Couple of new things in this holster. First Pancake Style holster that I have ever posted. Also some new color. The base color is "walnut". Have been wanting another light brown color with less red in it than the Brandy color. The Air brushed accents are a darker brown. This Holster is for a Glock 19/23 and is for sale at 50.00

A slider for a sig 938 in black

A slider for a 1911 in black

An Avenger for a 1911 3 inch barrel. This one has a very aggressive cant which kicks the butt upward which is good for concealment. This holster is for sale as well, 45.00. It is coffee with black accent. comes out almost with a purple tint when in the light just right.

Introducing the "BUBBA J" A holster built specifically for putting between the seat of your vehicle. This one is "rough out" for an XDS

Another "BUBBA J" for a 1911 full size

Couple others on the bench and several more to start.

The Best "first" holster / What's On The Bench

A recent conversation with a friend stirs up the Title of this entry.

This friend is a new conceal carry permit holder and as such, has all the same questions, and uncertainties that every one has in the first days of concealing a firearm on ones person. This friend has one of my "Omni" holsters and so many of the things he has done reminds me of the first days myself. The ever present anxiety "I think it shows" "there is a bulge" "is that guy eying my gun" ect.

In a recent conversation he told me that he had been carrying at about 10:00-11:00 position (one of those lefties) but decided to try it at 1:00-2:00, kind of at a cross draw for a lefty. There had also been a try at 8:00-9:00 on the hip and even an experiment at 6:00 just to see what it was like. He asked if it would work outside the pants as well? Yes inside the belt, outside of the pants will work "in a pinch".

This made me begin thinking how many holsters most people have to order, in order to try so many positions. How many holsters has the experienced person had, in order to experiment with different positions?

A single clip holster is not for everyone. Explanation. An Omni IS the best "first" holster for everyone. Forty bucks for a holster to wear for the first year. It takes that long to experiment and experience the different ways to carry and the the different ways to carry at different times and occasions.

In my first year of carrying a firearm I made several different holsters, trying to figure out how I wanted to carry the gun. Today and every day I carry an Omni and carry in any position I want.
