    Sorry about the flying coffee. Just kidding of course. Just slow down and take things easy. Don't worry about the backlog, it doesn't matter since I already have mine :D. Seriously, I like your holster... a lot. Get better soon.    Gene

I'd still like to see what the print looks like in a pair of relaxed-fit jeans, both standing and sitting.  The Rohrbaugh is really close to the limit for pocket carry in jeans for me.  Mine is front carried in a Meco back pocket holster with a modified print panel.  It's still big enough that I have had a comment about what it could be.  ::)

At least the Meco, while a bit bigger than a wallet, is square like one.  Does the angled shape of the Recluse advertise "I'm not a wallet, and possibly holding something shaped like a 7"

Well, I finally ordered one in tan yesterday.  I'll see how well it works in my front jeans pocket!

I have been carrying mine for a while and it is comfortable and breaks the outline of the gun very well. I have only carried in shorts, I don't wear jeans of any kind until around December.

I wonder if one can be made with the mag holder that will be sized to use with mag extensions?

I do like options, although don't carry an extra mag, this will be of interest.

Although I see the Recluse as a new, out of the box, different design I just cant see myself using one.  Maybe one day i'll get to see one in person and try it out and then can make my mind up about them.

Well, after my above post, one of our FINE forum members sent me his Recluse holster for me to try out a few days to see what I thought (Thanks Gene!).  I used it for 2 days and it does work.  It kept the gun in the right position and ready for deployment which is very fast from this design.  It does print more in my pocket than my regular holsters but it does not print gun.  It prints big oval thingy.  ;)  If the rubbery insert that surrounds the trigger keeps its "firmness" over time I think it is a safe way to carry.  I still think that a fully enclosed trigger is a safer design like on most leather pocket holsters.  I may just be old fashioned in that respect but thats the way I feel.  As I posted before I'd held one in my hand it is a new, out of the box different design and now that I have used one for a few days I'm going to go back to my old n trusty pocket holster.

What keeps me from trying a Recluse is the issue of "tumbling".
Being in East Texas, I wear shorts, the slacks type, 10 months out of the year and they have big wide pockets.  All my holsters already need those wing stabilizers so the the grip is where it is supposed to be when I  need it.  
No surprises.

Reinz,
   I did not have an issue with "tumbling" and I wear cargo type shorts with large pockets. I didn't do anything overly active and it seemed to stay upright just fine.

I have mine for sale because I'm just a traditional holster guy. Old habits die hard I guess.
