Yaqui-Style Open-Snout Holsters

Yaqui Slide

The Galco Yagui is my wife's favorite piece of leather, outside of her rabbit-fur-lined leather jacket.

The Yaqui is one of the few that didn't poke her in the ribs when stuffed with her Springer Ultra-Compact. She shoots IDPA with it.

Hey! If any of you holster makers are out there, my wife is a gal, and in case you didn't know, gals are put together different from us guys.

Just thought you should know, since I've spent considerable time with my wife trying out holsters & the Yaqui was the only passable model. We'd both prefer she got a more concealable holster, but we haven't found one yet.

Anyway, the Yaqui works well for her.

jfruser, Heinie has a holster, especially for women. It's made by Alessi, so you know it's good. I have a DOJ 700/S. Excellent.

If you are concerned about the front sight dragging on the leather, the Mirage from Milt Sparks is made with a sandwiched construction, and features an integral sight channel. It's made to be worn between the belt and the pants, for optimum concealment and security. ditto the remarks about training yourself to sit carefully, to prevent an armrest from launching the gun out of the holster.

This front sight business...
I've NEVER had it hook and snag on a draw.
Never.
