Finally, Something For Myself

[BigRiverLeather]

It hit 80 degrees yesterday here in the Twin Cities. No more sweathirts and jackets to cover my CCW in the office. I'm back to button down shirts and polo shirts for the most part and have to tuck them in.

I haven't made myself a nice carry rig in quite a while as busy as I've been with all the orders so I figured I needed a nice new tuckable and I chose My P220 Carry SAO to be the lucky recipient.

I just got it done last night except I still need to make up some new Velcro clips for my velcro lined belt from The Beltman but the standard clips will do for today.

Comment, questions and suggestions are welcome.

She's already broke in to a very comfortable fit after only a couple of hours this morning. If only I wasn't so self concious about the standard clips. My V-Clips have me spoiled!

Very nice. Does the elephant trim add any stiffness to the holster opening or is it purely decorative? I do like the texture it has.

The elephant is pretty stout, but I don't know if it actually holds any form by itself. This on was backed with 4-5 oz veg that I skived and sanded the edges down to make the elephant thinner where it meets up with the holster. To answer your question, yes, the opening is stiffer for sure.

The holster was made from 7-8oz. From now on I will use 8-9 oz on the back side and 7-8 on the top to help hold the form on the back as well. It formed well, but flexes more than I would like, but I'm VERY picky.

Very nice holster. It's a shame that it has to stay concealed! Wish we had C.C. here in Wisconsin! Maybe when we get rid of our present governor...

Thanks! Yeah, it's my little secret

I'm glad to see Doyle go down the road. CC has been close a couple of times, but when he veto'd it, they came up short of an override by one stinkin vote. CC would be good for business for me here in WI :D
