New Holster @ K&D Holsters

[K-Man]

Am showing this here first.  This is a new, double-duty, holster we'll be offering.  It functions as both an OWB style and a pocket holster.





We'll be offering it for the small pocket guns, to include the R9.  There will be one additional option available for it, which will most likely become the standard.  Price for plain, all smooth leather, will be $60 + shipping.

The one pictured is available for sale, if interested.  Price is $88/shipped.  That's genuine shark on the overlay.

Kevin,
   Great looking holster and awesome design.

I like it, too!  Man!  With the holster ideas now, that are coming out, very hard to resist the holster addiction.

OHAD strikes again. It is not only beautifully made but very creative in the design. Kudos to Kevin for a very unique holster.

[K-Man]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Holster is sold.

Congratulations to Kevin on an elegant design elegantly executed.  And congratulations to the new owner on an obviously elegant taste in gunleather.

That holster is simply beautiful. What is the "option" you refer to Kevin?

[K-Man]

Here's a picture with the other option, which will be the standard configuration:



Here's a couple of pics of it being worn under a t-shirt at the 3:00 position:





The new configuration has the belt running around the outside of the holster, instead of the behind the holster.  By wearing the holster/gun between the waistband and behind the belt, you bring the gun closer in to the body substantially.  There was a noticeable difference in "printing" when worn in the original configuration.  This is when wearing just a t-shirt as a cover garment.  The original configuration will work if you have a looser cover garment.  And, of course, either configuration works as a pocket holster.  

I have been wearing the new configuration every day for the last 2 weeks.  No one, including well-seasoned CCW carriers, have noticed it.  I was standing in front of a long time carry friend just the other day, and when I raised the t-shirt for him to see, he was surprised to see I was carrying in that position.  So it works, and it works very effectively.  Access is quick and easy.  The holster has a slight forward cant to it - approx 10-degrees.

The holster is available for order, though not yet shown on the website.

I've got my order in.  I got to see the prototype and think Kevin is onto something here.  Everyone likes a multi-purpose holster, so long as it does at least one thing very well.  I think this one does both methods well.

I have to say this is really attracting my attention!!

It gives the option of occaisonal waist-carry, but without needing a duplicate wardrobe of trousers, one size bigger for IWB  

At most, maybe a larger belt, but maybe not even that -- I LIKE it!!

Unless you are on you last belt notch, it shouldn't be a problem!  If you are on your last belt notch, take that as a warning!

I had the same problem, now I have reversed it all my belts are too big after losing fifty pounds.
  I don't mind spending the money on a smaller size as much as I did buying the larger.

John.  Congrats on the weight; another five pounds.  You're doing great!

The shark is very nice K-man!  Is there a reason that your design does not fully cover the trigger guard?  I always fear dropping my keys into the wrong pocket.........

What would be the cost and delivery time for another in shark or gator?
