Default Hard time finding a 4013 IWB holster

Just bought a minty 4013TSW non-railed model, and I can't find a lefty leather IWB holster for it. Bladetech makes a kydex one. Call me old school, but I don't like Kydex.

I am thinking of going the custom route. If I am going to go custom, I'd rather support a forum member.Does anyone have experience with Side Guard?

Try Bianchi. They make a nice one for around $40 bucks.

Works with the rail free TSW's. I use it for my early production 4513TSW. Should work for your 4013.

I can't recall the model number. I'll look tonight when I get back. Regards 18DAI.

Yep its that time of year again.
Personally I have to have my shirt tucked in. So I'd be looking for a tuckable. Ive made one for myself, (4013tsw no rail) but everything was soooooo thick, I just didnt care for it.

I have an Uncle Mikes and like the material, but there isnt enough on the top end to keep the beaver tail from digging into my side.

Alessi (Alessi Gun Holsters) can make holsters for a 4013TSW. In fact, I have one on order from them right now. They're more expensive than the generic ballistic nylon, but not terribly so. The only drawback is their delivery -- mine's been on order for 8 weeks now.

I hav a 4053 so it's not the same, but Ray at Lobo made something without too much fuss, money or time. He did a good job and he was dealing with an idiot so I am proud of him and his work.

On Bianchi, how secure is the clip on holster? I've only used IWB's with belt snaps.

Side Guard wants $56 shipped and a seven week lead time. Is it worth the wait?

The clip on the Bianchi is VERY secure.

Most times it is easier to remove my belt to take it off rather than pry it off the belt. Regards 18DAI

I have never had a problem. It is fairly hard to get it on, but once there, it doesn't move, and won't pull out unless you work at it.

If you can stand the wait, the Milt Sparks Summer Special II is a fine holster. Just received one for my 3913 a week and a half ago (I ordered it Dec 12!). Having said that, Lobo is much cheaper and quicker. I was ready to order his 1-SL pancake when this arrived:

Take alook at High Noon Holsters. They have many models for 4013. Top shelf products.
