Default A Couple New Lobos - K 2" and J 3"

The Lobo Gun Leather offset clip is my favorite J Frame, Colt D Frame, and Kimber K6xs appendix carry holster. It's perfect.

Today, a couple more Lobos arrived. Super excited. These fit 2" K (Model 10 or 12) and 3" J Frame. Look forward to putting them in the rotation.

* I need another for 2.5" Model 66/19

I have several of the Lobo Leather holster and belt combos, all of them are great products.
Enjoy yours.

I have one of those for a 3” J frame. The off-set belt clip is genius.

I just purchased a Harry's Icon 2.0. It is kydex but a really good design with double clips and a wing. The problem I have seen with the models with a single clip is that the holster moves around and doesn't stay in the same place. Does this Lobo stay put?

While most people enjoy Milt and I get why, I personally think Lobo is the best bang for your buck in terms of cost and wait time. My custom job got done in about a month.

I have two Lobo's, one Ray era, and one post-Ray era, and they are both excellent products. My next purchase would be from them.

Yes. I find that it stays in place very well. Never been an issue. The clip holds firm. Clip's position below the grip holds it tight against the body. No printing.

Thank you! Over a year of scratching my head, pulling out my hair, frustrations with clip manufacturers, prototypes, testing, revisions before the first piece made it to market. I am happy to see it continues to fill the need for many people.

Pre-production testing taught me that this design works well with the smaller and lighter handguns. Larger and heavier handguns generally require more stabilization to avoid shifting position. I think that this is explained on the webpage featuring this holster design, and I recall turning down a number of requests before retiring from the business.

Bought this J frame many moons ago when Ray was the boss.

The belts they make are truly first rate. I wear my lobo belt teaching all the time because it looks and feels as good as it functions while carrying.
