Milt Sparks is pretty popular here, so I decided to put an order in for their OWB holster they call the PMK. In the past I avoided them because the lead times are insane. Even so, I decided they must be popular for a reason and put in for one and a belt last June (roughly). Then I completely forgot about it until I got their green light email to finish the holster. Well it came the other day and naturally like most custom holsters I had to use the bag trick for 24 hours to break it in. Yesterday after the 24 hours was up I drove to the range and the first thing that struck me was how comfortable it is driving with a heavy gun like my 686-3 snubby. Every other holster I have tried for it has had some problem or another that made them a pain to carry that beast but this design made me forget it was there...no digging into my rib cage seated, no pressing the barrel into my leg, stayed tight to my body without pressing into it, etc...
I'll admit I don't know much about holster making or leather work in general so I won't use $100 words on a dollar budget, but it is easily the most quality and comfortable holster I have ever tried with my 686. So much so that I ordered a black crocodile PMK to pair with the natural tan one I now have. Nice to have one for all occasions.
Long story significantly shortened, in my opinion it's not just hype or fancy marketing, these guys really put their heart and soul into their work. They have earned a customer for life, whether that is good or not depends on your outlook YMMV.
