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.”
