Got it in about 1 week. Bought it for IDPA - not sure how well it would work for CCW

I have carried a Glock 23 for 11 years and the best holster I have found is the Bianchi Carry Loc, series 82. I don't care for IWB, just not comfortable. I like a high rise pancake and this is by far the best I have used. Before you forget it because it is a retention holster, let me say I hate thumb breaks and retention holsters in general, however the release lever on this holster is so perfectly placed that your finger depresses it as part of a normal draw. I practiced with the store display unit for 30 min before I laid out the cash, if my draw was slowed in anyway it would go back to the store. This one is a keeper!!! Just wish they made one for my P232.

Give Sam Andrews a call. Get yourself another custom holster without a long wait. http://www.andrewsleather.com/

Freetrapper, if you are looking for a non custom holster, I can vouch for the Galco Concealable. I'm using one as an interim until my Brigade Gunleather holster comes in. Frankly, I am really surprised at how well the Galco is working for me. I use it with a Sig 229, and have found that with as thick as the Sig is, I'm able to wear it under a light sweater without too much worry of printing. It took all of four days from ordering for the holster to arrive.

As far as Andrews custom leather is concerned, I have two of Sam Andrew's holsters -- one is a hybrid saddle with thumb break for my Govt Model Series 70, it works like a champ. The other is a hybrid saddle without thumb break for my Sig 220...again, the quality is simply AWESOME. The only drawback is that the holster for my Sig took about 4 months, however, I knew before hand it was going to take awhile. You can't go wrong with Andrews Custom Leather.

I went ahead and ordered a Don Hume last Friday. They assured me it would ship today or tomorrow and should be here yet this week. They had a lefty in stock for a reasonable price. I hope it works out for me.

I'm in the same boat with my BHP and waiting for my holster to be made. In the mean time I purchased a Don Hume ITP to tide me over till my custom holster arrives.
