Ranger II "Driving Holster"

[Rick_Jorgenson]

We have been getting requests for Driving Holsters for NAA's for a while and figured the Ranger II would be a "Natural" to Kick Off a New Holster Design!

Since doing them for Bond Arms has been very positive I thought "Why not"?

I think these will be really popular for the Black Widow too.

Industrial grade "Hook & Loop" (Velcro) is on the Holster body and the strap. The belt strap has a molded belt impression to keep it centered.  Leather color is Chestnut with Gold Thread.  Holster is molded to the gun and has a Thumb Break to help with retention.

This is the quickest way to draw while seated and while driving.

Since this is the first one any comments, constructive criticism, or ideas  from all of you is welcome and helps me improve the finished products. 

I appreciate all of you and your support!

Looks nice

[Fharing]

Looks perfect. My favorite Naa by a long shot is the bug out.  Grey thread on black is on my wish list.

[ELK52]

Excellent!

[Uncle_Lee]

Hey Rick, Looks good.

[Uncle Fatso]

Beautiful work.  Question: would a snap work ok to secure the holster instead of the velcro? 

[ds10speed]

Rick, I like the idea of your holster but it's not clear to me how you get the strap off the hammer to get the gun out. Can you explain?

It's a thumb-break holster. Just push the leather tab with your thumb, snap detaches from mating part on strap around hammer.

Thanks, that explains it.

Very nice! I'm coming out your way in March. Would love to see a LH driving holster for the BW. Wishin' and hopin'!

[redhawk4]

I like the idea of the driving holsters that give you access when seated in the car or a restaurant etc. For a small handgun like an NAA, it makes a lot of sense to carry horizontally on the belt as well, nothing to stick in you when you bend etc.

[heyjoe]

im looking forward to getting mine

Rick, I really like the design.

Two things that came to mind thinking about wearing one. My thinking is about wearing ahead of side pocket with the holster being squeezed in place by my 'Dunlop' spare tire.

The end of the strap around the body looks like it will hang up or catch on things, perhaps a bit long or protruding because of the Velcro?
Is this strap a separate piece of leather coming up and around belt and body? I think if it is one piece with the pouch body the saving in thickness would compensate in desirability  for the larger piece of hide required.

I think you said the back is molded to hold position on belt, which is great. Maybe an option using an 'Ulti-Clip' would be good as well.

Thanks for your beautiful and enthusiastic work!

Looks nice

Thank you David

The Bug Out is a Favorite of mine as well!  The "Grey on Black" is the "All Black" Holster this year! lol!! 

It adds a little interest to the Black Leather.  You can go all out and go with the Orange Thread! lol!! Looks great with the Bug Out Orange Grip (Unless you have changed it out) Then it looks like the circus forgot their holster! lol!!

Excellent!

Thanks Elk52!

Hey Rick, Looks good.

Thank you Uncle_Lee!

Beautiful work.  Question: would a snap work ok to secure the holster instead of the velcro? 

I really want my Driving Holster to "Stay Put".   Customers belt thicknesses and widths vary so much, with a snap, what may be tight on my (1/4") double thick 1-1/2" wide belt will "Flop" around on a customers store bought 1/8" X 1-3/8" Light weight belt.  Then I'll get a phone call saying I made a Crappy Holster because it won't sit still.
With Velcro it will snug tight to any width belt.

Rick, I like the idea of your holster but it's not clear to me how you get the strap off the hammer to get the gun out. Can you explain?

It's a thumb-break holster. Just push the leather tab with your thumb, snap detaches from mating part on strap around hammer.

Once it's unsnapped you pull the gun and the strap moves freely out of the way.  There is some practice involved to get the feel of the whole process.

Very nice! I'm coming out your way in March. Would love to see a LH driving holster for the BW. Wishin' and hopin'!

There would be one here waiting for you if you would like!  All Left Hand Holsters are made from an order,  I stock very few lefty's 

I like the idea of the driving holsters that give you access when seated in the car or a restaurant etc. For a small handgun like an NAA, it makes a lot of sense to carry horizontally on the belt as well, nothing to stick in you when you bend etc.

