Wow!! I love this thing. Tucks my 2" Black Widow into about the same space as my 1 1/2" gun belt. Absolutely disappears under an untucked T-shirt. I did add a Pug style slip-on grip to further minimize the profile, but I have used this grip on my Wasp and find it very manageable.

It's a beautiful piece of leather; excellent construction and perfect fit!  This will live on my left side (cross-draw  ;) ) always!  Thanks to Rick and Desert Gun Leather!

Rick has some fine looking holsters he's making, I'm waiting till I get to AZ for the winter to order a pancake holster for my .380 Guardian.

hello all, this looks like the bond arms derringer cross draw "bad" driving holster.  does it attach the same way with velcro over the belt?  does it ride high and tight?  my bond arms bad holster sags so much to make it unwearable when i am walking.  too bad as i love the design.  please let me know, thanks.

Thank you! It's always nice when you receive something in the mail that works! lol!!

I'm glad you like it 2cooltoolz! The Driving Holster works great with the Black Widow and other NAA's! I've been doing a few other small Semi-Auto guns in this style lately to like the LCR, P-238, P-938, etc.

This is one of the quickest and easiest methods of carrying to draw from while seated or driving.

Black on black. Perfect.
There are a few subtle tones of black there if you look closely "smokeless"  ;)

It's finally winter in AZ! It was *25 degrees below Tuesday. We had the roll-up bay door open at the shop all day!
*(25 below 100 degrees)  ;)

Well, it "looks like the BA Holster" but it works better. In all fairness, the BA Holster is holding up a pistol that weighs a lot more than an NAA. And... are you wearing an adequate "Gun Belt" for that gun? (Double Layer, Double Stitched, Leather or Webbing)

There are "improvements" that BA could do to help that Holster work better. 

Those improvements, for my version of the "Driving Holster,"  keep it from "rolling" and moving around. (within reason)

As I said, the Bond is much heavier than any NAA, and to be fair they clearly state... "it is a DRIVING HOLSTER" not a "WALKING AROUND Holster" and it should do the driving function ok.  :)

You should have no trouble with one of the Driving Holsters I make if used with the Gun it is made for.  There are quite a few out in the wild and many are folks here on the Forum.

The "Belt Strap" is held on your belt with "Hook and Loop" material (Velcro style) and is replaceable if needed. I have used some of mine for 2 years and they still function fine. The "Loop" (fuzzy side) is what wears, and is easy to replace.

I'll replace it for free if it is worn out. I've had drywall guys get dust in it so bad that it will no longer "hook", that is not worn out.  :o
But still replaceable.  ;)

I hope this helps you with your questions. Feel free to send a PM or call me if you have more.
