Default Grrrrr. New holster is all wrong!!

Ok, so during the labor day sale, I ordered a new holster for my 627-5. I specified the make and model, that the trigger guard was to be enclosed and that I wanted it lined.

And this....is what I got!!! AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Well, if it is not want you want, see if you can send it back and exchange it. Nice lookin' holster, BTW, but I understand your point of view about wanting the trigger guard covered.

Yeah, it's nice. Could probably fit an L frame in there pretty comfortably. I contacted them but alas, no response yet.

I would be mad too, it looks horrible. There must have been a mix up looks like it's for a snub not for a long barrel. Who would want the barrel sticking out? Send them a pic so they can see whats going on. Where did you get it from so we know who not to order from. Looks like one more for the holster bin.

Lobo Leather-I have never been disapointed.

I got it from Texas Shoemaker & Sons. I have a couple of duty holsters and similar gear from them and have always been pleased. We'll see if they make it right.

Man, sorry you got the wrong holster... probably a mix up at the factory. I hope they make it right for you.

I am sure it will be rectified soon. I have a holster on order with Lobogunleather and Bell Charter Oak Holsters. Both of them are forum members, both vets and both cops. They both have fair prices and quality crafted holsters.

A win, win, win situation for me.

They'll make it right, no doubt. I really like Ray's(Lobo) holsters, he's never disappointed me in 6 tries.

Hmmm, what religion is 'livid'?

Oh - back to the Lobo Leather work - it is super. Here is my 'short barrel' pancake OWB holster - one of my 2 5/8" PC627's in the holster while my other one is along side. To be blunt - this is about as inexpensive as you can get. With shipping - and perhaps a 'Happy Meal', you'd still have half a C-note left. Pretty decent work - as good as some I have seen at 2-3 times the cost. My wait was a few weeks - not bad! Great fit.



Do get something better than a $10 Wally World leather belt!

Another vote for LOBO. I have 3 of them now, and the next time I need one it will be a LOBO.
