Hey all, first post in here. Been reading the forums for some time now and think I have an idea as to what I am looking for. I had time to browse around and check out the different holster makers, options and what not.

I like the look of the K&D holsters that I have seen, specifically the Eagle and Laredo Defenders. My question, for those of you that have them, is if you notice a difference between the two. Do the snaps hold as close to the body as the loops do on the Eagle? I like the idea of having the snaps so I can take it off easier.

Any info would be great, and feel free to post photos carried or not. This would help me get a good idea as to how it carries.

FWIW, I'm looking at either for a standard Sig P229.

I don't have an Eagle, but I do have 2 Laredo's and they hold very close to the body. The one I have had for the longest is for my Smith 1066. I have it on right now. It sits at about 5 o'clock and the grip presses right into the hollow above my kidney.

Kevin does great work and either would work well. P95Carry (Chris) has an Eagle and loves it. There are several pictures of him with it on and it too pulls the grip in tight.

For me the Laredo works great because I work odd hours and dress in two different styles most days. Being able to come home and swap the holster to a pair of jeans that already has a belt in place is a time saver.

I'll try and find the pic of my eagle - albeit on a very old belt - it is obvious tho I think that it holds in tight - I am now on a better belt and it's that much better yet. The pics were taken by my wife and I forgot to even cinch up the old belt!

Don't have the Eagle, but have two Laredo's - hold close to the body - alot closer than I ever imagined a snap on being able to do!! You really can't go wrong with either one!!

I wear a Laredo (in fact I'm wearing at this very moment) and it carrying nice and tight just behind my hip.

I've got pictures my wife took a while back. I'll try to locate them and post later.


I heartily recommend Kevin's work. I think my next from him will actually be a Maverick IWB.

Nice Photo's P95Carry. I have two Eagles already on order. One for a SP101 and the other for a P220. I should be getting notified soon as to when they begin the work, I ordered on Sept. 1st...

my Defender snaps on the belt, it holds tight. I prefer snap on or clip on to belt slide models. much easier on and off the gun belt.

Now you see it...


...now you don't.



Or at least, that's what I tell myself.
