As I said in my thread about needing the new belt, I have been reassigned and don't where the uniform anymore. All of the plain clothes assignments I had worked before were temporary and usually done wearing jeans and such. Now I'm wearing dress slacks everyday.
I have had quite the holster trek this week. The first couple of days I used my Uncle Mike's kydex paddle holster. It's grat with jeans anf my double thick 1.75" belt, but it doesn't work that good with slacks and 1.25" belt. Plus, it put a small scratch on my pretty new belt, and we just can't have that.
So, I tried a leather paddle holster (Bianchi I think) we had in inventory, but I didn't like it at all. It hung out away from the body and wasn't all that secure on the belt, and it didn't put the pistol where I wanted it.
I use my Uncle Mike's kydex IWB holster for a couple of days. It woorked okay, and it would do in a pinch, but it also is better with jeans than slacks.
Today I swapped the paddle holster in on a leather pancake holster made by Gould and Goodrich. It works okay, and I'll keep this one, but I am still considering getting a nice molded leather holster for my issued 4006.
Rafter S Gunleather,
www.raftersgunleather.com , has a nice looking OWB at a good price, and it is probably my first choice.
I really like the looks of the Dillon Master, but they don't offer it for the 4006 in the catalog (anybody know who actually makes it?).
I'm open for suggestions. Others that I have looked at are the Alessi overt and the Desantis speed scabbard. There are also a few Hume holsters that I have inquired about at Gunnersalley.
