For sale: Rare Milt Sparks HR-LTD, RH inside the waistband holster for 5” 1911s w/1.5" loops. In like-new condition, only tried it out a couple of times and found carrying a 5” 1911 IWB wasn’t for me. This is a similar holster to the VM-II, but nicer in a lot of respects. It has smooth-side leather both inside and out, which makes it easier on the holster’s finish and more moisture resistant. It is also slightly thinner than a VMS-II. It takes all VM-II loops. It was offered under “New Products” until it was discontinued.
Here is a blurb from a cached page for Milt Spark’s website:
"The idea was to create an all leather IWB holster that would offer the holstered weapon protection from body perspiration in a hot humid environment. To provide the moisture protection, waterproof liner is placed on the body side of the holster between the thin leather, inner and outer shell.
Like our other IWB holsters, The mouth of the Heritage is metal reinforced. Because the body of the Heritage is of two layer construction, the metal can be placed between the layers eliminating the need for a separate top band piece. This also allows for a smooth finish inside the holster as well as out. Overall thickness of the two layers is no greater than the single thickness leather we normally use in our other IWB holsters."
You can do a Google search for search for “HR-LTD" and will find numerous threads that discuss this holster where the consensus is that it was preferred over the VM-II.
$150, shipped.
