Don't buy a PagerPal holster

Not ethical people

I ordered a pager pal Dec. 15 2006 from their website. Paid for it with a visa debit card ($65.95). They debited my account on Dec. 18th. At the time I ordered it, they indicated that they had over 4000 in stock. Today is Jan 4 2007. Still no holster. They don't answer their phone. They won't return messages left on their answering machine. And won't respond to emails. I advised them on the 28th to credit my bank account via email and voice mail. They haven't responded.
Beware of these people.

Not that I ever would have, but I will not buy one.

check out smartcarry. A MUCH better option

pagerpal

Wow,
Sure wish i had read this back in november. Have had the same issues with lack of customer service. I ordered one with a holder for my cell instead of a pager, back on 11/16/06. Still no holster. Did finally recieve a reply via email telling me it shipped 11/16/06 and should be here. After pointing out that i ordered it 2 days after they say it shipped i have not heard back from them.

Since i am also new to ccw and have yet to find a good holster can someone recomend a brand of IWB hoslter?
Thanks and stay away from pagerpal

Great holsters and pretty, too.

bobjax - make sure you contest the charge.

if a company is running a scam and enough people contest their charges, at some point they get in trouble with the credit card banks . . . .

The security of using a credit card also means that you don't have to pay for something you did not receive.

I like mine

I certainly can't speak to the experience of others, but I really like the Pager Pal. I've been carrying my Walther PPK/S in one for five years or so. It's not perfect-is there a perfect ccw holster?-sometimes it's uncomfortable when sitting, sometimes my shirt gets wrapped over the gun and I have to deal with it (looks like I'm merely tucking in my shirt), and with certain pleated trousers the paddle prints through (but not the gun!). On balance, though, it's the most useful holster I own. I use it with a cell phone holder. I practice draws with it regularly, and find it only a tad bit slower than the iwb holster I used to use. Granted, a "tad bit" could conceivably be the difference between life & death, but a quick draw is useless if you can't wear the holster with certain outfits or if the gun shows and gets you into hot water!

sell or give?

If anyone here has a PagerPal that they would like to sell or give me (I will pay for shipping), then please let me know. I would need a large, preferably in black. Just message me through this forum. Thanks.

Pagerpal - NOT!

I considered getting a couple of them but after your experience with them, they can keep them all. They won't be getting any of my money. Thank you for the information.

I tried a Pager Pal for a short time myself. I won it in a karma giveaway. The fake pager would have been easy to break alright, and I had heard many reports of it happening before. My main gripe was that my belt, even when worn loose, would lock the holster into my pants, making a fast presentation an impossibility. I could never find a method of carrying it that it was useable.

I have new one (worn twice for an hour or two both times). It worked well for me but I carry a 1911 in a galco high ride now. It did take about 3 weeks to receive it (I live 3 hours from there shop) after my card was charged and I had to call and go ape poop to get it then. I thought the same thing about their customer service.

All that being said, someone can have this one for $50 shipped (paid 66 I think). Its the large, black, and has the pager. I could have said it was new and no one would have know is in such good shape. Works great for me and is very good quality leather and stitching as far as I'm concerned.

pagerpal is not reliable!

purchased a conceal wallet holster from their web site.
the order I placed sent error message saying theorder was not placed/resubmitted and again got the same message. When I checked next day it showed both orders had been accepted/I tried to notify several times via email and phone to no avail/to make a long story short I got two holsters/one nice quality leather the other very flimsy/don't do business with them YOU WILL BE SORRY

Hmm, I thought about one of these but I won't be going anywhere near them after hearing about this.

I checked out their website for the holster you mention. Looks like vinyl. The stitching looks rough, almost handsewn.

I bought a similar holster from these people (this is probably the guy who design Pagerpal ripped off - and he's less expensive too ): http://artofthehide.com/index.html

The Art of the Hide holster I have is very nice. I do notice from browsing their website that they no longer make one for the gun I have, an NAA Guardian. There's also a local (to me) guy who makes something similar.

Smart Carry

I have heard to many negatives regarding PagerPal holsters. I had friend who had bad experiences as well.

I decided on a Smart Carry. This is the best holster I have ever tried.

I simply fastens around your body, below your hips. You put your underwear on, then the Smart Carry, then your pants.

I've had it for over a year now and was worried about quality, since it's made of denim. It has held up quite well so far. It doesn't let moisture from sweat reach my pistol. It still allows quite a bit of movement.

I wear pretty tight jeans most of the time and people don't know I'm carrying at all. I just turn the holster a bit to the right (I'm right handed) so that the pistol is resting over the inside of my thigh. This is a more natural position than front-and-center.

I do see myself buying another one later this year because this one will probably wear out. Like I said, I wear tight jeans--plus I do a lot of moving around, so this has given my Smart Carry a lot of abuse. I see it lasting until the 1 1/2 year mark... yours will probably go longer.

I hope this helps someone out.

Ditto on that - POS.

You don’t see many pagers these days, maybe bellbottoms and an ankle holster would be more with the times.

PagerPal

I ordered one of these holsters on line April 11 and paid for it with my credit card. The charge was posted on my account on the 14th. Since then, the web site seems to be gone and the phone number is no longer in service. Beware!

bad costomer support, get's no money from me.
