thanks

Don't know anyone that does. Every gun training class or CC classes that I've been to, recommend not to carry in the small of the back. If you should fall on your back with the gun there, you can be seriously injured.

i'm not conserned with falling on my back with a holster. does anyone else know of a holster maker that would make one?
thanks

Lucas,
Even though Robert Meco isn't currently taking orders because of a family death I suggest you contact him. Other forum members here have said that he will make whatever you want at superb quality.

Just thought I would pass on some advice I had learned from different gun training classes. You certainly don't have to heed it. No one expects to fall. I try to eliminate anything I know that could cause a problem. Good luck to you, for sure!
-
thanks i'll look into it.
-
Excellent!

I would love to find an IWB or OWB Crossdraw holster for the PUP. Would be nice while driving.
-
As tracker suggested to calilw, contact Robert Meco and he can make you what you would like. He has made DaninVa a cross draw and has a picture on another thread. Just make sure you ask Robert to angle the clip on so the grip points forward rather than upright. Dan has pointed out, this is one change he would make.

Robert is now taking orders again.

Thanks! Now I can get one made for the Boberg! And in black!

i sent him an email and received a call back within a day. unfortunately i missed the call but i'll keep you posted if we can work something out.
-
Please do post if it can be made I want one to
-
i talked to robert and he's a good guy. he doesn't make a small of the back and not real keen on dueing so for liability reasons. but still might go back to him for a pocket rig. i just contacted a local guy here in st louis and i'll keep you posted on what we come up with.

calilw:
Years ago, against all advice, I talked a holster maker who shall remain unnamed into making a small-of-the back (SOB) holster for me to carry a 1911. After a few days of wearing the rig I found it to be so uncomfortable that I put it in permanent storage. Regardless of any danger from falling backwards while wearing it, I found the rig to be a real irritation to the spinal area after an hour or two of wearing it.

after meeting with a local leathersmith here in st louis this is what i came up with.
first is an on the belt holster that he had made for another customer's spouse and it's not what they wanted so he kept the holster and remade it as a paddle holster for them. i don't remember what gun it was for but it only took minor fitting to make it work for the R9S. now i'm not thrilled with the color, and i don't think there is a need for the tention screw. but he cut me a great deal on it, and if the color really starts bothering me i can take it back and have it completely dyed black. i do like the contrasting stitching though so i think i can live with it. i've had it for a couple of weeks now and it is really comfortable and a pleasure to wear.

the second is an IWB with a clip rough side out. this one was custom made to my R9S. this is going to be my go to when the weather warms up. i've only worn it a couple times and it disappears.

i also had him make an ankle rig for my S&W 340PD. i never though i'd have an ankle holster but man is this thing comfortable! i'll take pictures later.
so with it all said and done i had jack make me two new hosters, modify one to fit the R9S, and fit two other holsters i had for my 357. he told me to give him 2-3wks for the work and after 5 days i had a message that it all was done. and all the work cost about $150. and wow am i very happy!
thanks again for everyones help and if anyone's interested in jacks contact info let me know.

lucas. Thanks. Let us know Jack's contact info.
-
his name is Jack Bender ph# 636-207-7793 email jbcustom-leather@att.net ... he's a retired police officer and works out of his home so please be respectful of that. i did talk to him about posting his phone number before doing so. so he knows there is some out of town interest in his work. he currently resides on the west side of st. louis.
-
lucas. Thanks. Always good to know another holster maker. Thanks again.

The Remnora No-Clip holsters can be tucked in the waistband anywhere (even in the small of your back) and can also be used between the belt and pants.
Check them out at:
http://www.remoraholsters.com
We make 5 models that will work with the Rohrbaugh:
1XSMA2 - Hold just the gun in the holster.
1XSMA3 - Holds a gun with added accessories or for those that like a looser fit.
1XSMALP - The gun sits lower in the holster and exposes more of the grip (new product - not in the online store yet, will have to fill out the contact form on the website)
1XSMAWM - Holds the same guns as the 1XSMA3, but with an extra mag pocket.
1XSMAAH - Holds the same guns as the 1ZSMA2, but has velcro attached to use with the velcro leg strappings. Can be used as a pocket holster also.
