Every generation seems to think they can re-invent the wheel by giving it another name.
This thing is tighter than a freshly tuned conga drum. A couple of days stretching will be needed, before I can even start doing reps. That said - it’s hot.
SME begs for the DCC clips. right, @newt ?
The SME holster has been like a religious conversion for me. I’ve tried a TON of AIWB holsters and the closest I came was JM Custom 2.5. Which I use a lot but just decided were the best I could find. But I’ve managed to get two unobtanium SME’s in the last month and I’m officially in heaven. This is THE best holster design I’ve found in 20 years. And the DCC clips are a good add. I’m using them for my two of my three primary carries, 1911 and Beretta/Wilson/LTT mutt gun. Here’s my MARS and my Centac with LTT bits. If anyone has one for a G17 I’m in the market.

Don’t get me wrong, the 2.5 is still a fantastic holster and I’ll continue to us them, particularly for small form Glocks like my 43.
But I think two things really make the SME. 1 is just that it’s leather. There just aren’t any corners. It moves a little more.
But the REAL difference is that elongated delta wing with the slight curve. I’m assuming it was intentional design through various iterations. But at the top it’s thicker than it looks and hugs the grip into your body as well or better than any other design I’ve seen. And the elongated delta bit just sort of fits in to where my leg/groin meet and keeps the whole thing comfortable and positioned properly. So it’s comfortable all day and doesn’t sag.
All that combo really let’s me conceal a full size 1911 or or up to a Beretta BrigTac/Centac and do it comfortably for long periods.
On the other side, I will say JM’s customer service fantastic. I’ve had some minor frustrations with 5shot/John. I had an old LA-CCS 5shot that I needed some new loops for and contacted John twice. Both times I was promised follow up, both times I got ghosted. I kinda swore I wouldn’t do a 5shot again, but the SME has me sold. I bought one of these used from a forum member, and one from Langdon who actually had it in stock.
Cool, thanks for the feed back
