First CCW holster!....for the gun I dont own yet...
I bought a Don Hume 715 IWB holster today for 30 bucks plus shipping. It will hold my Walther PPS that I plan on buying next week when my license comes in! Anyone own one of these holsters? It looks pretty nice and for thirty bucks I figure I won't be losing out if I dont like it.

Our state is different. We don't have a "CCW" license. You can apply for a "Class A- any lawful purpose/license to carry" or a Class B which allows you to purchase and transport and what not, but it can't be high capacity and you cant carry it concealed. I know, wierd laws...lol

Congrats on the purchase...I love my PPS. Just got it last week as well.
I'm carrying it in a cheapo blackhawk IWB holster until my Crossbreed supertuck comes in.
On a side note, I do have the same Don Hume 715 IWB holster that you ordered, but it's for my XD9 subcompact. Very nice quality, especially for the price. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have an adjustable cant. It's a straight drop in, which on my frame, is sometimes challenging to conceal.

Well maybe I'll end up reconsidering...I got an e-mail from Don Hume today updating my order: Out of stock....estimated 12-14 weeks!!!! I ended up cancelling the order because I need a holster before then. Let me know how the supertuck works for you. Maybe I'll end up going that route.
On a different note, it's nice to hear someone else likes the PPS. I fell in love with it at the fun store and just had to have it.

Yeah, I love the PPS. It's funny, if you look at the picture, you'd think the PPS and XD are the same size, but when you hold them and try to conceal them they are VERY different. For me anyways, the slim profile helps conceal it. I'll post pics wearing the supertuck when I get it.
ps-just bought another PPS mag today. Had slight sticker shock. $50? ouch. haha

wow. that is a big ouch! I made sure mine is coming with the carry mag I want, but I'm gonna try to haggle in an extra! lol. I ended up buying a Galco stow-n-go holster just to serve as a temporary carry holster until I can get a supertuck or have something made. For 22 bucks why not.

I have one for my Ruger, I don't use it much living in a free state where OC is legal, but it works excellent
Another great IWB holster I found on eBay from eBay Store - THE HOLSTER STORE INC: GLOCK, SIG SAUER, TAURUS
