Custom leather holster suggestions

[bblackmoor]

I have a new Walther P99 with a Walther laser sight. Here is what it looks like (although I am having the slide refinished in brushed chrome -- I will post new pictures when that is done!):



I have looked all over for an off-the-shelf holster for this weapon, and I have not been able to find one. I think I will have to have one custom made. Well, if I have to have it custom made, I figure I will model it after my current favorite holster, which is a Gould leather holster, OWB pancake style. Here is what it looks like:




I love this holster because it fits well to my body, it conceals well, the thumb strap is sturdy and feels solid, and the pistol (a Ruger P95, in this case) fits it like a snug-fitting glove.

So my question is: who does work like this, and does it well? Preferably, it would not cost as much as the pistol did...

I met this gentleman at a gun show while looking for a holster for my FNP-45. At the time, they were doing custom holster work. Contact them and see if they are able to do what you need. I've been very happy with my OWB holster for the FN.

Incidentally, the reason I am not looking for a kydex holster is because I am concerned about the trigger guard indentation scraping across the side of the laser module.

*sigh*

Nevermind. I was just looking at the pistol, and I realized that the rubber overboot for laser switches sticks out just slightly on each side. They would get torn off the first time the pistol was shoved into a holster.

I guess I won't be carrying it around with the laser device attached. (I wonder how Kate Beckinsale did it?)

I did contact Wild Bill's Concealment, but they don't think they can do what I ask. However, I did find a few potential holsters from Walther and Safariland.

It appears I have the choice of this holster from Earl's (the image is left hand, but according to the site it is available in right hand), or this holster from Safariland. They also carry one that drops straight down from the belt, and one that straps to the thigh, but I am interested in the higher-ride version -- although I confess the thigh strap version appeals to the Han Solo in me.

Any opinions on Safariland?

According to Earl, the leather Walther holster will not fit a BA-7 laser device (which is what I have).

The Factory German Walther Modell P99 laser holster will not accept the BA7.
Sorry.
Sincerely, Earl

So I am down to either that Safariland holster, this holster I found from Fobus, or a generic nylon holster from Uncle Mike.

I am going ahead and ordering the Fobus holster, for now. If I do not like it, I will try the Safariland. A generic nylon holster will be my last resort.
