I’ve got a couple Azula leather holsters. One is a OWB for my Ruger Vaquero and the other is a IWB for my S&W 66-2. I’ve been very pleased with both so far. Nice video…
I got an Azula holster on Amazon for my EEA windicator and the thing is supper comfortable. The Windicator is a big stubby revolver and I hardly notice it on appendix and it conceals incredibly. Great holster that I'm thinking of getting one for my Glock 45... BTW, I love the 👏 section of your video
I love the azula holsters. Mine were made in South africa. I bought the black pancake outside the waistband holster for my stub nose .357 revolver. It was around $50.00 and even though it's a pancake holster it isn't too bulky. It is hip hugging with my revolver and fits the firearm perfectly. It's made from very thick leather and is formed and double stitched. I bought another one for my g2c 9 mm. It's so much more comfortable than the expensive kydex holster I bought for it and it actually fits my hips better and I can conceal it much better than the hard plastic holster. I will not buy any other holsters now.
Leather is the only way to go. I did buy a Garrett industries OWB STX with straps & snaps for a S&W 66-2 ,2.5” .it’s a premium kydex (& there is different grades of kydex…who knew.!?.)lined with Herman oak leather. (not stx 2.0)
I had to replace the original rubber pachmyer grips. Felt good in hand ,but Rubber was breaking down from cleaning solvents ect. Black sticky mess getting on everything. Went with VZ 320 smooth G10 grips(black & red =kind of classic wood look so figured modern/classic holster would be a good choice. That with a nylon kore belt works really well together. All year round with a untucked shirt of any kind. Also have LOK red & black thin checkered on a beretta 81.has a classic look to it too. The measurements of the thin LOK’s didn’t look like much difference in print on website but in hand…a world of difference!much better. I carried that beretta yesterday as a matter of fact.all day & it was a loooong one with a bunch (more than usual)of moving,in & Out of the truck,walking,bending over ect. I noticed a little bit of rubbing on bare skin for the 1st time. Might lightly sand the checkered grips .?.Yesterday was one of those days you are glad you have a gun. I went to check on a friend. He lives way out in the country, has no cell phone reception for some reason, he’s an older guy,been a tad sick lately & suffers from chronic migraines. Almost every day. I worry about him and can’t get him on the phone. When I don’t hear from him when he’s out walking his dogs and he has reception, no choice but to make the drive out there. He has dogs. Haven’t been over there in a while. Had a litter of puppies that are big now. One out of the 8-10 dogs would not stop. Even after my friend came out and we were walking. She had the hair on her back standing up. Let her sniff my hand and all that. I’m not sure why but at one point my friend went inside his house to do something and that dog started acting weird again. I didn’t shoot the dog but needed to scare it away. Shot into the ground in front of it. I’m glad that’s all I had to do. Happened twice. I live in a rural area also. Everyone in my area is very responsible with their animals. No stray dogs around. Occasionally one will pass through. There are other large wild animals. You name it, we’ve got it. So even without any scenarios of self-defense from humans,I carry A gun every day all day and have needed it multiple times in the 12 years Iv lived here. It is dark in the mornings when I walk my daughter to the bus at the end of the driveway. It’s a 200 feet walk with curves. Had a fox and a raccoon that both had rabies. The raccoon was staggering around in the middle of the day. It was suffering. Not a threat necessarily. The fox, a different situation . That was also in daylight. Once a bobcat was sitting about 15 feet above the ground where a fallen tree was leaning against a standing tree. There was some vines there too. I noticed the bobcat at the very last moment. It moved just a little bit and it caught my eye. My girl was in kindergarten Maybe first grade with very long blonde hair . Had I not been behind her, I have no doubt in my mind that cat would have jumped on her. It almost did it anyway. That was 3:15 in the afternoon on a fall day. I don’t know if that is normal bobcat behavior for daylight hours or not. But he had to go. Normally I would not harm an animal of any kind. But something like that it’s a different situation. The bus pick up drop off gun is many times just a 22LR LCP II. In a pocket holster. Mini mags. I got a good one. I shot over a brick of older mini mags (I was wondering about ammo’s reliability because of the age + needed to break the gun in .. test it out) other than one stove pipe on the second round of second mag(bought a package of two extras mags for a total of four), no problems with the gun at all . After about 600 rounds the build up started taking it’s toll . Understandable. But this is a holster video. I’m looking for something for a P365 XL. I don’t know which way I’m going yet. I was thinking rough out leather maybe.?. I love The convenience of straps and snaps on that GI STX OWB holster for 66 snub. The Beretta cheetah is the only gun I’ve ever carried IWB and not been irritated with it constantly & The 365 XL is just about the same footprint but thinner. The 81 is in a holster made by El Paso salary. Stamped government 45. used a tiny drillbit and two large needles and some nylon kite string to reshape the holster to fit the 81. Sewed a slight cant into it and rounded the muzzle end and stitched it up. Used a saddle stitch. Learned it on RU-vid and got the hundred dollar plus holster for five bucks out of a bargain bin. Apologies for the novel,get carried away about this holster thing and then go on all sorts of tangents. looking at a all leather paddle holster made by Azula. Popped up as a recommendation on eBay. $49.Figured I might give one a try. Quick! Even quicker than the straps and snaps. if it doesn’t conceal like they claim it does I’m thinking I can still use it as a bus stop gun.Check out R.grizzle leather works. Georgia. GS2. Getting a Kimber K6S. And I think I’m gonna get that holster. It will take a while but that’s OK. You mentioned a snubnose 357 and got all this. A year after the fact. The joys of RU-vid and the Internet. Made in Africa and North Carolina.?. That is different. I reside in North Carolina. Will be checking that out. One last thing. The LCP II was all good. The gun and all four mags , thoroughly tested right out of the box without cleaning or lube or anything. I was looking for a revolver when I came across it. I really like the gun. The accuracy was a pleasant surprise. Not the best sites in the world but not the worst. One thing about it, magazine disconnect. That had to go. Replaced the trigger, guide rod, heavy duty takedown pin , Spring kit. Normally don’t do stuff like that but the trigger replacement got rid of the magazine disconnect. The Ruger was manufactured in North Carolina and the trigger maker is in North Carolina. Trigger was named “SIGAURD”. I believe that’s how it’s bailed. I can’t think of the company right now but they redesign the geometry of the trigger and it’s made out of aluminum. They have anodized red and black I asked for a unanodized one. The owner of that company referred to it as “RAW” and said they offer them that way sometimes. At the time it was not on the website. Might be now. The trigger came unassembled. I had an issue assembling it and damaged the roll pin. Put it together backwards. The safety blade. Boogerd it up good. Now that I’ve straighten that out it’s good. Needs to be tested for a few hundred more rounds but that’s OK.ENOUGH. Take care THE END!
@@barrygoldwater2441 Actually things were looking bad and no guns were available so I bought it from a coin store. It is super easy to conceal carry and fires 357's and 38's so I figured why not?
