AlZilla Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 Below is a sreenshot from jeffreycustomleather.com of a holster they offer that rides between the belt and the pants. I'm wondering if anyone has made or used something along these lines. I'm going to see what I can engineer. For us fat guys, an OWB holster tends to tip out at the top. At least for this fat guy. I could see something like this being advantageous. Probably need to keep the mouth above the belt so the mouth doesn't crush when the gun is drawn. Galco offers one: https://www.galcogunleather.com/jak-slide-2-0-belt-holster_8_1176_1493.html A search for the phrase "Holster between the belt and pants" turns up some discussion around the net.

wizard of tragacanth Posted July 18 Report Posted July 18 A BTB (or BTP) holster is my next project. I have never used one, nor made one before. It is an experiment. I am making it for a friend who said that his "muffin-top" causes too much tilting outward with his Avenger style holster. I have always wanted to try this style, so this is the perfect opportunity. I saw that jefferycustomleather style quite some time ago and appreciated its' simplicity and elegance. Love the look. However, I worry that a muffin-top may play the devil with a snap closure, so I will be going with a sewn-on loop, such as that offered by Mitch Rosen. https://mitchrosen.com/products/straightman?_pos=3&_sid=afaeaeaf8&_ss=r This will be a straight-drop style for a Sig P365.

I haven't sat down with this project yet.

wizard of tragacanth Posted 22 hours ago Report Posted 22 hours ago (edited) AIZilla... Did you ever work up your BTB? This is what I came up with. Works great for me. Very comfortable and concealable. Edited 22 hours ago by wizard of tragacanth typo Quote
AlZilla Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Posted 22 hours ago Oh, yeah, I remember this from the stitching question. Very nice. I thought that belt loop was odd but didn't make the connection. No, I've been spending my time tearing servo motors apart. We're also on the tail end of a heat wave and no a/c in my craft room. I definitely need to pick a gun and get on this. Maybe my PK380 would be a good candidate.
