New Holster

[gfb46]

Ordered a Holster from Rick @ Desert Gun Leather for the 1 5/8' Mag/combo.  Forgot to tell them I was using the Viridian Laser Grips.  Nothing a dremel tool and a few minutes of my time couldn't fix.  Beautiful holster Rick.

Nice holster. Rick does some fine leather work. I?ve got a few of his holsters as well.

for a minute I thought that was my holster...

I just got the same one for another 1 5/8" Magnum I got.  Great design.  I use the same model for my EDC Black Widow.

I prefer pocket carry but some jeans and slacks have what I call "Pug" deep pockets, too short for my Black Widow to slide all the way down into for a secure and concealed carry.  Since I do not "YET" have a Pug I use the belt rig. After a few minuets you do not even notice it being there.

  Hey there Ken AZ , how do you find that laser being constant as for repeated target shooting . Can you tell if it wanders , does the grip shift at all . Battery life has always been a problem with my NAA size lasers . Inquiring minds need to know .

Those look really nice! Thanks for posting. I was unaware of this company and having trouble finding holster options for my Black Widow. I'll have to check them out..

Watch out.. Rick?s holsters tend to multiply like minis!

He has his own holster file on my computer.
378 holster pictures.
Every one of is a work of art.

OV1D,
I was referring to the holster not the Laser grip.  I'm a CVANG Revision grip guy.  At the distance I shoot I try to line up the Black Widow sights.  I do use laser grips on many of my guns but not the NAA.  I consider lasers for night time use and also as a visual deterrent for the 2 legged snakes I might have to point one at.  If my NAA comes out it is going to bark and at a very close range.

  I feel the same way . I wish those lasers could shoot on a dime ALWAYS and seems every time I did want to use it the batteries failed me especially that top mounted series ..

I?ve got one of the top mounted lasers but I don?t even keep batteries in it. It and a bayonet are on my early 22lr that I never shoot. It?s more of a conversation piece anymore

Great holster! Still on the hunt myself but personally looking for something that allows me to carry in deep concealment in the pocket without the folding holster grip!

You might consider a Pocket Holster. 

We make most of them with a 5 round shell pouch attached (most people like the option)  but we can leave the pouch off and narrow the "footprint" some. They will still stay upright in your pocket without the 5 round snap.

That sure is a beautiful bunch of Pink and Black holsters down there.
They just are not ready to come out yet.

[Rimfire]

That chestnut color pocket holster above is starting to grow on me for sure?

One more to add to that bunch...

The Small-of-Back for the Black Widow is in process now

Thank You Sir.
I have plans that are taking too long.
NAA can't do what I want at this time.
Maybe later.

Question for Pietro.   
What keeps the revolver from falling out of your pocket if you lean over?
I lean over, and my glasses, etc. fall out of my shirt pocket.

Loss/exposure hasn't been an issue with me, because I'm careful (responsible ? )  about whatever SD weapon I happen to be carrying.

IMO, when someone decides to CCW, they should also be aware of both what they're wearing for concealability and how to move carefully so as not to have any accidental exposure of their EDC.

( In some jurisdictions, accidental exposure can lead to loss of a CCW permit)

Depending on the shirt, I sometimes add a pocket protector (with a pen or two inside) to the pocket, over/in front of my BW.

I've also sewn a bit of moleskin into the back of a pocket of a garment that's made of a slippery material (like nylon/rayon/etc) to help with retention.

In cold weather, when most folks wear heavy clothing, I CCW a CF pistol in a pants pocket dedicated to the pistol, the imprint shielded  by my smart phone, to avoid exposure.

You have to watch that zipper
