Just received the Milt Sparks VM-2H holster for my new PM9. I ordered the holster on 3/03/11 and received it this afternoon. Beautifully done as usual. I did notice they did not seem to adjust for the slightly longer beveled slide on the newest model. Pistol fits fine.

looks great! its so nice finally receiving a custom leather holster of that quality after waiting for the production time, isn't it? you may want to shoot them an email or something and just let them know about the slide on the newer model pm9s in case they aren't tracking the change.

i've had a few MS holsters in the past for my compact framed glocks, they are excellent quality and very comfortable for extended wear. if you like his design of the vm2 i would also suggest checking out ttgunleather's collection, equally nice quality and the company is a little more personable (milt sparks is obviously a very busy guy but sometimes its nice to have that one on one communication).

you did well with the vm2 and i'm sure you'll get plenty of years of joy using it!

Jeff, I want to teach you how to use Photobucket and post your pics from there. You can make them as large and high def as you want, and they are right there - no waiting.

First, go to Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) and open an account (unless you already have one). Click "Upload now" and browse your computer to get your pictures loaded into Photobucket. You can create sub-albums to arrange them in. When looking at a sub-album, you can click "View as slideshow", then copy the address and paste it in your post as a hyperlink by clicking the blue and green world icon (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/John_England/Misc/WorldIcon.jpg) and doing Ctrl-v to paste the address in there. If you want the hyperlink behind some text in your post, highlight the text before doing the previous step. Example: My Custom Mirror Polished CM9 (http://s1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/John_England/My%20Custom%20CM9/?albumview=slideshow)

To put a picture in your post, when in Photobucket, place your cursor over the picture. A menu will appear. Click in the "Direct link" field. The picture will be copied. Go back to your post, place the cursor where you want the pic to be, click on the picture icon (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/John_England/Misc/PictureIcon.jpg) and paste the link in there. Example:

Thanks Jfootin. That worked well.

Sure did! Now that is the kind of pic that holster deserves. Its a beauty! How comfortable is it? How easy to draw from? Is it tight? Will you have to loosen it up and break it in? Or, is it ready for duty?

http://http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z389/Jeff00042/K9VM-2H1.jpgThe holster is completely cordovan. Very comfortable. Snug fit but definitely ready to use. Does not move around at all and uis easy to draw. I just received two VM-2H holsters from Milt Sparks. The holster I received for my K9 has an open bottom. Both show excellent workmanship and fit. Here's a shot of the K9 holster.
