OK enough undie's humor. That's because I can't think of a good joke right now! Look at the VM-2 photo and notice that there is a belt loop right under the handle, as there is on my Wild Bill's holster. When I sweep my hand in to make a fast grab on the butt (almost a joke here) I end up catching my fingers on the snap. Do other people have the same problem with a fast draw on this kind of holster?

Yes, that whole "rear J-hook or clip" thing needs to be re-thought.

If it's a clip, it's bulky or in the way. If it's a HOOK, when you get up out of a chair with a cloth back, you risk "snagging" the hook and ripping it off. That's why you sometimes see a "rear clip, front hook" - it's because they've run into that problem.

Which is why I'm now using a totally different rear..."thing". I don't quite know what to call it yet, but it's SLICK.

It looks a bit like this:

It's just a single strip of .090" kydex, folded twice - once to roll over the edge of the pants, and another "flat fold" forward to jam in UNDER a pants belt loop, while staying behind the belt. It's thus completely stealth, yet as you draw it holds the rear of the holster down by upwards pressure on the belt loop. The one shown is for right-hand use but lefty is no problem either.

I still use a J-hook up front, but this at the back solves all the problems: no bulk, completely invisible, can't snag, and holds the rear of the holster down firmly on draw.

I guess it's gonna be called a "Jim Hook". If anybody else wants to play with the concept, be my guest.

TonerGuy or Mr Longenecker,

I love the idea of a leather holster backing mixed with a kydex holster, just sounds comfortable and functional.

Looks good in the pics also, but you might try getting a female to models the warez from now on:p

Anyway, I would like to see you produce this holster to cover the entire slide of a 5 inch Govt sized 1911. I prefer to cover the entire slide to minimize scratches. But I understand why you cut it short (for all size 1911's).
 
Glockster35, You mean you don't line your jeans with lambs wool cushioning? Guess I'll have to talk to Tucker about your suggestion.

The question is: would we sell more holsters with the change you suggest? Wanna' be the first? :)
 
Tonerguy,

I'll be the first only if I get to have my pic on the webpage and posted all over the internet showing it off...NOT:p

I never looked at the price of the holster to begin with and honestly where I sit in life, right now wouldn't be good for me to make this purchase, as I still have a year before I will be parolled from Spangquintin!

It's a joke fellas!

I am stuck in a gun un-friendly country on Active Duty.
 
Where's Runt?

I think she has pics where she carries about a half dozon guns on her and it doesn't look like she could have anything under her clothes much less a gun!:uhoh: ;)

I haven't got a pic at the moment, but I'll see what I can come up with...

Untill I get the pic, I'll just tell you what I carry and how. I carry a Makarov at about 9:30. I like to carry cross draw for a number of reasons.

#1: I don't know why but it seems more comfortable

#2: Makes it easy to draw while sitting down

#3: Makes it much less difficult to draw with weak hand should my right hand become disabled for any reason.
 
I like this holster. Snapped a few quick pics. In a car I usually push the butt :D a little bit forward to make it comfortable. Or as comfortable as a hunk of metal IWB can be. That's my Browning Hi-Power. Cocked n' locked 15 round mag in.

Aw, Wondernine, you got me so excited by trying to show your BHP, and then all I see are red X's. :(

Oops. Sorry about that got a little delete happy on the FTP yesterday. I'm wearing a fairly tight shirt and yet it still conceals very well. Normally I wear a longer larger shirt.
