Cell/Pager Pal simple mod

Rustynuts · September 2nd, 2007, 10:51 AM

I know this has been flamed around here, but I thought I'd mention an easy mod. The "pager" clip is laughable and the $20 cell phone clip is clunky AND ugly! I was able to slip my normal cell phone holster into it and it works fine! Looks normal now.

I think this will work well for small guns like a KelTec or Kahr PM series. Larger guns may "bulge" too much! Shouldn't really bulge any worse than a smartcarry I would think?

Quality seems on the low side (stitching, leather, plastic clip). Not really worth the $60 (+$20 for cell phone). Pics to follow.

Plus I'm a lefty and the smarmy gunshow carny tried to convince me to take a righty "since they don't make the lefty anymore"! This right after I tried the lefty demo they had on the table. Luckily I reached up and pulled a lefty off the rack on the second try.

Rusty,

You wouldn't need a lefty Fobus Glock holster, would ya? I got it in a box full of stuff, and can't seem to find a lefty Glock owner.

Although it may not be of the highest quality, mine has served me well. With a good belt I can conceal a full size Kimber rather well.

Apparently, we lefties are more evolved, and above the ownership of such an abomination.

Over 2 years of almost daily carry. The only problem I have is breaking the pagers.

Works better with the slim PPK/S than the S&W CS45, but either way it's deeply concealed, and completely comfortable.

I shoot right handed, rope right handed, hammer, etc.. All the guns and ropes I had around growing up were right handed, so I just evolved.
Now, I can outshoot ya with BOTH hands!

This doesn't sound right. Check with Charlie or JoAnn @ Smart Carry. They make them up as needed.

That was just a line of BS by the gunshow carny when he thought it was a lost sale when I asked for the lefty model. He didn't think he had one until I found it on the rack.
