The Bikini II





I thought I would give a low cut bikini another try. This time still with out a screw or eyelet in front of the sight. When I do start selling this will be the one I offer. Super fast draw rides great tight to the body.. So here is the Bikini II....Shown in OD Green with black shark loops from Dave....

O.D Green Paddle





Dave asked me if I could make a paddle so I gave it a try. Here is my first prototype paddle in O.D. Green. I like it!! It is comfy but does not hide well. It will be great for around the house or anyplace you don't have to hide it....

Another Pancake





I gave a pancake another try. This time I used a radical cant. I also made it a slide type of rig so I can carry my 5 inch and me 3.5 inch 1911's..Not really my type of holster but it wears great and hides good too..

The Low Rider




After posting the "Bikini" On DC.com Some folks thought it would look better without the Chicago screw in front of the sight. So I have come up with a newer version... The Low Rider

Bikini for a Glock





I even made a Bikini for Dave to use in the shop..Of coarse he had to supply his own leather loops... He had to send me a blue gun to use for this project. It was the first time I used a trainer as a mold...

Kdex clips





Around this time I started to supply Kydex clips for Dave (Little Bear Custom Holsters)
So far I have been making C-J and standard clips for his tuckable holsters. I will soon be making v-clips as well..

A simple bender for a freinds Taurus




A fellow I work with wanted something to keep his pistol in. Something he could wear out hunting. He was not concerned with concealed carry at all. I tried something different with this one. I left wings for the belt to hold onto.
The results were this thing rides tight up against you!!! I wish I had taken more pic's of this holster..

Biniki for the Steyr





I liked this holster so much I quickly made one for my Steyr.. Some of these pic's have elephant loops and some are done in shark.. Once again all my leather goods come from Dave at Little Bear Custom Holsters.. I have been happily surprised at how well this type of holster pulls the pistol in close. I can't even describe how fast and smooth the draw is..

The bikini





I saw this somewhere I don't remember but I thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did!! This has turned into my all time favorite type of holster.. Someone on one of the forums said my pistol was wearing a bikini. So the name stuck I have people ask about the bikini all the time, Seems the biggest concern is that it looks as though the pistol will just fall out. I wear this all the time and have NEVER had any type of issue with it. The retention in in the trigger guard and I can lock the pistol in if I want...The loops are made by my friend Dave.. We will talk more about Dave later on.. In these pic's the loops are done with black shark and one way snaps...

High Ride





Around this time I picked up a 3.5 inch Rock Island Armory .45 acp. So I then made a high ride holster for it. Not my best but works well. It does tend to want to lean out if I have on a thin belt..

Extreme X-Draw




This one works great in your car or at your desk..I made it to just clip on and off. You do not have to remove your belt... .63 Kydex in black. I used a little glue also on this one just to make sure.. I do really like this holster..

Another IWB




This was was a little different for me. It can be worn strong side or as a X-draw holster..I never did use this one much. To me Kydex is to unforgiving for IWB..Some folks like it and I will make what ever people ask for..

My Hybrid





I have to credit Cross Breed for this design...I don't remember where I got the leather. I do know that the Kydex is .63 and the clips are .93. Once again this is for the Steyr. This is a very comfortable set up. It hides the fat Steyr with ease. I can also tuck in my shirt with this rig and no one has ever spotted it...

My settable cant idea





I wanted to try and find a simple settable cant design.. This was my first and only attempt at a settable cant holster.. I made this with .93 black Kydex. This thing is so easy to get just the right cant for you... Not a concealment holster tho. I hardly ever use this one...

A bender made with a press





This was my first bender made with the press I built..It is made of .63 black Kydex. This really is a great holster still wear it a lot even now!! Before I got the sander in my shop I was taking holsters to work to sand on the edge sander..I also started to wet sand the edges at this time. Yes wet sand I find that dry sanding melts the Kydex ..
