As some of you may have noticed, I have began making and selling some pocket holsters for S&W J-Frames. So far they have been fairly well received and i am considering expanding my offerings.

So what I am wondering is, what gun would there be the greatest demand for a reasonably priced($25-30) leather pocket holster?

My biggest constraint will be the price of buying a gun to use for a forming, so I am considering a Kel-tec P3At, but I would be open to other suggestions.

Here are a couple of pictures of my current holsters:

Kel-tec would be nice, so would the Bersa .380 or maybe even a seecamp. You could even try one a little more generic that fits all 3.

NAA Guardian??

I crack up every time that picture gets broken out!:D I hope you're having fun with it.
GunNut, if you make one for the Bersa, it should also fit PPK/PPKS, Sig 232, PA63 and other borderline pocket pistols of that sort. I'm currently using an Uncle Mike's for my 232 and FEG SMC-380 ( PPK clone ), so I'd be interested in leather. What I could really use is a Bond Arms derringer pocket holster that's affordable. Everyone charges heavy for those.

I'd love to see one for a KT P11 or a NAA mini 22wmr!!

[GunNut]

I'm leaning towards either Kel-tec PF-9 or Kel-tec P3AT, does anyone have an opinion of which would be better?

I'd love to pick up a NAA mini in .22wmr too, but there are too many options with the different frames(.22lr & .22wmr) and barrel lengths(1-1/8 & 1-5/8").

I need help to make the right decision, because money is tight and I need to make a fiscally responsible choice.

[Clipper]

There are a ton of P3AT pocket holsters already out there for you to compete against, but few PF-9 offerings, and the prices are only about $20.00 apart for the gun.

[Rustynuts]

I would also try not boning the outside (assuming those are righty holsters). Makes for less printing.

[Buck shot]

I think the PF 9 would be a good choice. I just bought one this week and the dealer only had "one size fits most" to offer. I don't think I will use the one I bought much. I'm happy with the gun but should have put more thought in the holster. Funny what we can waist money on when think there are no choices.

Colt Detective Special and Charter .44. You won't have a ton of competition for those.

[scbair]

KevininPA, I have an AMC .45 double derringer; the Uncle Mike's fabric holster that fits the KelTec/etc. works well for it; just FWIW.

GunNut, I agree with some previous posters; make a "PPK-sized" holster; it doesn't need to be boned specifically to fit the PPK, or the compact Bersa, or the ... well, you get the idea. It'll be more concealible for the user, and easier/more versatile for you as the maker.

Nice lookingpecimens, by the way!

How about for a Kel-Tec P-11? I would love to have one. The Colt DS, Agent, and Cobra models are 6-shot designs that are popular but hard to find a pocket holster for.

[GunNut]

Lately I changed my design to a much better holster that has been very well received.

Here is my new style of S&W J-Frame Holster w/some extras:

My NAA .22wmr 1-5/8" Holster which is also a prototype and finished product is nicer:

If I can find molds, I am leaning towards: Colt Detective Special, Kel-tec P11 & PF-9 and Kahr PM9 next.

I am also working on some OWB and IWB holsters, but need to get caught up first with the pocket holsters.

[Brian Williams]

How about a 3" J Frame???

[HOLYROLLER]

Bersa!!!

[weisse52]

wish I had seen your holster for the NAA mini before I bought whats in my pocket now.

You could also try one and sell what you've got.....:D


I decided today to add molds and thus holsters for a Colt Detective Special and a Kahr PM9.

GunNut,
If you are going to do a KelTec holster might I suggest doing one for the P32/P3AT before their 9mm since there are many more of the .32/.380 pistols around than those in 9mm. Besides, you only need one holster for both the P32 and P3AT since they're the same size.

Bersa 380CC

Model 10 snub.

[GunNut]

Colt Detective Special and Kahr PM9 are next.

More to come later.

[elderboy02]

Make one for the Kel-Tec P11

[NCSUPackman]

What about a Colt Detective Special? I myself just recently started carrying one; upgraded from the 5-shot S&W J-frame. I'm sure there are many people out there who carry this classic.

Mold is on the way and I should be offering holsters for the Colt Detective Special and Kahr PM9 next week.
