Looking for good leather owb holsters.

Im quite happy with my Lobo Gun Leather holsters. Quality is great, turn around time is about a month and they run around $100 depending on the options

Regarding Scabbard holsters; has anyone tried the Mini?

Yes, I have the Mini. Very comfortable, holds gun secure. I like it.

I make my own leather holsters. When buying one I would suggest at least 9-10 ounce vegetable tanned leather. Lined or unlined (debatable), I make unlined as it's easier and it allows any dirt to not grind onto the surface of the pistol. Lined holsters tend to pick up and hold more fine dirt.

Holsters for the Shield need to not make contact with the magazine release button. The holster should ride just below the button.

Whatever holster you get, a good belt is the key. The thicker the better. I use Dal-Tech belts myself.

I make my own also. I can get what I want without breaking the bank. All my handmade holsters are hot waxed which makes them tough, water proof, and very little wear to the guns.

How do you sew the holster...looks very nice and being able to experiment would be fun.

OWB Holsters

I've had good luck with High Noon snap on. Also with Bullard Leather belt slide.

Two needles after the holes are punched with an awl, or ice pick. They make specific awls for stitching but I like my ice pick better.

^^^I use a drill press for most of mine.

I use a dremel, and bit sometimes for really thick layers. Some people use arbors, I just like poking the heck out of leather with my ice pick.

I picked up a Galco Concealable for my 40c. A local gun store had a clearance sale on them. I paid about $60 for it. I didn't have a holster for it the prices was right & this seemed like a good way to go. I like the way it holds the gun high & it's got the FBI cant

Galco makes a good holster.

Just picked up a Galco Honor Guard. Good holster. Holds my Shield PC 9 close and tight to my side with good retention. Around $80 and American made by an American company if that matters.

I think my next gun belt is going to be from: Tucker Gun Belts | Premium Leather Belts | Tucker Gun Leather

A good friend of mine swears by their holsters and belts.

Lots of options out there that should not be too expensive.

I love my Tucker rig, it's probably the most comfortable one I've had so far. And I really like the way their magazine pouches are angled. It makes it a lot easier to draw from than a regular straight up and down one.

A lot of options and probably all great. I'll throw mine in.

Brigade Custom Holsters | Leather Gun Holsters; Concealed Carry Holstsers and Western Holsters

Bought a holster from them in 2004 for a P99 (when barely anyone else made one for that gun). Had to wait on it, but extremely nice. May have to order one for the Hi Power I just bought.

Albeit, this Tucker rig above me is amazing.
