Holster for H&K handgun
I bought the H&K handgun that was offered to pilots. [Mod delete: security] Can anyone recommend a place to buy a holster for it?

I have this holster for several different pistols (Mid-sized glocks, HK P30 and HK45/45c)... love it. You won't know you're wearing it.
Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster
Comp-Tac is pleased to offer gear made by Minotaur Holsters, a new company specializing in kydex/leather hybrid holsters. These holsters combine the speed and one-handed reholstering capability of kydex with the comfort of leather.
The Minotaur Holsters' design stems from the occasional complaint from users of concealable Kydex holsters. Some lifestyles are not conducive to wearing an undershirt, and some wearers find Kydex against the skin too "user-hostile". The leather backing plate of the Minotaur is two thicknesses of leather to cover the fasteners, but only one thickness at the widest parts of the pistol. The Kydex used on the holster half-body, which covers only the outer half of the pistol, is only .090" thick. The end result is a very comfortable way to "Tame the Beast".
Minotaur Holsters' premier inside-the-waistband holster is the MTAC (Minotaur Tuckable, Adjustable Cant,). This holster utilizes the same kydex clips as seen on the Comp-Tac CTAC holster, which allow you to adjust the cant. With the clips offset from the holster body, the holster disappears when you tuck your shirt between the holster and your pants.
The "Slide" version allows you to use one holster for similar guns of different lengths (such as Glock 9mm, .40, and .357's). The Slide is typically slightly longer than the shortest gun of the series, and left open so the excess barrel length on longer guns can "slide" through the end of the holster. A "Full-Coverage" version can be ordered by selecting your specific gun model.
Also, the kydex half-bodies (made by Comp-Tac) are interchangeable, so you can order additional holster half-bodies to set your holster up for a different gun.Comp-Tac is currently the only authorized dealer for Minotaur Holsters. We can answer any questions regarding products made by Minotaur Holsters. We also extend our one-year warranty to any Minotaur Holsters product purchased from us. However, due to the cosmetic vulnerability of leather, we reserve the right to apply a 20% restocking fee on any returns of Minotaur holsters, at our discretion.
Standard Clips are available in black, chestnut, brown, and khaki, and C-Clips are available in black or chestnut. Standard Clips and C-clips are both belt-size specific. Velcro clips, because they are hidden behind the belt, are only available in black and are one-size fits all. For more information on the clips, please see the Mounting Options page.Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster

While we're talking guns here I figured I'd toss in a quick Q. I've never really been a pistol guy. Have many guns but mostly rifles and shotguns. When it comes to ammo how much does it really matter for pistols? Are you mostly worried about a miss-fire or are there actual accuracy considerations? Seems like with such a short barrel accuracy wouldn't be the issue. I dig through my hunting catalogs and see the buckets of 9mm and 40 cal bullets for sale and wonder what I'd be getting.

Lastly, the tolerance for quite a few stock production handguns is around an inch at 25 yards, thats with match ammo. Factory new Remington, Federal and Winchester probably shoots 1.5 (I'm guessing) but the average shooter would have a difficult time with even a consistent headshot at that distance.
Hope that helps

It does. I'd NEVER shoot a reloaded shotgun shell but a pistol is such a different animal. The one's I've seen are not reloads just bulk buys. I know people will say, "I've been reloading shotty shells for years" but I've personally seen far too many mishaps. Thanks for the info.

If I may make a suggestion, consider installing the Variant 1 trigger return spring and hammer return spring. That stock TSA modified LEM trigger is terrible on the range. The new springs will make it a LEM Light and you'll love that trigger.

The larger calibers you are talking about are all centerfire cartridges which are very reliable. If you venture down to a .22 or .25 they are rimfire and, due to the rimfire design, will have more misfires.
This is for training ammo only--for personal protection everyone strongly agreed that a good brand hollow point was the ONLY type of round to have in your gun. At that point the discussion changes to the "stopping power" of the round, quantified by bullet weight and round velocity. Obviously more grains going faster is better--to a point, too fast and you get overpenatration and underexpansion of the round.
Accuracy is a factor, however most personal defense situations where a handgun would be used are at short distances. The slight differences between good personal defense ammo are negligible. More importantly is the caliber the shooter can handle. Better to shoot a 9mm and put 5 rounds on target than to shoot a .45 and miss.
