Default F/S Mitchell Leatherworks ARG - Mother's Day Price Reduction @ $65

When he first entered into the holster making business premier leather craftsman Mitch Rosen went under the patented the name ‘Mitchell Leatherworks’.

This ARG (Ayoob Rear Guard) was made during the time he used that name prior to going with his current business name of ‘Mitch Rosen Extraordinary Gunleather, LLC’.

Best quality cowhide with stitched sight rails.

Although still marketed as the ARG it now stands for “American Rear Guard”.

Years ago I ordered this ARG and also a 5JR for a 4053. This ARG has been used very little and is in very good shape as the pictures show. (The 5JR has been used frequently for years and also looks pretty much like it just came out of the package, a testament to Mitch’s quality.)

This holster is marked for a 4013. But it also will fit other S&W 3rd generation pistols nicely as the accompanying pictures show.

It will accommodate up to a 1 1/2” belt.

From a nonsmoking home.

From his web site:
“An Inside-the- Waistband holster with an offset attachment loop, the ARG is reinforced at the top with double leather and steel, thus facilitating ease of one-handed reholstering. Stitched sight rails ensure that front sights will not pull leather. The ARG does away with the excess bulk typically associated with inside-the- waistband holsters. The ARG features a radical rearward muzzle rake. You can wear it with a tailored suit, and it will NOT print. The belt loop is stitched on and very snugly fit to the dimensions of the belts which I offer. The butt of the handgun is as snug to the body as possible. There is no better inside-the- waistband holster available ... and none more concealable.”

*We have re-named this holster to ‘American Rear Guard’ in honor of the victims and heroes of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This holster was formerly named ‘Ayoob Rear Guard’ after the gunwriter who first suggested that I create a holster with an offset belt loop.”

Current list is $161 shipped.

I will sell this fine example of Mitch’s craftsmanship for $65 shipped Priority Mail to the lower 48.

Preferred payment method is Bank Draft or Postal MO. Will be shipped next business day following receipt of payment.








S&W 3953


S&W 4053


S&W 4046


S&W 1086

Thanks
James

gasaman;
As I do not have that particular pistol to try I have no idea if the holster would be an acceptable fit or not.

The four pistols I show will fit it. Of course the 'snugness' varies somewhat and one must decide how exact a fit they will be satisfied with.

As it is an IWB holster you can 'adjust' the snugness by simply tightening your belt, if that is acceptable unto you.

Sorry that I can not give you a positive answer either way.

FYI:
4053 Slide Width - .980"
4053 Frame Width - .795"

3953 Slide Width - .915"
3953 Frame Width - .732"

4046 Slide Width - .925"
4046 Frame Width - .860"
Since the holster is marked 4013 (4053 same size slide & frame) you should be able to judge fit with a CS45 by comparing its measurements to those listed.

JT thank you for your measurements but I don't own a micrometer so I can't measure my slide. Maybe someone out there can chime in w/ some input.

gasaman;
For what it's worth Fobus lists the same holster for the CS45 & the 4013.

SG21RH S&W 3913, 3913TSW, 3914, 3919, CS9, 4013, 5904, 5906, 6906 STD. SERIES, 910, 915, 908V/ CS45 - PADDLE HOLSTER - RIGHT HAND

I don't doubt that the holster would fit your pistol. It's just a matter of how much of a 'perfect' fit you are after and if you would be satisfied with the fit.

As I said in the original sales post I also bought a 5JR at the same time I bought this ARG. I have used that holster for a 4046, 4053 and a 3953 and have been perfectly satisfied with the retention and presentation of the different pistols from it. Obviously the 'snugness' is different with the different slide widths. But as I don't plan on being turned upside down and shaken it was never a concern to me.

Some may be satisfied if a holster retains the firearm securely and offers a smooth presentation from it.

Others may demand that the holster is 'boned' (fitted) for their specific firearm.

Most of the big / non-custom holster makers have a frame / slide size model that they will use for various models withing a certain range.

I would suspect that the CS45 is pretty close to a 4013 / 4053 in frame / slide profile. But I DON"T KNOW that for a fact.
