I started with a blade tech and then won a comp tac from an IDPA event. The blade tech is a little slimmer which I like in three gun for belt space since I'm so dang skinny. The comp tac has a deeper draw cut and seems to be a little smoother out of the holster. If you want to use something you might actually carry I would suggest a hideous holster (zero concealment systems). They are holsters made by cops in their garage, they are a good price, ship fast and the body hugging kydex holsters are the way to go for concealment. I wear one for duty everyday.
