Been getting emails and messages here and elsewhere about some lefty stuff and new models we don't currently support.

Thus far we're gonna be doing the G17 IWB/AIWB for sure in left handed. Also adding G19 length for right handed folks. The G43 and Shield are coming this week in right handed, dual attachment and lefty will follow soon after.


A mag pouch that plays well with a Clinch Pick is also in the works. They exist but they'll be orderable shortly.

Tom, if you ever decide to build an L frame which would accommodate a 3" S&W 686+ I'd be interested.

I already know it can be carried AIWB because I have done so with a leather Triple K #314 and it's really not bad at all to carry in that manner...surprisingly enough.

As a lefty, I'm glad to hear the G17 AIWB is a go.
I'd love to see the same built to accommodate a WML, but I realize that's pretty far down the path of catering to a niche market. There's probably not a lot of business sense in it, but still...

We still need to arrange a weekend to press off the list Trajan presented.

Shouldn't be too far off. I need to arrange hands on with a live gun to test fit.

WML's are tricky. Poke around enough and you'll see very few folks carrying WML's, even those who've purchased the latest and greatest design. Among a few groups it's common to see folks give a good holster more than a fair shake but months later they're back to a G19 without a light. Busting my ass to make someone's next "old" holster when there's still room to make someone's next holster they'll use for years on end is a tough call for me. Lots of folks do wind up using the WML holsters but it seems that they're well in the minority.

I do have a few features that have been shown to work well, it's just a matter of machine time and priority.

That makes a lot of sense. I get that the investment of resources to satisfy a statistically tiny group of potential customers (AIWB, WML- not to mention left handed) is a tough sell. That being said...

I do have a few features that have been shown to work well, it's just a matter of machine time and priority.

If you find yourself with the manufacturing capacity for a small run or a one off production- I'm a willing guinea pig.

To do a proper WML AIWB it'll need to be CNC. It is on the list, even if people decide they suck and I never sell one I am still making one. Got too much time tied up in T&E'ing little features to not finish it.

Tom, I'm not sure this counts as a new model request, more a different style.

As you know I have your current model AIWB/IWB holster for a Glock 17. As you may not know, I'm 20lbs more than I want to be. I'm working on changing that but it's not going as quickly as I'd like. It's true that being overweight is more likely to get me killed on the streets than most other things...

Have you thought of doing a holster similar to the JMCK Wing Claw 2?

I have a funny feeling you'll say "just buy the Wing Claw 2", which I will and is honest of you. Which is a good reason to want to buy your version.

It's where the attachments mount, towards the edges of the holster away from the thickest part, the slide. Reduces the overall thickness of the holster and hopefully helps for those of us wearing 36" pants.

Dark Star Gear
02-27-2017, 01:18 PM
That moves only the front loop though. In the interest of keeping RMR compatibility the front loop is where it is. We have made some tweaks on position to balance holster stability and loop printing though. Ultimately with the attachments we use I'm not sure that position is needed. It helps a little with the RCS clips in some cases but depending on how the claw works for the user, and their size/shape/etc the attachment may print the same there as well.


It's really all just a balance with some subjectivity worked in, in our case the attachments haven't forced that position to be needed, if that makes sense.

It does make sense, yes.

I'm still playing with the holster, trying to make as best a guess as I can on ways to wear it to make it comfortable/accessible. I'll try one of the JMCK to compare, just as you said, I will end up with a box of holsters!

If suggestions are being taken, I wanted to mention one "outside the box".

Not being rail thin, I've struggled with A/IWB holsters ever since I started carrying. My solution ended up being a high-riding, OWB leather holster by Mitch Rosen.

For my short-barrel, G26-sized subcompact, it works fantastically well. I get a holster I can conceal in a XL T shirt or polo, the neutral cant OWB constructions means I have a fairly smooth run of my belt with more contact area on my pants, which reduces needed belt tension as well as slipping. The position just forward of strong side hide near the inguinal crease is comfortable standing, sitting or driving.

With fixed loops, I don't have to fiddle with clips or thread PTD loops. Just thread the open tail of the belt through and buckle. It also works well when nature calls, which is a worthwhile feature.

My only concern is the longevity of the unreinforced leather mouth for repeated draws. Say for a class, or in competition. As in, one holster to use for carry as well as gaming.

Just a suggestion, but this approach has worked so well for me that I think a Kydex version of this design approach (OWB, high riding, neutral cant) in compact and subcompact pistols (e.g. G19, G26) would be worth considering in future plans. Especially for the aging geezer market segment looking for more comfort. :cool:

Things have just become accelerated. If you absolutely needed a holster within a set time frame JM is the way to roll but we're on it.

