I'm with you there. It looks like I'll have to take an Uncle Mike's Super Belt Slide #1, cut out the stitching that forms the holster to the weapon, and re-stitch it to work for my PPS.

Galco's Custom Shop makes all their "exotic" (alligator, shark, ostrich, etc.) holsters and I think they make the Royal Deluxe too. If you want a holster that they don't offer in one of the standard colors for that model, they will make one and, if you want a left hand holster for a gun that they only offer right hand, they will make that too. However, they don't cut leather for holster/gun combinations that they don't already manufacture.

The only holster that I can think of that meets the IWB/thumb-break requirement is Bianchi's Model 3S. They offer one for the USP Compact and that should fit the P2000 quite nicely.

To my knowledge, Galco, Bianchi, Uncle Mikes seem to have some in stock and ready to go, but generally not lefties. (Lefty, here.) Best I've found, in terms of turnaround time, is Fist. They do lefty for most of their designs, and a thumb break can be added to nearly all of them.

I like my Ted Blocker model 12. I don't know if they make it for your model though.

+1 on Galco. I think you will definitely find what you need there. Or try Jim Murnak at FIST Holsters. I have oredered several things there with much satisfaction.

That's fairly accurate, they don't want a lot of stock in inventory and their left-hand inventory suffers for it.

We stock at least 1,000 left hand holsters at all times and both Galco and Bianchi have said that we have more in stock than they do. Telephone customers have often remarked that they called Galco or Bianchi and they said to call us.

I can say from first hand experience that the Bianchi 3S is a quality holster. I have been carrying one for nearly 13 years, and aside from normal wear, it is still perfect. I like it so much that if it didn't have the thumb break I would have purchased one for my 1911.
