Default CS45 Holster Wish List - FREE Bulldog for helping me!

I have a wish list for a good OWB holster for my CS45. I do not yet have my CHP, so I'm looking for a comfortable, secure OWB holster for OC here in NC. Furthermore, I'm left handed, so taking the holster off my belt via slides/slots every time I get into my vehicle is not an option.

Wish List:
- Snaps to belt or over waistband for OC (no belt slots)
- Formfitting for CS45 (or near exact fit)
- Thumb break
- Acceptable for OC
- Must be left handed

FREE: If you help me find the right holster, I'll give you a right handed Bulldog Cases holster free of charge. I'll even pay regular CONUS shipping.
(Color: Tan, Hand: Right, Code: OG-HT-LTHMLDBLT-MLT-RS, MPN: MLT-RS, UPC: 672352008234)

Right now there's a dummy gun of a CS45 that I can get from ebay. I know the color of the plastic doesn't matter when molding leather but for some reason they made it pink.
Anyway, shouldn't be too much trouble to stitch up what you're looking for. Maybe pretty it up some for oc.
If you're interested, pm me.

Although the Bladetech does not have a thumb break, the retention can be adjusted. I recently bought a paddle model for my CS45.

I really like the XST RTI Kydex Holster with RTI Paddle adaptor. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks like it might be rough on the gun's finish.

I'm also not sure about paying $88 for a holster that's closest fit "kinship" to my CS45 is the Glock 29/30.

Do you have any photos? I'd like to see both sides. Also, does the Bladetech model you bought meet the other wish list item of snap or over the waistband, rather than belt slots?

Char1ie,
Here are a few photos of the Bladetech. This meets all your requirements except for the thumb break. Because it has a paddle attachment, the paddle goes inside your pants above the waist. The twin tabs go beneath the belt, and secures the holster to your side.

Some people do not like paddle holsters as it may be too easy for someone to yank it off, but this Bladetech requires a litter finesse to remove. Your need to swing the holster away from the body so that the twin tabs clears the belt and lift up.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi, I'm Ian.

I don't do anything off the shelf that is quick release, but I do have a paddle here I have been meaning to make something with.

I have built a thumb break holster before that's now in daily use by an L.A detective.
