[align=left][/align]Can someone direct me to a source for Kydex holsters (belt not paddle) for a 2-inch Model 10 and a Kimber compact and others?

I would also like to have a lined leather belt holster for the Model 10. I have some old Safarilands that I love but neither they nor Bianchi will acknowledge my existence anymore.

Thanks for any help.

Can't help with the model 10.

How about these for the Kimber: (I'm assuming "compact Kimber" means less than fulll size 1911)

I have the same Galco holster formy XDm, but I don't like the feel of it because it is so rigid. It is completely kydex and the distance betwen loops feels to far apart for my taste. Although this provides a very sturdy platform, it feels like strappinga 2x4 along side my belt. I don't know about you, but my hip is ROUNDED from front to back. This holster feels like it's made for SpongeBob Squarepants. The photo shows a glock, but the actual description and product number is for an officer length 1911 (although I'm pretty sure the length doesn't matter on either holster because they are both open bottom)

It would fit a long slide as well as an officer in it because the bottom is open. One would just stick out further.

I'm unfamiliar with the Comp-Tac.

I'm a fan of leather and have this for my compact 1911 and love it:

I use this for OC, but if I ever CC, I switch to an open top leather belt holster as retention becomes less of an issue.
