A comfortable CCW holster
« on: October 14, 2022, 09:16:11 AM »
For me finding a comfortable conceal carry holster has been a quest....

IWB is not, because there is already enough of me inside the waist band  ::)
OWB tend to be placed high and or canted on the belt and poke me  :-X

There is one that hangs over your junk, you pull a flap it pops up no thank you !  :o 

There are clips, paddles and even dual belt loops, that put the holster on your hip, side or appendix
I have not really wanted to hunt (as in buy & try) just to be another holster in the box that did not fulfill.

So, a Desantis pocket has been my go-to, but it is hard if not nearly imposable to draw if needed, seated in my car.

Then I saw the Anderson Leather "CarJacker" I decided I'd attempt a version to see if that might be the grail !

So here is my version, it works in a left cross draw (easy reach while seated) OWB is low and does not
poke me. Form fitted for my SIG 365 and snug enough for good retention.

It is suede lined and fully sewn (by hand) Finish is Lt Brown Dye and Scidmore's, burnished in.

when planets align...do the deal !

Nicely done.

One of the early holsters I made for a friend is similar to your.

He has been using it for a while now and still likes it.

Are you using a spring clip, or a sewn - on leather belt loop?
