This one was for a long time customer and friend to the shop.  We have done several Holsters for him and people that have seen his gear and he has brought in to have us build Holster for.

He always loves looking at the NAA's and when I had bought an "extra" Black Widow he lost his mind and had to have it! 

He wanted a Driving Holster and he is always open to letting me "have my way" with his gear so I did a little tooling on the belt strap to make it a little different.

He is a "lefty" so it's pointed the "wrong way" lol!!

I love it, I just love it.
To just tool the one part is beautiful.

Now the coffee is going down good.

Very nice!

I can't complain on mine.  The stitching sets off the grips I think. As always great work!

hello rick, your driving holster looks great! my bond arms derringer is too heavy for its "bad" cross draw driving holster.  sags terribly and is unwearable when not seated.  does your driving holster ride tight enough to be comfortable when walking?  how is it sized:  by individual naa typeor by barrel length, frame size?  i've gotva bugout1 22lr cylinder on a magnum frame eith revision grips now and im looking at a black widow 22lr cylinder.  thanks!

Hi jstert,

Thank you!

My Driving Holsters are made "Gun Specific".  They are made and molded to the model gun it was ordered for. A Holster for your Bug Out and one for your Black Widow will be 2 different Holsters.

When I first saw the Bond Driving Holster I thought it was such a great idea! then I saw one "in-person" and could see some "areas of improvement"  ;)  that could be done. Especially for how much they cost!

Those improvements are incorporated in all my Driving Holsters.  (Including the Bond Arms)
For the Bond Arms, even with the improvements to keep it from sliding down, the Driving Holster is best used while mainly seated.

The longer barrel Bond guns are so HEAVY that this style of Holster has its limitations so for the 3 1/2" and longer barrel I recommend "use while seated" works best. If you are going to Hike around with a Bond Arms pistol you should use a different style Holster.

My Driving Holsters for NAA's work well for walking around. I use one for my Pug and have one for my Black Widow. I'll put one on in the morning and not take it off until the evening with no trouble. The weight difference between the Bond and an NAA is a huge difference in overall performance.

I'll be happy to help you when you're ready!

I realize I am a little late to this, but I like the offset colors in the leather, along with the pattern portion. I also like the red stitching with the recd CVang grips!

Never too late! It is a little different than how I usually build these so I thought it was "photo-worthy"  ;)

I could look at it everyday and enjoy it just as much as the first time I saw it.
