I was unimpressed with my sample.Originally Posted by Irelander
Not cheap, but the Bobmacs SN-2 looks to me a great option for leather AIWB.

Bluntly, the craftsmanship was not on par with the price. Molding was minimal and nowhere close to the quality of other makers I have experience with (Kramer, 5-Shot Leather, JRC Leather, etc.). The holster did not stay open with the gun empty despite the reinforced mouth. Retention of the firearm was not acceptable to me (very little drag on the gun) and vigorous movement could dislodge the gun. Ride height was high -- leading to spillover with the short-muzzle J-Frame. The belt loop, advertised at 1.5", was significantly larger -- leading to shifting of the holster.
Well-executed, it would be a good design. Unfortunately, the sum of the above issues -- particularly the loose retention and holster collapse -- made it unacceptable for my use.

I'll try to wake my old partner up so he can mosey over here & contribute, stand by for his scroteisms.
With a small airweight J frame, having a big holster is not a positive. The DSG clip AIWB is the standard for a solid NOE carry system and I wore one through Cecil Burch’s class with zero issues. For leather like....Safariland # 27 is always a favorite for me.

DB, I know it wasn’t for a j-frame but IIRC, you’d procured an SME for one of your K or L framed wheelies. Have you had time to vett it? Any thoughts?
Here I is, I like the Milt Sparks SS with 1 loop because it floats a bit for comfort. Just got back from the range using one for the Kimber R6. Draws were smooth and consistent. Shot a 12 point down snub test from holster making all times efficiently. I liked the Safariland 27 that DB recommended but I just prefer a belt loop. CYA Retro PS. Gonna do better on the points down next time!

Ha...I was just pm'ing you!
Like most great dedicated AIWB leather rigs....it is fat and big. I have been building several J frames lately with frame clips. They can go inside a Safariland 25 pocket holster or be shoved in a waistband using the clip. They also fit some of the DDG AIWB holsters. Gives numerous options while keeping things thin.

Couldn't the J-clip be replaced with a PTD snap?
