OWB Holster? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

72shorty · 05-15-2005, 02:18 PM

Can anyone recommend a good OWB holster? I want leather and must be able to accomodate either of my .40's in Service/SC so I am thinking open bottom. I like the looks of the pancake style or possibly something similar. Would like to keep it at or below $50. I spent the good money on my daily carry IWB but want an OWB for occassional carry.

Thanks.

check out kramer holsters www.kramerleather.comthey make some REALLY nice stuff
i was at the range last week and one of the other shooters recognized and appreciated my iwb carry as a kramer in one glance....
they're not cheap, but extremely well made....just my opinion

I like High Noons slide guard.

I bought one for my Tactical and found out my Service and Subcompact fit too.

I like the G-code belt holster, at least for range work. I prefer more forward cant for carry, but it may suit you just fine.

I have a FIST #8 for my HS and love it. Very well built leather holster.

Hmmm Ken was that the Trophy from Memphis?

I am fond of El Paso Saddlery's #77 Tortilla holster. They are VERY well made and will run you about 55 dollars. Wait time is about 3-5 weeks, but you'll be getting a nice piece that was hand made, when you ordered it, not sitting in plastic and mass made.

I have two #77s, one for my 1911s and one for my Hi-Power and I love them.

I currently have a kydex for my XD-40, but am going to order two #77s; once for the Xd and once for my Sig 220 real soon.

Check out El Paso Saddelry...these guys make fantastic leather goods and have done so for over 100 years and know what good gunleather is supposed to be like!
