Default Just ordered a NEW offering from Lobo

lobo gun leather - BELT SLIDE MODEL

Just ordered this new offering. Will update as soon as I receive. This quote is from their page but suggest you go there to see pics, etc.

Product development has been completed, and orders are now being accepted.

This very popular style fills the needs of many concealed carry customers at a very economical price!

The Belt Slide style holster features the absolute minimum of leather needed to carry a handgun comfortably, and with good concealment qualities. Pancake-style construction with tunnel-style belt attachments, pulling the holstered handgun snugly into the user's side, and allowing the cover garment to glide over the holstered handgun easily.

PRICED AT $50.00!

Each holster is cased and blocked by hand for a proper fit. Made for 1.5" belt width.
Hammer shield or slide shield $6.00
Suede lining $25.00
smooth lining $30.00

Available in tan, cordovan brown,walnut, russett and black
PLEASE NOTE: The Belt Slide model holds the weapon with the muzzle extending below the open holster bottom. Handguns with post-style front sights and high front sights in general may not be suitable for carry in this style of holster.
 
Standard cant is approximately 15 degrees butt-forward, intended for wear just behind the strong-side hip.

Howdy, TinMon. I love new holster designs, actually created a dozen or more (a few of which were actually successful in the marketplace).

The Belt Slide Model is actually a rather old design, basically my presentation of a style offered by several other companies as a "one size fits many" for which I expanded the envelope a bit and actually form-fitted these to specific handguns, as well as adapting tunnel-loop belt attachment points. As I recall, the Belt Slide Model was first offered about 25 years ago, and it was included on the original Lobo Gun Leather website when launched in 2008. Thousands have been produced over the years.

As the website description indicates, I viewed this design as a minimalist approach suitable for those having a need for concealed carry without a lot of bulk or major concerns about retention. While I ran the company the Belt Slide Model was offered with no options whatsoever, as a very inexpensive alternative for those requiring it.

Since my retirement the Fedders family has expanded on the product line, including offering a number of options within the Belt Slide Model. Glad to see this offering, as many folks will benefit from these options.

Best regards.

Yep, been CC/OC for decades. Seen it but have never purchased one before. All I meant by the title is that it was - as the website states - "Product development has been completed, and orders are now being accepted"..... New for us through Lobo
