Now that I've been carrying out in the world for a couple of weeks now, I feel comfortable to write up a little review of the Blackpoint Tactical Mini Wing Holster that I've been using to tote my Sig P229.
So, What is a Black Point Tactical Mini Wing? It's a kydex holster shell that's specific to a particular gun and at the bottom of the holster on either side, there's little leather tabs or "wings" that have plastic belt clips attached to them by a phillips head screw. The holster comes with two sets of belt clips, 1.5" and 1.75" to accommodate whatever belt you may wear with the holster. The clips are very easily adjustable to change the cant and ride height of the holster. Personally, I'm carrying just behind my hip with minimal if any forward cant. The Holster is tuckable and does a great job of holding the gun close to your body while still allowing you to get a full firing grip and execute a swift draw when needed. The little wings flex to so that the holster conforms to your body wherever you decide to wear it whether it's appendix all the way around to a cross draw. Pretty nifty. Another nifty option that is offered is for an IWB Mini Wing that will accommodate a light mounted pistol, you know, if that's your thing.
From the above, obviously, I'm fond of the holster and would recommend it. My particular specimen is the Sig Legion branded version which is identical to what would be ordered direct from Blackpoint, but I was able to get mine in a matter of about three days from Sig as opposed to the two to four week lead time that Blackpoint quoted. For the two to four week lead time however, you have your choice of many different colors for the kydex holster front and back, different color options for the leather wings, and a choice of plastic or steel IWB clips. Pricing is maybe a little on the high side, but not by any means what I would call unreasonable at $90.00 with minor upcharges for certain Kydex color options. For IWB carry, I'm really digging the Mini Wing. So much so that I'm going to be ordering up another for my newly acquired Walther PPS which I plan to shoot on my lunch break today.
