Title: Desantis Paddle Holster
Post by: scar2783 on March 26, 2010, 03:18:45 PM: Bought the Desantis paddle holster off of Rohrbaugh's website last week. Nice little holster for a paddle and Maria's favortie. Photos here:

Post by: scar2783 on March 26, 2010, 03:35:23 PM: Thanks. It has the quality associated with Desantis and as you said, it's another option. I do want to try that Recluse though!

Post by: scar2783 on March 27, 2010, 04:34:22 PM: I would think so. As you can see in the photos, there are two adjustment screws on the back...

Post by: Richard S on March 27, 2010, 07:54:10 PM: Very nice indeed! Although I carry my R9 in a pocket holster, I like paddle holsters and have them for a 1911 and a P7. The adjustable paddle design is particularly useful in the cross-draw configuration for long automobile trips.

Post by: scar2783 on March 27, 2010, 08:08:03 PM: I'm a newly retired New York State Police Investigator and used a paddle holster for my issued Glock 37. The SP actually started issuing paddle holsters to B.C.I. personal in recent years. Before that you had to buy your own. Before the switch to the Glock 37 a few years ago, I had a Blackhawk SERPA for my G26. I found that the paddle is much more comfortable with dress slacks, practical and very convenient.

Some years ago I bought a Kydex Paddle Holster from a nice guy on the forum, and I love it. (http://www.fototime.com/FE89B0E67E3A1DE/standard.jpg)
Pictured top left, it is a little thing, doesn't get in the way, easy enough to get on and off, yet holds tight to my pants.

Post by: scar2783 on April 11, 2010, 03:21:29 PM: I like them both. Does the paddle stay secure and not move around that much? Wish someone still made them. Love the CF one as it compliments the grips so well...

Post by: chameleon on April 11, 2010, 08:32:20 PM: This little paddle holster does not move. It is small, holds the R9 secure and is easy access.

The other pocket holster is also kydex.I do not use it that much.

I'd like to know if Dave still makes these.

Title: Re: Desantis Paddle Holster
Post by: chameleon on April 14, 2010, 08:20:32 AM: Great to see you Dave.
I'm still enjoying that paddle holster for the R9. I don't use the Kydex pocket holster as I use the RJ Hedley more, you know, it is from RJ, I miss the guy.

I'm living proff that Dave makes a great Kydex holster, I found out about him here on the forum.

Post by: deercop on May 31, 2010, 08:34:34 PM: I'm thinking of ordering the Desantis paddle holster from the Rohrbaugh store. How tight does it stay to the body? I've had a couple paddle holsters (for other guns) before that stuck out and made it obvious you were carrying.
Title: Re: Desantis Paddle Holster
Post by: chameleon on May 31, 2010, 09:19:04 PM: If you could order a Dave Brown Kydex, I'd give that a try. Mine works real well, it is small and packs close to the body.
That being said, I did see the DeSantis first hand made for the R9, I like it, actually I like a paddle holster. The Kydex is smooth inside, the DeSantis has a rough leather inside.
If you need for me to post a picture of Dave's Kydex again, I will do that.

Post by: deercop on June 07, 2010, 05:11:59 PM: I got the Desantis paddle holster in today. So far, just wearing it around the house, I think I'm really going to like it. It's not for "everyday" use, but sometimes I want to go "light" and yet not carry the R9 in my pocket. Or perhaps there's a Seecamp already there. ;)

Post by: chameleon on June 10, 2010, 07:49:16 AM: Thank you for the pics Deercop. The DeSantis looks like it has quite a few adjustments.
How is the leather portion of that holster, specifically the inside?
I'm curious as I did see one in the flesh and questioned myself if I would want to place my R9 in and out of it.

It is a great looking holster.
