I picked up my custom holsters from Erik yesterday morning. To say the least I am impressed. He is a great guy, a great attitude, great service and a great product.

I handed him my Browning BDA .380 and some special requests and this is what he came up with. He said, if it takes off, I get to name it. I am still working on it.

I have never added pictures to a forum before. So if it doesn't work, sorry. My wife, who isn't feeling well, took the pictures of me wearing the holster. They aren't exactly what I was hoping for. I'll try those again when she is feeling better.

Thanks Srigs!

Is there a way to move the cellphone holder "forward" of the weapon? Seems the phone would be in the way of accessing the weapon.....but, forward would position the phone more to the front pocket and leave the weapone slightly rear of the hip.

Just a thought.....

At first glance, I think the forward cant (grip angle) would be difficult to attain with the holder in front of the firearm. The gun would want to pivot on that single attachment point. The way it is now, if it pivots, it's going to pivot toward the front and the firing grip. With the clip in front of the gun, it would rotate back ... at least if worn strong side near the hip. But that's just a guess. On a smaller, lighter gun, it might be doable. With a horizontal cell phone holster as the cover for the clip, it may be less of an issue.

It's a very neat design well executed.

Now you just have to explain why you keep your cell phone on your back. :wink:

Well, it sits near my hip so I feel it vibrate through the bone. In my pocket, I just don't feel it. It's this or explain the "dukes of Hazard" ring tone :-)

A couple things

The phone swivels in this arragement. So it is easy to push it or rotate it out of the way- really with out making an effort for that specifically. To remove the phone from the hardware, you need to rotate it upside down and pull it up and out.

I like that the phone sits back on my waist. You may have noticed I am not exactly thin. When the phone is right on my side I run it into everything. When I am sitting, sometimes its annoying. If it is, I put it in the console of my car, or set it on my desk.

So far so good.

Looks like +1 for looks, +1 for workmanship, and +1 for design to me

Saturday was darn busy and Sunday was steady so much more relaxed. I enjoyed meeting many of the forum members.


Thanks Bob :D
