Default 3913 Ladysmith/NL holsters

What holsters are you Ladysmith/NL owners using, particularly OWB? I've got one coming and I need to gear up for it.

I just got a 3913LS and thought I'd try to pocket carry it.

Turns out DeSantis Nemesis comes in a size for "Compact autos" like Shields.

It fits the Lady just fine.

Kramer #2 or Milt Sparks VM-2 for IWB use.....Lobo Gunleather for OWB...
Many times a holster for a Sig 239 fits like it was made for the 3913.

3913 NL with Mitch Rosen Upper Limit holster. Right Hand. MY FAVORITE. I have the same setup for a SIG P239 that I've been carrying more than the 3913NL.

Express Line = less expensive and faster delivery.

The Upper Limit rides higher and closer to your body than the Premier.

3913 NL with Mitch Rosen Premier Full Detail. Right Hand.
Easy on/off the belt with the snaps.
Full Detail = superior quality = higher price.
However, I've had the magazine holster come unsnapped and fall off, usually when getting in or out of a car.

John, is the Upper Limit EXP made for the forward slant of the LS/NL and does it retain the weapon well even though it doesn't have full detail?

It fits tightly. They also sell a bottle of "Leather Lightning", a liquid that you can use to coat the inside of the holster to make it more 'slick'. It was very tight when first received, I used a small amount of Leather Lightning. Retention is very good and still tight, the 'full detail' just makes them look better - I don't think the full detail option will make retention better.

I'm not worried about the pistol falling out, it's tight.
