Ross Report post Posted February 1, 2010 This holster was made for concealed carry with the holster itself inside the pants. The two straps loop around the belt and snap closed. The straps are sewn on the bottom to help the straps to lay flat and increase concealment. Wet molding helps to ensure the pistol stays in the holster till needed by holding it with friction. There are also two raised buttons just inside the trigger guard, one on each side, to keep the pistol secure. These two features are such that no retaining strap is needed, so the pistol is available with just a tug. This holster was created for the Sig P220. Does it conceal? It surely does. Wearing even a simple vest, the pistol shows no bulge on the outside yet is easily accessible. Sitting down however does show a slight bulge. This should present no problem as chair backs and sides would prevent the bulge from being visible. With the holster in my hand I can turn it upside down and shake real hard. The pistol does eventually come out, but it takes a lot of shaking. It won't fall out when worn though. Comments welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixer Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Looks good! It kind of reminds me of Galco's "Summer Comfort" holster. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you wet molded the handgun and got even some half baked impressions, . . . that will in just about all cases be plenty enough to aid the "human body pressure" friction to keep the handgun in the holster when it is in the IWB position. Secondly, . . . and seriously more importantly, . . . if you ever make this holster for either a 1911 or a Glock, . . . lose those buttons you talked about, . . . You seriously do not want anything that can trip the trigger on a Glock or a 1911 (or any other semi auto that is not a DA/SA type weapon). The opportunity to send a round out the front of the holster while in your pants can ruin your whole day. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May God bless, Dwight got better than half baked impressions. this holster holds *securely*. and i agree with ye on the second comment. the buttons i put in this holster do not touch the trigger, but i still wouldn't use them on a single action.
