I carry both my shield and my compact in the milt sparks VMII IWB holster,and here is why. I like the fact that it has two points to attach to the belt and they are not stacked on top of the gun, this keeps the combination of gun and holster thinner than when the loops are on top of the gun. second the anchor points are spread out to make the holster more stable. And the fact that the mouth or opening of the holster is reinforced with metal so it does not collapse for re-holstering is a plus and it is comfortable or I would not own 2 of them. I also only own leather holsters, I bought the king tuck and used it for 3 days and ordered my 2nd milt sparks, if it is not comfortable it will stay home.
