It hasn't been made yet, I am making/designing it this week.

When I had a 1911 and carried it many moons ago

Nick Mathews is the one who made them for me, he was based out of Texas last time I needed his services.

I would probably go to kcinnick and let him custom shape one to your needs and wants with whatever materials you want, this way is YOURS 100% and not something somebody else liked

Just make sure you reinforce the mouth so that it keeps its shape for re-holstering with 1 hand

I can reinforce the mouth, but I make a stiff holster by design. I will see how Dave's holster comes out this week and show you what can be done. He says he is bringing his pistol by tomorrow for me to start on it. My personal holster is going to not have a reinforcement. I haven't decided what I am doing with spanky's yet... depends on how stiff I can get the black strap leather I have if I reinforce or not.

I have made something similar, but I imagine that style more for smaller pistols, like the baby 9's and other small pistols (PF9, LC9, etc.) I like the wide attachment points for larger pistols. But I am not where as near as experienced as Nomad in actually carrying and using pistols, but I still feel spreading out the attachment points on heavier pistols makes for a more comfortable carry.

Last time I ordered from them it took 22 weeks.

I believe it was my 3rd order and I'm sure I will do so again.


Up to you.

There's a reason for that,......and it ain't cause they're cheap.

You can get a Galco Royal Guard in stock at alot of places on the internet. Its made the exact same way, and they both suck.

I've been using a Kramer IWB #2 (horsehide) for about 10 years with a lightweight Commander, can't complain.
