If you aren't carrying tin you might as well forget this idea.
Illinois is probably the worst about their laws pertaining to handguns. I couldn't wait to move out of Cook County and the state.
I pondered how to CC in IL and found the same loophole but was too afraid of getting jammed up...
No thumb break-
on the IWB holsters I make I use a tension device, that combined with the fact that your pants and belt are putting tension on the holster I have not had an issue.
I prefer open top holsters in general for speed and simplicity and only have used thumb breaks on duty holsters.
Nobody else does it, so I figured why not....
Those of us that run one man shops obviously don't have the marketing horsepower that the bigger guys have.
I have decided to try a "Gun of the Month" program,
each month I select a different one and offer a holster or holsters with special pricing and package deals.
December is the 1911
If this proves to be a good thing I will add more deals to each month.
Jan 07 Sig 220/226
What do you...
I have looked at several of the NSW 226 pistols and they were nice fit and finish.
I prefer my 17 year old 226, it's broken in and I trust it, never have had a malfunction that wasn't mag or ammo related.

Sig 226, a spare 17rd mag, my Kershaw Blackout knife, holster varies according to what prototype I am field testing.
Mostly OWB in pancake type holsters, but occasionally IWB.
I carry all day everyday.
Up until a year and 1/2 ago I carried a 5" 1911 OWB with an officers model as IWB BUG...
I carried a 1911 Gov't for about 2 years full time, I have since transitioned to the Sig 226 and carry it except when I am sleeping.
Full size guns are a little uncomfortable at times but the trade off in firepower, accuracy and capacity to me are worth it.
I carry in South East Texas year...
Gonna have to do it the old fashioned way, like the rest of us.
For a 1911 here is what I do.
1. trace around the pistol onto so heavy paper.
2. draw the shape of the holster over the pistol outline.
3. cut out the paper pattern, use tape and carefully test fit it.
4. make any...
Another reason I moved out of the "Land of Cheese" and came home to Texas, I can carry with few exceptions.
Doyle is an idiot, and I doubt you will ever get CCW passed simply because even the bill sponsors turn coward and won't back a veto override attempt.
I love the Northwoods alot...
pepper spray doesn't work on everyone, I have been exposed enough to it that it doesn't bother me anymore.
So pepper spray in some cases will just get the perp more angry especially psychotics and drug abusers.
here a couple of pieces that I made this last week.
One is a redesigned Evolution in crossdraw shown with the XD 4" and another is a new pancake shown with the G17.
And a set for a Sig 239.
Prototype pics
Here are some pics of the "rough" prototype holster for the 1911 (I think that the 1911 was appropriate for the first attempt of this holster).
Here are some examples of actual customer gear.
There are a ton of options, it really depends on what mode you wish to carry in (IWB inside the waistband) or (OWB outside the waistband).
Decide what mode and how much concealment you need and go from there.
There are several good companies that tend to stock items such as www.usgalco.com...
I am making 5 sets to honor the Corps.
each set will be gunbelt, holster, mag carrier all will have the EGA and USMC on them.
The color will be as near as I can get it to the old WW2 Kabar sheath.
The options will be in the choice of holster IWB Raider or Evolution pancake, and double...
