Nice rig! I happen to get my hands on one of Tim's OWB Snap holsters. His detailing rivals that of my Bulman holster. No joke...

I'm just going by what I've heard and read across the 'net here, but that doesn't surprise me one bit. This evening, I'll shoot a few close-ups to show the level of detailing.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't even make this kind of post as I'm not one to "brag" about new acquisitions or anything like that. But I realized, in my original search, there weren't many if any photos of Tim's holsters actually being worn. There are a couple/few on his site, but I thought it might be helpful to someone down the road to see his holster being worn (e.g. how high it rides, approximate cant, etc.).

I have Tim's IWB for my P2K. Great quality. I'm thoroughly satisfied.

Here's a closer look at the holster itself:

It looks good.

FWIW, I often cannot tell anything about the posted picture as they are usually much too dark. I have found that I can save it to the desktop, and then open it with Microsoft Picture Manager (other applications would work as well) and edit by increasing the brightness it will bring out the details so that I can make some judgment about it.

Regards,
Jerry

Jerry,
Unfortunately, that's just the nature of this beast (the 'net). What looks really bright on my home monitor may look horribly dark on yours.

Personally, I tend to make my images look a little bright on my home computer, knowing they may be slightly dark on people's. The reason is quite simple - you can easily lighten it up and still maintain a decent level of detail, but if I brighten it up just a little too much and blow out the highlights, you're not going to be able to darken it and get that detail back.

HTH and thanks for your patience!

Hi echo,
I realize that, and do not know of a way to prevent it. I am sure I could not do it. I have noticed that on many holster sites there is the same situation.
For awhile I just gave up and ignored the photos, but one day it dawned on me that with the digital photos I could edit them so that I could see them.

I thought I might be able to help others with the same problem.
Thanks for the comment, and I know it was not meant to criticize.

Regards,
Jerry
