Fist Inc. #2 or #14

overplayed · December 28th, 2007, 06:54 PM

I am going to order one of these holsters and wanted to know if anyone here has one. My concern with #14, http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/14.htm, is that if I wear it as a pancake holster, the the leather will distort at the belt slot and then dig into my side when I wear it IWB. My concern with the #2, http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/2.htm, is how those IWB straps attach and are they comfortable. I just called fist but they were closed for the day. I am also thinking of getting the holster with the kydex lining, they call them "hybrid". They will make any of there leather holsters with a kydex lining. Has anyone bought one of these?

I can speak for the #14. It is as comfortable holster as I have worn either IWB or OWB. I don't quite understand your "digging into your side" concern but can tell you it's never been an issue with my #14. I'm very pleased with that holster by the way.

Personally I don't like the way those straps work for the OWB on the #2. Maybe it would work fine, but wearing OWB I want lots of security. I can speak for the #14. I have one for my 4-inch revolver and absolutely love it. I have it on now OWB and I literally forget it's there. I've only wore it IWB a few times and it was as comfy as it gets. I understand the concern you have, but I just don't see it happening.

I personally think the #9 FIST is the most comfortable for my small frame.

It looks especially good with that sweeet custom Ruger.
