mainly as the forward and aft extensions that hold the loops relax and follow the curve of your hip a little.

You can make it tuckable by getting the tuckable clips designed for the Milt Sparks VMII. They work great.

After a short period of getting used to it, it is actually too easy to forget that it's even there.

Having a t-shirt is a must.

The 3 o'clock position for me is a little to much pressure on my hip bone.

The 3:30 - 4:00 o'clock is what works best. Use a good sturdy belt and keep it tight so the gun fits tight to you. I have to tighten my belt 1 notch around noon as it seems everything starts to sage. (ok folks, be nice)

With a little time the holster will form to your body. I suspect it will be the holster of choice.

I use my Mikes Special almost everyday and it's easy to forget you have it. Not really forget but life goes on as normal. Driving, walking, standing ... everything feels normal.

I have had my mikes special for about a month. I think after the first two weeks I forgot I am wearing it. Like Quietpi says the holster forms to your body. I do agree a tee shirt makes a major difference. I never wore tee shirts but I picked up some of the tank type t's and now that is perfect for me.

So, what you're saying is you like strutting around in a wife-beater wearing a gun.

Another argument for pocket carrying a snubby.
