Title: Rescue this Holster
Post by: fredo on November 22, 2005, 11:38:26 PM
This holster is scheduled for destruction.  It is a left handed Del Fatti BPB, made for the R9S, designed to be worn between belt and waitstband.  More comfortable than a IWB and just as concealed.  Fits 1 1/4" belt.  Holster retails for $105.00.  You can save it by paying $65.00, including shipping.  Holster will be destoyed on 12/14/05. If you love leather, save it before it's too late.

I'm tempted to start left-handed training just to get that holster.

Somebody will come along and want it.

It would work as a small of the back holster even for a right hander. Tempting..............! ::) ??? :o

After closer examination won't it work as a plain belt holster for a right hander?

Sorry . . . I'm a southpaw, but I carry in the front pocket in a Hedley rig. Plus, I've found that my R9s fits me between-the-belt-and-the-pant Milt Spark Mirage (for my 1911/BHP) perfectly.

Maybe we could work out a swap if no one bites - I'd hate to see it die, but I just don't think I'd use it. Terrific bargain, though.  :-/

PM sent - if not sold I'll take it - I agree for a right hander it would work well in the small of the back.  I could rotate it with the RJ pocket I just bought and received from Bill.

Thanks fredo because now I have two R9s and you never know when you might want to carry both - see my post under (General Disscussion - Pocket Knife traded for new R9).
A nice Thanksgiving to you also.

Thanks fredo

Just received my left handed holster that was intended to be worn under the belt.  Ordered it because I thought it would work great in the small of the back for a right hander.  Well it does - hardly know it is there.

You could also wear it outside the belt on the right side.  Thanks Matt for making a great holster.

Dave

Dave:

Be careful with carrying it in the small of the back.  If you happen to fall while doing so (e.g., in a physical struggle or simply by falling on the ice in winter), you are at risk for spinal injury.  I used to carry my 1911 SOB -- until I learned of an undercover LEO who was body slammed on his back and was partially paralyzed by the damage his SOB-holstered gun did to his spinal cord.

Yes, I've often read strong recommendations that the pistol not be carried in the small of the back.  It is generally considered quite dangerous, I believe.

Dave,

I forgot to mention how nice that new holster is.

In addition, you must be exercising and eating properly to look so well.

I'm presently engaged in a weight reduction program, and also hope to change from age 68 to 26.  The complete details have not been worked out.

Dave, the brand on that holster will look great in your new F-250 King Ranch truck.

Matt's holster symbol does look a little like the King Ranch logo.   Seems to be only one King Ranch in the area and wife doesn't like the color - may go with a F250 Lariat.

Dave, your Ford dealer will do a locate and find one in the color you like if you ask them. Then they will go get it and trade with the other dealer. That way you can get a King Ranch interior and the exterior color of your choice.