It is the quickest Draw while sitting.  Try getting to your gun while in your car with a seat belt on.  That convinced me!

There are some that can just tuck it up under their belly! No need for a Holster! eeeeewww!

im looking forward to getting mine

This one is going out with a second holster.  I don't have the paper work in front of me right now, it may be yours!
I had some oral surgery this morning and was ordered to stay home! (by Mrs. Gun Leather). Back at it tomorrow!

[grayelky]

How would the orange thread look with this color leather?

I can't believe no one has asked yet: How much?

I would likely be interested in one for my BW, in black.

[seak]

That will work on suspenders also,handy rig

[Gobbletn]

Hey Rick, how much for us "Thread groupies??? Looks very nice.

Rick, does this same holster fit both the Ranger II and the Black Widow, or the RII alone?

I was going to ask about more molding to the RangerII (I Like added detail there), but if it fits both, it's a 2fer 1.

[Porschedog]

This holster looks amazing! It is practical, too. Now I just need to find a Ranger so I can order the leather.

[Bigbird48]

I saw this Holster yesterday while in the shop, it's really well made and an awesome looking holster. Rick Showed me how easy it was to unsanp the thumb break and draw the gun from the holster.
I think he was talking about me when he mentioned big belly's don't need a holster Rick

[smokeless joe]

Nice job Rick. You've been a busy man.

No Way BigBird48!  Your so "svelte" the Ranger would cover your waist area! lol!!

You can order the Holster without the Gun!  Most everyone on the Forum did!

I was going to ask about more molding to the RangerII (I Like added detail there), but if it fits both, it's a 2fer 1.

All my Holsters are made "Gun Specific"  The stitch lines follow the contour of each gun,  The wet leather is molded to each model gun.

This is my product differentiator of a "Custom Built" Holster and a "off the shelf, one size fits many" and part of the many step process to proper fit and retention, especially with holsters without a thumb break or hammer thong.

Now.... after saying that,  if you jamb one of your other guns in a holster I made (for a different gun) and you think it fits ok.... your good to go.  If it falls out or doesn't draw well its on you.

Short version is this.....

• The Black Widow and Ranger II have such different shapes neither will go in the others Holster.
• You can get other  "Round Barrel" NAA Magnums to slide in (except the Sidewinder).
• The Holsters will fit the Magnum frame fine but will be to large in the barrel section.

Thanks Smokeless!  Had to "sit out" today,  had a little oral surgery this morning and Mrs. Gun Leather & the Dr. said I should stay home.  Back at it tomorrow!

very well thought out and design work and thats from an all the time driving holster user.  kevin.

[keithd]

I like it very much

[Canoeal]

Nice job.

Thanks Kevin
I have never used a "Driving Holster" but really like Cross-Draw,  after listening to many Bond Arms users they loved the idea of the Bond Driving Holster but they disliked the fact it moved so much and the gun "dropped" on the belt strap so I looked to eliminate those pain points.
The NAA is much lighter than the Bond but many of the same features I use on my Bond Holster are used on the NAA Holster.

I like it very much

Thank you Keith

Nice job.

If you want one for your Black Widow I'll title it as a "Canoe Paddling Holster"     Thanks Al

Emailing you about a "canoe paddling holster".

[Bigbird48]

He shrink wraps those to make them water proof

For now I plan to stick with pocket holsters myself, but I do have a question out of curiosity.  Rick, do you also make matching belts?

We have been getting requests for Driving Holsters for NAA's for a while and figured the Ranger II would be a "Natural" to Kick Off a New Holster Design!

Since doing them for Bond Arms has been very positive I thought "Why not"?

I think these will be really popular for the Black Widow too.

Industrial grade "Hook & Loop" (Velcro) is on the Holster body and the strap. The belt strap has a molded belt impression to keep it centered.  Leather color is Chestnut with Gold Thread.  Holster is molded to the gun and has a Thumb Break to help with retention.

This is the quickest way to draw while seated and while driving.

Since this is the first one any comments, constructive criticism, or ideas  from all of you is welcome and helps me improve the finished products. 

I appreciate all of you and your support!
