Holster Opinion - Comp-Tac Infidel or Tucker The Answer???

Post by Lumberjack98 »

I need some help with a holster decision here.

I've narrowed my choices down to the Comp-Tac Infidel and Tucker's The Answer.

I'm looking for pros and cons on each and especially any of you that own both.

I'm also a bigger (read fat) guy.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 54" waist and weigh 335.

From reading posts by thinner forum members and some of the issues they sometimes have, I figure my size makes it easier to carry, not harder.

I don't like all Kydex holsters. Nuff said.

I have one Tucker Answer and three of the Texas Heritage, which is the all leather holster. I can't imagine anything more comfortable, having worn it 36 hours straight once.

I have an Infidel for my Sig 239 with the Gurkha stabilizer. I find it to be very comfortable and stable worn with a Comp-Tac belt at about 3:30-4:00.

I recommend both, especially if you would wear either one.

"The Answer" is a shirt-tucker, and will serve your purpose when you need to tuck in your shirt.

The infidel will take care of you during other times.

I am also a big guy and really like my Infidel......I have never tried the Tucker. The Infidel works for me while the C-TAC does not fit me at all.

I've got "The Answer" on order. (No help other than I've heard very good things about it).

Still...waiting...patiently...

I have an Infidel for a P229R in 9mm, about to order the Ghurka stabilizer for it, the holster needs the stabilizer IMHO. I got it as a cheaper, but still quality holster to hold me over until my Tucker Answer arrives.

I may sell it when the Answer arrives, we'll see. All I can say is, when I get another 1911, its getting an Answer right off the bat. The Answer IS tough to beat.....

Well, I got a great deal on a slightly used C-TAC that I couldn't pass up.

I can't comment on the Tucker Answer just yet but I have a Infidel with te belt loops and Ghurka strut and as far as all Kydex holsters go, it's very comfortable and stable. I will more than likely get a Tucker here soon....very soon.
