    I've got one I would have sold you cheap. I know kydex 'seems' less comfortable but they're more rigid which means they're sold and stay where you put them. I've got C-TAC from Comp-TAC as well as custom and after years of concealed carrying I won't use anything other than full kydex now. Everyone is different but I fought the idea of kydex forever. Then, someone at a local gun shop suggested I try a Desantis Scorpion which was this giant kydex goofy looking thing that had you told me to pick the least comfortable holster on the wall based on looks I likely would have selected. I popped a gun into it, strapped it onto my hip and was amazed at how comfortable it was. In fact, the longer I wore it the more comfortable it became because I wasn't constantly fidgeting with it and trying to get it to where I wanted it. I also wear an undershirt so for me kydex is just fine.

    id be interested to try a bunch of different styles OST, next time im up north ill give you a shout and see if you cant bring some different styles for me to try out? I have a full kydex style and the hybrid, the full kydex style i have only has a bottom clip/hook that allows it to rotate on the belt more than i wanted, thats the only reason i went with the hybrid leather backed holster, it clips around the belt and doesnt move at all.

    do you have a gcode incog for sale? id love to test one out

    I'm not a holster dealer or anything like that, just a guy with far too many holsters. :D

    I don't have an incog but you're paying for the name. Steve's kydex holsters are every bit as good for much less money and his lead times are measured in days instead of weeks and in most cases months like the bigger names.

    Those metal clip belt loops are garbage and if you had solid belt loops it would make a WORLD of difference. Better yet, go OWB and use this style belt loops and you'll never go back:

    I was mostly kidding with that statement but there is a kernel of truth to it I suppose. I go varied RPM/Load for the first 100 miles on smaller engines (like a motorcycle or ATV) and maybe 500 miles on a larger engine like a car or truck and then I change the oil and drive the thing changing the oil again at the same mileage as the first oil change and then it's business as usual. if you don't take advantage of the break-in period your rings won't seat properly and you will have issues later. I've built plenty of engines in my time and bought plenty of brand new vehicles and I've never had an issue. They run better and faster and never a bit of oil use.

    Actually that was my stance.
    That the manufacturers recommended break in procedures may not be the best idea