Not yet. It's really just a trim pouch that sits deep enough and doesn't interfere with the CP.

[i]MR OWB leather holster showing neutral cant and high-riding construction.

I'll have to look but I think our current OWB's can be set close to that height. What we lean towards is a slightly lower than average pancake that is narrow and fits tight but we've got some versatility in loops and spacing.

I would be concerned that at some point a belt-holster-gun combo that short might start to roll outward a little.

Thanks Tom. I'll look at the DSG web site and see if it looks like it might be suitable. The max depth "below" the line of the belt of the MR UL is around 1".

Reference rolling outward, I've found Melody Lauer's Appendix Hack of a size M ladies Dr. Scholl Gel pad to be just the solution for me:

My body disagrees with AIWB carry. Things are fine when standing, but when sitting the combination of the butt riding up to overlay my ribs plus a situationally gibbous abdomen pushes the butt out and causes printing. The root cause, I think, is the idea that the pistol must ride high enough to get a firing grip before the draw.

How hard would it be to develop an AIWB holster that rides low enough that the butt lies behind and is restrained by the waistband / belt? Would probably require a slower pinch-grip to draw so it may not interest those in permissive environments, but -- who knows -- the California / New York / Maryland, etc contingent might be drawn to it.

Trying to get Sig to offer some support so we can envelope all 226 variants.

I'm dense, what do you mean by Sig offering some support?

Depending on how they've got things set up they likely have some of the 226 variants modeled in a CAD software package. That information, enveloped among the many variants, will allow us to produce a holster that can potentially work with a wider range of Sig's. As it stands they may be limiting. The Mk25 is a decent envelope to work with but now and again there is one that won't fit. It makes life difficult to offer a repeatable fit.

If it helps, could there be some value if I were able to send you both a non railed P226 and a ~2005 produced P226R with a curved non-1913 rail to test for measurements?

If it is native to a P226R, it'll normally fit a Mk25 with loosening of the retention screws.

P229/P228 variants? Yeah, that's a shit show to get things to fit.

I'd be interested in a Mk25 AIWB holster. I love mine for my G17, I just don't love my G17...

G17+XC1B?Any idea if/when this might happen?

I'm going back and forth on trying the XC1-B or the be TLR-7 and that would probably sway my decision.

Might have the first final shells pressed this weekend.

Awesome! I'll go ahead and order the light.

Are these going to be up on the site or will we need to email you to order them initially?

Not not muddy the waters but we will have them as a combo deal sitting around $330-340.

Are you going to offer a holster in Glock 19 length also or just 17 length?

Immediately it will be 17 length. Immediately we would be able to do an open cut to 19 length, or flush with the light, but in all of the sampling done the light is the issue more so than the slide length and erring on the side of more models is how we chose.

17 length shouldn't be an issue since that's what I'm using now anyways. If for some reason it is, can it be trimmed to an open cut at a later time or does that have to be done initially?

I ended up trading for an XC1-B last night so I'm pretty stoked to pick one of these holsters up.

Trimming down will be easy after it's made, either on your own with some guidance on tools or sending it in.

Left Handed G43 Hitchhikers are ready! Email for an order if they're not on the page, we'll send an invoice. $20 off new model still applies.

Depending on the exact holster configuration we may be able to accommodate this now.

Yup. Just got our light last week. Working through the small light Rigel mold now for the XC1B and once that's tweaked to satisfaction we'll get to the TLR-7.

Any chance you could do a 3" K frame AIWB? I carry a S&W 65 3" quite often.

"We support the Sig P226R and a few variants but will need to discuss the nuances of the model you have."

This doesn't mean an Orion for the P226R right? I would be lying if I said I haven't been considering on starting to carry my P226.

I'd be interested in this as well. Right now it's a no-rail, but I do keep my eyes open for a rail version locally at the right price.

Still kinda on the fence. We sent out a few models that worked with a Mk25 and had customers report issues. I've not had a chance to talk with a friend who has laser scans of a library of Sig 226's yet to see where something might be missed but it's in the works.

Are you currently able to cover the 5" m&p's? I'd be interested in a 5" orion for an upcoming 2.0 purchase.

Not yet but that's one we can mod our mold files for and set it up.

Great! I'll be first in line when they're ready. If you need an order first let me know.

Just checking if you have any plans to add the Beretta APX to your IWB line?

Thanks

I swear I'll send you an APX tomorrow if you want one. I have...several.
