Went looking and turns out Kramer will make his IWB #3 and his other models for the Expert. That would check the quality holster option box for me. And Blade-tech, while not in JMCK's league, is not the worst stuff out there.
I love my USP45, but even with the JMCK IWB #3 it feels like trying to conceal a whole box of Wheaties sometimes. Some solutions won't work for me because I never OC, not even in the woods.
There must have been a batch of these Experts come in this year as I am seeing NIB versions for sale and some even at rational (for HK) prices. I am tempted because I already have a large stock of magazines, I am drowning in .45ACP reloads, and I just sold a bunch of long guns that substantially replenished the gun money fund.
>>>Now waiting from the reliable enablers to tell me what a great decision that would be and how they hold their value even if I don't love it<<<
