What's with the holster shortage out there? Same reason as gun/ammo buy ups I guess. Forget ordering a warehoused holster - out of stock. If you don't mind waiting a couple of months for production, www.lonestarholsters.com has a great line of custom made holsters. Most gun fits and great quality work.

I don't see a problem with out of stock holsters. Why wait 2 months for a custom job when you can order one that you know will fit and have it three days later?

Discount Holsters - On sale every day!

I had no problems getting a Galco or DeSantis holster. Both were here within a week.

The worst part about this whole post being started...she bought three holsters from me for resale, then came here and plugged her site to get a 10% discount! Least she coulda done is posted something of substance!

Haven't heard of this one but little matter to me. I DO need a holster for a 7" semi-auto-- Hardin style or cross draw---- ANYONE with a lead to one, PLEASE clue me in. THANKS!!!!!!!

I finally found a holster I want to get, and the one website that has them is sold out. Hopefully, they get more in eventually...

It's a cross draw holster that got high marks from someone on OCDO. I'll PM you a link to it.

Bah. I just found out that the company is not ordering anymore of them, so I'm SOL.

Let me pose the question/description to the masses, and see what people recommend.

To start with, I'm a short, left-handed woman. I carry at 11 o'clock because a vertical draw (like from 9 o'clock) is impossible, even with a snubby - there's just not enough room between waist and armpit. Carrying up front like I do, I can pretty much draw back and present in one motion, if needed.

Basically, what I'm looking for is a left-hand cross draw holster (normally worn on the right). My plan is to wear it strong-side, and the cant would be muzzle-forward - say, 45 degrees from horizontal, maybe a little less. I'm carrying a S&W Model 60 right now, in a Ted Blocker IWB holster, and while it's workable, I think OWB would work better for me. I'm not worried about concealment - I frequently wear big shirts over my t-shirts, so concealment is pretty easy if I really want to. The only other requirements are the holster needs a thumb break, and the trigger needs to be covered by the holster.

I expect custom is going to be the way to go, but since hubby's not all that keen on my carrying to begin with, I don't want to surprise him with a huge bill for a holster . Kellogg Custom Leather has one that could work for about $90, which may be an option.

Any thoughts out there?

In an effort to give folks an idea of what you're looking for... here's a picture of the holster that you were originally looking at today. Maybe pwillis61 (the OP) could make you one like it for a good price?

That first one looks promising (the second one doesn't seem to come in the right size). I wonder what the back looks like - I hope belt slots in various places to accomodate the different angles. I'll have to e-mail them about the sizing - since my J-Frame has a 2 1/8" barrel, I wonder if the 2" holster would work.

Thanks for the heads-up - I'll let you know if I get it, and how it works out.

i ordered a fobus from them directly they are on a 2 month back up she said. But i order 2 day shipping on mine last wednesday should ship it out monday . Yes i sent a e-mail about it she said i got priorty because of the shipping. This was just crazy to me but guess i should have shopped around. Nobody around here had what i needed cause i'm a lefty, which has punished me from baseball to now lol

You say your ordered direct from Fobus?

That seems kinda strange that they're "On a 2-month backup" but since you ordered expedited shipping, you get one? So, they gave you head of line privileges and are holding on to stock? hmm... I guess that means poor retailers are out of luck!

Just out of curiosity - what's the model number on the Fobus that you bought?

it was the "SP11LH SPRINGFIELD ARMORY XD HS 2000 9/357/40 5" 4" - PADDLE HOLSTER - LEFT HAND"
and yes i get mine due to the priorty shipping which was not cheap lol..

but wait i lied to you i just went back and read my responce from them its a 2 week back log not 2 month ooooooppppppsssssss
well i have successfully embarrased my self oh well it aint the first and wont be the last

also sent you a pm Rick

Ahhh...yep, I'm out of stock on that model of paddle holster. I do have one of the same version LH belt holster available though http://all-in-general.com/advanced_sear ... rds=SP11LH

There's no embarassment factor here. Just say what you need to say. We won't laugh much

glad i'm on here and paying attention thats less than i paid so i'll be going there in a week or two for one to hold my p94 in thanks

Argh. It'd be great... except it's not available in left-hand draw.
