Default DS Holsters....

Wanted to show off the beauty Law and order sent to me for my new DS...and my Lobo enhanced pancake for my SP101 fits perfectly!

SD Myers. My first and only BBQ holster!



And my Lobo...please excuse the rough appearance...it wasn't polished as it was a prototype...





For the first time in my life, I don't need to buy any holsters for a new gun...I also have a high noon Mr. Softy from my SP and my dad's 40 year old Stein IWB for the DS. The Stein is at Lobo getting a tune up...before and after pics to follow...

When this gets back from Ray, it will be my primary one for concealed carry under a t-shirt...if you all behave yourselves I will post pics of this Loboized Stein holster.

That Stein holster must be the real deal, judging from the wear.
I'm guessing it must be world-class for comfort. TACC1

Default Nice rigs

Those are some pretty tough options. I can see it now,

Tha'ts how I got it. I don't know if that's factory or not. I guess one could have them installed. I don't recall seeing any other similar grips with the medalions.

http://www.gunauction.com/search/dis...temnum=9602003
Here's another set. I guess it could have been a factory option; I just don't know.


The medallions by themselves are available on ebay.

Well I dont have any of that fancy stuff you "Hollywood" types have

Ive got this on my belt


Inside the waistband tuck able very comfortable, you forget that you wearing it.

It was made for a J-frame but the Cobra fit after it broke in.

Then I have this...
Its almost, well luxurious

They seem hard to find for the DS

Thats because your DS is a pretty girl! My Cobra is an old working girl

BTW, I bought that Renegade after you gave it such a great review

I was going to buy a Galco.

I also have a Galco Shoulder rig for the DS, its got its place. The should rig is marked DS/ Ruger sp101

I'm flattered that you took my advice on the Renegade...the Galco is a great rig too, either way you can't go wrong...but I find the Renegade more concealable with straight leg jeans...btw, the Ds does fit, but it should go a touch lower..as for the DS/SP101, it is amazing how close they are...I can't tell the difference in fit with my Enhanced rig....

I have a nice black Alessi belt..but I find leather gun belts a bit too thick for my tastes..the wilderness belt is plenty rigid but much thinner so it's more comfortable....I have a 1 1/4 inch frequent flyer (pictured) and a 1 1/2 inch instructor's belt...they don't look the greatest, but I always wear my shirts out anyway....

The rig turned out great Sip! It looks comfy too....did you throw a little extra padding under the tshirt so it wouldn't dig in?
