Nelson OWB Holster?

Would really love to try a Nelson OWB holster. I'm looking at his Eagle Defender for my Range Officer Champion 1911. Any comments or feedback on that holster? I understand there's quite a wait for his holsters which I'm OK with. Good craftsmanship takes time from what I gather. This would be my 1st leather holster.

I went with a His Wrangler for my P227, though the Eagle Defender may be my choice for my 92FS. Don't think you could go wrong with either.
Yea from what I've read and seen it looks like any Nelson would be a good choice. I'm looking for a comfortable OWB that I can wear most of the year here in western PA. I wear an untucked shirt about 99% of the time so it looks like the Eagle Defender would fit the bill nicely for comfort and concealability. I've never owned a pancake style holster before.
They both hold the gun pretty close but the Eagle defender holds it the closest to your body, I use both my self.

I am going to be introducing a whole new line based on some western and embossed holsters and belts before to much longer.
I am currently building an embossing machine and working out a few new items.
I am trying to get this setup in my spare time (don't have much at all of that right now lol)

I may be offering Ranger type belts as well depending on how well I can get folks to be accurate on there belt sizes, its much more important on the ranger belts as you have very little wiggle room.

Just placed my order for the Eagle Defender for my RO Champion. Let the wait begin! Don't worry I read the info on the current lead times. It's all good.

Ordered an OWB magazine pouch the other day as well. You can just plop them all in the same package if it make it easier on ya when the last of the two are ready to be shipped. ;)
I didn't notice the name on the order but I will make a note and get them both at the same time my friend.

I'm looking forward to that. I'd like to have some nice leather for my stainless 6" Security Six.

Just received the shipment notification from Nelson on my Eagle Defender!
I just sent you an email, I was going to ship your holster and mag pouch together but my wife didn't attach the mag pouch to your order so I am sending the holster and starting the mag pouch today. So sorry for the mistake.

I responded to your email. No problem at all! I never even carry an extra magazine on me so I'm not missing anything really. ;)

It'll get here when it gets here! Once it gets here then I'll start carrying that extra magazine. One thing at a time!
Nelson Holsters is super quality and top notch service! Fantastic work! You will not be disappointed!

Wait is a hard thing.
