You might want toread the above before you try SOB carry.

Might try Eric at HBE since a Baby Eagle is "sorta" like a CZ
(isn't it?) I mean, it's only got a different dust cover, trigger guard, safety, etc... but if anyone can do it...

If you insist on using SOB, I'd strongly suggest using that spot for your BUG instead of your main.

I understand the "dangers" of a SOB...
I have been doing it for years, never had a problem.
I drive for a living and this is the MOST comfotable means of carry for me.
I also carry a 1911 in the same fashion, along with a glock from time to time.
I thank you for the concern.
on a similar note is the BE similar in size to a CZ75? Should I look at a CZ holster instead?

Eric at HBE will make one. The man is an evil leather genius. He can make anything, and I'm pretty sure he has a baby eagle mold already.

But a quick question, have you ever tried SOB carry? It does have some serious downsides.

1. I don't know about you, but during my daily activities, I sometimes sit in a chair. :) Having a gun at the base of your spine, poking you, isn't fun. I also sometimes drive, in a car. Same thing. It gets real uncomfortable real quick.

2. Where I live it is winter for about 10 months a year. I've slipped on ice a few times. I don't want to land on my gun that is poking me in the spine.

3. If you bend over, it prints bad. A lot worse than strong side hip carry.

4. The draw speed is slow. Slower than strong side by far. You have to reach further around, and bring the gun back further, all while being almost impossible to not cover something that you don't want to with your muzzle.

5. Should you need to defend your gun from being snatched, it is almost impossible to defend a SOB holster from somebody trying to take it from you. You have zero strength in your arms when they are twisted that far back. Strong side lets you clamp down on it and keep fighting.

Sorry, if you like the SOB, more power to you. But that is one holster type that I don't recommend to my students.

EDIT: Sorry, we posted at the same time. If it works for you, go for it. But how in the world can you drive with that thing on? How do you draw in case of a car jacking?

Correia,
I only weigh in at 155 lbs, I cant even feel the sidearm while driving.

If a snatch does try to happen, a spinning elbow to the jaw is fairly quick :D
( my buddy almost found out how fast I am at this, as he tried to "fool" around one day)

due to my physic, the SOB never prints, and for the most part I have trained myself to squat rather than bend, which is better for the back anyway.

I may have just joined this site , but NOT the gun life :D

Gotcha Outsider. I would call Eric at HBE. He does awesome custom holsters at good prices.

See, I'm a big dude, SOB kills me. :p Different strokes for different folks.
