They Are Here! Pictures Added

dr_cmg · September 5th, 2006, 01:42 PM

Even though I won't get to take photos until late tonight, I work until 10 CDT, I had to let you know that my K&D shipment arrived today.

I have a black Cochise Defender and clip on single mag carrier for my SIG P239 9mm and a burgundy paddle holster and clip on single mag carrier for my SIG P239 .357SIG. The word that came out of my mouth as soon as I tried the Cochise Defender was "sweet." What a difference. I have only put it on and put the SIG in it and already I know that I will like it.

The kydex holster I was using was nice, but had no give at all and did not mold to the body. I am not running down the holster nor the manufacturer, but we all know that kydex does not bend.

The leather will take my shape as I wear it. They are beautiful and I'll post pictures tonight so that you can see.

Here are the photos.

Very cool
I gave kevin an order for the Laredo Defender last week along with a belt. I'm waiting.........and waiting.

Been years since I got a custom holster.

Congratulations on the new gear George, looking forward to seeing those pics when you get them up! Guess you like the Sig 239, huh? LOL

I can sense your delight George!! Long wait comes to an end.

You will just love using those rigs - that's about as certain as anything gets

Hi dr_cmg,
I am a new guy guy here. I am looking forward to hearing more about your holster from K&D Holsters. I hope to see some pics also. I just turned in an order with Keving today for a rig for my Kel Tec P3AT. Now the wait starts. Patience is not one of my strong points

. Sounds like you are happy as I am sure I will be also.

Take care, Ron

This was my second wait. I also have a Pocket Defender 2 in 1 for my Kel Tec P32. I will say that after waiting twice now, it is worth the wait. Next I need to find someone to make a holster for my S&W 1066.

Thanks for the input dr_cmg, although, it is not going to make the wait any easier

. 8-10 weeks is a LONG time.

Thanks, Ron

My Laredo Defender should be along anytime, I'm enjoying the Mohave Defender that I received in July.

Let's see, clip-on IWB, snap-on OWB, maybe I need a slip-on Eagle Defender??

Congrats, I'm sure you guys will get along well.

dimmak · September 5th, 2006, 11:11 PM

Great pics. Looks nice.

I've got a couple of K&D rigs coming soon, as well:

K&D Laredo Defender OWB, for a CZ P-01 9mm
K&D Pocket Defender Plus, for a KelTec P3AT 380ACP

Have opted for a F.I.S.T. #2 OWB clip-on, for a Browning BDM 9mm.

Will definitely be posting pics, once they are completed. Hopefully these will fit well.

srfl · September 6th, 2006, 06:16 AM

ooooooo....very nice George!

maclean3 · September 6th, 2006, 08:10 AM

That's some nice leather George, looks like your 239s are well set for carry for years to come. How close do those clip on mag pouches ride when you're trying to conceal the rig? More great examples of Kevin's work.

rstickle · September 6th, 2006, 10:11 AM

Jack, I carry the mag pouches behind the left hip and they ride close enough that I am going to have to get used to the base plate poking me. If the base plate were the same width as the mag it would still be touching me. Maybe by this week-end I can get some time and have the wife take some pictures of the two rigs in use. I'll be spending some time in the next few days getting the IWB adjusted so that when the pictures are taken they will be a true representation of what I really do. I've got the paddle on right now at about 4 and it is comfortable. I am surprised how tightly it tucks the grip into my body. Good stuff.

Ben Hennessy · September 6th, 2006, 10:43 AM

Great set up. I am waiting on an outfit from El Paso Sadlery and when I recieve it , I'll take pics and post.
