Recently took delivery of a 5 Shot Leather (John Ralston) holster & belt combo.

I have had one of John's IBS (Inside Burton Scabbard ) Holsters for a couple years ( for a Colt Commander ). Picking it up from him at SHOT Show a few years ago , I was very impressed with both him & his work , I soon got on his list for a belt.

This time I decided on a UL Holster (Uncle Lou) and a basic black belt. After wearing it for 8 days now , this is the most comfortable set-up I have worn.
A properly designed and executed belt/holster combo will make you not even feel like you are wearing a sidearm.
Standing , sitting , walking , sleeping , it doesn't even feel like it is there.
Fit is nice and snug , it doesn't shift at all , and the draw is smooth as is re-holstering.

Great job John , your work is second to none , and it got the smile of approval from my subgun instructor , who was a personal friend of Lou's ( retired Rochester PD ).

Think I am going to need a matching mag pouch soon , that Safariland just looks out of place. :evil:

If you carry concealed , seriously consider John's work if you want to make carrying concealed comfortably a breeze. :rockin:

Thanks again John. :cool:

+1 John's (5 Shot Leather) craftmanship is top of the line in both aesthetics and functionality.

Shiny!
Pretty!

I'll keep that shop in mind for OWB needs, should they arise.

If you dont mind me asking an off thread topic question:

Can you please explain that unique muzzle on your Commander?

The commander is stock , perhaps you are referring to the 1991a1 Compact ( the duo-tone ) ? If so , that is a Kings Big Bushing and a custom made reverse plug and guide rod..

only pict I could find of the business end of it , will find a clearer one:
