Lenny, I have your $35 holster for my G48, and I carry it outside at 2 o’clock with a zipped or buttoned jacket long enough to cover it. I’m slim, but inside scares me. Perhaps unnecessarily. But I draw faster from outside.
I got a gut and I carry appendix. With a holster that sits low enough it's not too pokey. And my gut hanging over the gun provides the ultimate concealment. Zero printing ever.
Nice holster. I've carried in a leather holster for 30 years, mostly in a Galco, Sparks or Alessi. Recently I fell into the kydex cult when I got my 43 and 43X. That was a short lived experience. I have now gone back to leather and have never been happier, I spray a little silicone in the holster and let the gun sit in it for a few days before I start breaking it in with multiple draws.
Put the pistol in a plastic sandwich bag and then put the pistol in your leather holster, then leave it there for a few days. You'll be suprised at how well this helps break in the holster. Saw this method on the "world wide web" a long time ago and works great.
I absolutely love leather holsters they might be a little bit more expensive but definitely worth it ❤. Love to see you showing leather holsters some love , from one glock fan boy to another ty.
I prefer OWB but carry IWB more often. And like your buddy, I prefer leather. Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 is my IWB of choice. G26.3, G19.5, and 1911s. I have one of the 1791 holsters for the G19.5 and it works well.
Kydex is a great option for those that like it.. I prefer leather holsters over Kydex everyday all day . Also a hybrid .. crossbreed holster is another excellent option if you like both
Thank you for covering this topic. I have a little beer gut and find a 3 or 4 clock holster the most comfortable. My choice is an El Paso Saddlery combat express. Take a look.
Hay Lenny although off subject you really need to look into your Shipping department, my slide cut took over 3 weeks, I just ordered a mag with x grip and it malfunctioned returned and have not received the replacement yet!!!!! its been 3 weeks. If this continues I don't think I will do business with the GS going forward!
Thumb backing the slide to ensure it stays "in battery", preventing a possible malfunction. Don't be so quick to reholster, there was a justifiable reason you drew your defense tool, visually check for additional threats in a low ready stance. For IWB holsters, remove your empty holster, replace firearm into holster, then tuck and dress as you normally would. Thanks Lenny!
Leather holsters are ok but my favorite holsters keep the entire gun off your body. That is for me what makes a holster comfortable. I prefer N82 holsters for that reason.
I wish I could find a good cheap/inexpensive leather IWB holster for my Canik tp9sf that is lip on for the 3 o'clock position. sorry I don't have any Glocks because cannot afford it. I got my Canik for half that price of a Glock 19 which if I had a Glock that is what I would get unless someone can recommend a similar Glock with the capacity of the 19 that is cheaper and be better. honestly I thinking about a PSA Dagger but i would like a Glock
Petroleum gel is a good choice. I use it on belts, shoes, bags as well as holsters. In addition to giving it a great feel, it replenished moisture that leather will lose over time. I rub in a coat when new and about once a year thereafter.
I used to bring my leather holster in the bathroom while showering on the counter to "steam" it for the first week or so conditioning it twice a day for awhile
To my knowledge, it is not a good idea to purchase some thing you had to wear it out before it fits perfect on concealed firearm. I think more design conceal holster out there.🤔
Line it with wax paper, let it sit over night with the gun in it . Then do what your saying. Makes it a lot easier, funny there such little talk of leather any more ..
Hell no, you can’t put it in the oven to soften it up. You’ll dry it out and harden it I’ve been making leather holsters for 20 years you evidently know nothing about leather.!
My experience with leather holster, soak it in water, wrap the gun up in plastic like a sandwich bag and then put it in the holster and let it sit a couple hours and then work it in and out and in and out and then take the plastic off you’ll see that that will work
Wrong if anything, you use a little neatsfoot oil on the inside of the holster if the holster hasn’t been sealed and then work your gun in and out of the holster and wear it till it breaks in do not soak it in water you’re just taking out the oils, you’re drying out the leather And that’ll just break the leather down!
The BIGGEST thing I DON’T 😡like about belt fed holster, is that I have to put the firearm in the holster after it’s already on me. For that reason, I ALWAYS holster the firearm before I clip the holster to my waist. If for ANY REASON I draw my firearm out of the holster, I will always remove the holster, re-holster the firearm, and place it back on my waist. For whatever reason, yes, I don’t put my firearm in my holster when I’m putting on a belt fed holster. I run the risk of catching clothing or anything really, in the trigger guard, and potentially firing the firearm.
@@BWHeitmann pay attention, look at my emails that I have sent you and have been responded to. Don't play, process teh return, pay for the opostage mistake you made. I am not alone. Trustpilot shows you have incredibley HORRIBLE reputation. I've contacted AMEX and reported Gockstore. You are one step above common thieves.
Howdy, Lenny! So, I've followed your advice and put a Holosun on my Glock17. I'm a retrograde ( carried East-German made Makarov for years) , but after about 500 rd with a red dot( including a few times through a "kill house") I say it's worth it. Thanks a bunch for the info on that. Now, are there holsters like this for Glock17( optics and raised sights)?
