RJ:

The curvature of this holster does indeed permit it to conform exceptionally well to the wearer's leg when carried in the pocket.  I can't say enough in praise of this new design of yours.  

As for the question of pocket CCW, I routinely have the seamstress at my local laundry/dry-cleaner deepen by about three inches the right-front pocket of every new pair of trousers, slacks, or cargo pants I purchase.  She refers to the job as "making a holster holster," and she's become very good at it.  The deepened pocket prevents any "Nosey Nellies" standing behind me in checkout lines from possibly catching a glimpse of the butt of the pistol in my pocket.

I shall try to get the prototype back to you in tomorrow's mail for either monogramming or duplication.  The truth is that I don't want to let it go.

RJ, what are you calling this holster? Just in case I would like to order one, and also how long do you think you will keep it in production?

Thanks RJ.

RJ, the Limited front pocket holster currently on your site looks very different from this one.  I realize this thread is quite old now, but I was wondering what motovated the changes.

I see the one on your site is more square and has fancy stitching near the top.  

Also, I have a question about the width.  The Fist Inc kydex holster I have for my P32 is exactly as wide as my pockets.  I'm wondering if thei is the goal, or if its better to have the holster a little narrower?  Any thoughts?

Thank you...

Jim

 The "New" look of the "LE" was to be posted on my site, as
another choice on my Site, but time to develop methods &
patterns have yet to be found.  It is a great, comfortable holster, and is available on request, from those that know about it... ;D

Width...  This is important, I have always invited customers to request their desired widths..   You must remember, I make holsters to fit the average Pocket, which happens to be mine..  ;D

Hi RJ, thanks for the reply.  I like the looks of this new one better, without the extra stitching on the top.  Is that extra little lump on the right side a thumb pushoff to help draw?  

What do you feel the advantages and disadvantages of this new one over the one that's on your site are?

What's the pricing for the new one?

Thanks!

The New "LE" is light and confortable.  The fit is at near "O" retention, and a some guys don't grasp that .  They are still thinking "Belt holster with heavy retention"..
It is not easy to make,  yet..  I am still working on it in my spare time, which I don't have enough of...

I assume that "0" retention means zero retention. What I am still trying to figure out is the comment about the little bump. I don't see a bump, so I'm confused?
