got some new goods from don hume for my PT111. i think the goal is to make that my primary everyday carry (vs. my taurus .38 and XD .45). the ones i have are below (cut and paste from donhume.com), i'll get some pictures up as soon as i can.






i got the last one in black as well, however.

they appear to be fantastic quality. they ride very tight to the body. really snug fit on the firearm, but i'm sure that'll break itself in.

Nice! Now, did you have the PT111 before you took my class, or did I turn you to the dark (Brazilian) side?

to be completely honest, you had something to do with that acquisition. the taurus .38 is great cuz you can just toss it in your pocket, but it is only 5 rounds.... the XD is a madhouse of .45 and amazing followup shot ability, but it is a tad big and heavy (it's not a full 5" inch, it's a 4 inch compact, but still). i wanted something inbetween the two. small enough, with plenty of rounds. the PT111 was a logical choice, and i knew it shot well since you let me fire yours. i was hoping for one in .45 but a great price on a 9mm came up, so i snatched it.

this dang holster seems great so far. i'm only a half day into wearing it, but time will tell. i also plan on using the open top during the combat focus class next month, putting 1500 rounds down range should give the holster a good test.

After a few weeks of wearing these new little pieces around I'm quite impressed. They right extremely tight to the body with no wigglin' around. Also high enough that a t-shirt covers them well. The build quality is superb and I see zero signs of any imperfections or early failures. I'm pretty rough on holsters and routinely wind up rolling on the ground wearing them. These are taking the abuse in stride.

What is particularly impressive to me is the price and availability of don hume goods. they are very reasonably prices, and have among the shortest wait times of high quality all leather holsters. I would recommend them to any seeking a nice holster. I have a stack of their catalogs if anyone would like one.

Srigs, beware, you're next on my holster abuse list. I'll be looking for some goods very soon..... I'm quite excited about adding some local goods to the collection!!!!

Where are they made, someone was saying he was having them sewn offshore....

i'm not sure on this one. i wouldn't speculate it's overseas, but if it is, i'm awed by the quality. i'm not accustomed to seeing imported goods of fine quality.

I have always like the Don Hume holsters. Especially the JIT Slide.

Don makes good looking rigs.
