Anybody Seen This Holster
 

This holster looks very interesting for those who do not like to wear their shirts out and does not want anything showing like snaps.

Has anybody seen this and what your thoughts were.

Thanks,

I did find one review on this that was favorable.

Definitely not for me, I do not like plastic next to my 1911!!:)

Like I said in another post, I will stick with my COTEP holster from Lane!!

None better in my opinion!!!:)

Full size 1911! (5")

Im wearing one of Lane's right now. But every good business owner needs to keep his eye on the competition.:D

I'll put in my 2 cents...I agree I only use leather on a 1911, just my deal, I do have a blackhawk retention holster for my glock though and like it...but its probably not a tight fit like the one mentioned...I think I would pass, I wear a fullsize all the time when I carry...no issues....

I agree, but that hunk of junk is no way a threat to Lane!!!:D:D

Just my opinion!!:D

I appreciate the loyalty... but I'm always interested in other ideas that come up. This one is interesting in the fact that it's truly a concealed, tuckable. NOTHING shows.

It would be interesting to try to see how comfortable it is - I'd think that with a heavier gun - say a CBOB with 8+1, you'd have to cinch it up tight to keep it in place - possibly uncomfortably tight.

I wonder if you could add some suspenders to it to help carry the weight...

Lane

hmmmm.... if the belly band (waist cinch) were about 8" wide... I COULD lose about 5" of my 55 year old belly in an INSTANT! Then Mrs would be looking at me differently... then I would feel desirable, then... Oh Heck... YOU don't want to know where this is going! LOL!!!!

Like Lane says... its an interesting take on a good (crossbreed) design. They say that copying is the best form of Flattery. Well..... When Galco, Bianchi and Blackhawk start copying Crossbreed.... I'd say Chris had a good idea. I hope this designer makes some bucks on his creation.

I don't see any reason that someone (Lane, for example) couldn't do a similar holster with all leather holster plus a velcro strap thingy. On the other hand, it wouldn't be too hard to just find/make a belt to wear your OWB next to your skin under your shirt and pants.

I too am a fan of leather holsters. I prefer the OWB styles, not feeling comfortable with the IWB styles. Never really liked the Kydex, except maybe for a few knife designs.

Thanks Noel for posting this up. I added that very holster to my bookmarks a couple weeks ago. My plan was to buy it and see if I could talk Lane into replacing or lining that Kydex bit for me as I want to keep it leather on the business side of the houlster.

Lane, you maybe willing to take on such a project? I'd be willing to have this houlster shipped to you. And after you get a look, decide on making the design in leather, or hybridizing it with leather business bits for the VBob Cradle.

Dred

You are reading my mind.:)

As I look at it, it appears that the Kydex piece is riveted in place. I'm not sure I could line it or replace it without drilling out the rivets - which might damage the rest of the piece. I don't like doing that with someone else's $80 investment.

I wonder if a removable "pocket" would be a good idea - give you the ability to pop the belt piece in the laundry.

This is an interesting idea... let me puzzle on it a bit...

Lane

Dred - as I've pondered how to do this, I think we could pull this off. If you're still interested, PM me. I'd do my part for the cost of materials and postage.

Lane

Not without the Hubbel telescope he ain't :D

PM Incoming.

Same deal for you - send me the holster and I'll make the mods for my cost plus shipping...

Geeze...
