New Slim Holster

[mike6642]

this is slim holster for bursa 380, this is a improvement over the first one, the straps are stitched in place so as not to move, gun fits nice and tight thanks to the feedback from members on this forum.

mike6642, it is an improvment over the first. The stitch line is much closer to the gun. You should have a bit better retention. The only thing I see that I would question and it may just be the angle of the picture. When you go to get a grip on a firearm to unholster it you want to be able to get a full and complete grip. You should not have to reposition the hand or wrap fingers around after the fact. The clearence between the grip and the top of the holster looks a little close.

Thanks for the feedback,other forum members felt that the gun sits to high and should be lower in the holster,but you can easily grip the gun with this position that's why I made this style.the holster hides well. The style only works on small guns. I see what you mean though , next time i'll angle the gun forward a bit.

I sincerely hate to be a harsh critic, . . . but if I see what I think I see, . . . that simply will not work.

First, . . . it looks as though the loops are attached only at the bottom by the snaps, . . . which will allow it to roll out away from your body if it is worn on the right hand side of the body. It would dump the gun out on the pavement.

Worn on the left side, . . . the loops would be on the outside, . . . with the holster between the belt and the britches, . . . and I'm guessing that it more than likely would squirt up and out of the holster.

I say that because I have owned a Bersa for a number of years, . . . and it is not an easy weapon for which to make holsters.

Second, . . . the snaps are on the bottom, . . . any serious resistance to the weapon coming clear, . . . the snaps could undo, . . . allowing you to present both a gun and a holster to your attacker.

I hope what I am seeing is wrong, . . . but from the angles presented in the pictures, . . . it looks frankly like a wasted exercise.

May God bless,

Dwight

Dwight,

the straps are stitched in place so as not to move,

[mike6642]

Those are good points,straps are stitched in place, the first time I saw the guy on youtube demonstrate the holster I said yeah right,but I said let me try it and see.the holster works well for small guns.your right about the bursa,if you got some scrap leather try it,that's what I did,the first one was made of horse.

The straight hang and anything else that points the barrel forward makes it difficult to expose the grip properly and keep the grip frames close to the body. It comes to manipulating the belt attachments whether they are slots or loops.

This looks to be bulky but it hides very well under almost any cover garment and protrudes no more than any pancake.

I really like that holster,I'm going to try that style on my mp40. Thank you red cent fir that post.

Nice job on the stitch line and dye work, looks good. If the design works for you, that's great. I like to design my holsters so they drop away from the grip.

great improvement from the previous. Like Snubby said, if it works for you, then great. The only thibg I would have done is to give a little more clearance on the grip side. Your design its flat on top and close to the grip unlike Red's holster. Look how much space he has between the grip and the leather, it makes unholstering easier.
