I need help finding a holster

Smokin Joe · 03-26-2005, 19:40

I'm looking for an IWB holster with a thumb break for my Kimber U.C. (thread here )

I have googled and checked every reference I can think of to find one but can't. Anyone have any suggestions where I can get one? If not anyone know someone who does custom Kydex or leather holsters?

Thanks for any help.

Check out Andrew's Custom leather at www.andrewsleather.com . They are about 20 min from my house. I have two of their holsters, one IWB, one on the belt. Their work is FANTASTIC! Mine are made of Tiger Shark. They are like a work of art. They will customize any of their setups for your liking. I cannot say enough good things about these guys.

What I use do not have "Thumb Breaks", but they work very well.
FIST K1/w I/O adapters Kydex Holster or a Milt Sparks Horsehide Versa Max 2 IWB.

I don't know if this will work for you but it is an IWB with a thumb break. It works with the Kimber Ultra Carry II so it might with the CDP.

If that doesn't work you can give one of the custom leather guys a call and see if they can make you a one off. I have the numbers for a couple of them if you are interested.

I did a google search and came up with this from DeSantis and they make one for the CDP.

Perferably Kydex, but at this point either/ or.

Thank you everyone for the reply's
I forgot to state I'm also looking for belt loops like these: http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/20.htm

My intent is for very good retention. I have had that pistol come out of 2 different IWB hoslters when it shouldn't have.

So my only solution is to go with a thumb break.

AM, I really like the K1 w/o you got, I will be calling them on monday to see if they can put a thumb break on it. If not Ryan I'm ordering one off of your suggestion.

Thanks again everyone, I very much appericate it.

I'm also open to anymore suggestions you all may have.

Joe

SJ - Check out FIST Holsters. I saw them at the SHOT Show and it looked quality. What brought them to mind in your case is their laminated leather/kydex holsters. Looks like the best of both worlds. Google search got this - first hit:

http://www.gunnersalley.com/category....fistholsters/

I can't find the actual web address anywhere in their catalog but this site has good info and will probably get you there.

They make one for the Kimber Compact that should fit. I'm getting a bunch of Bladetech holsters but they're for utility use, not fancy at all. FWIW - Peregrino

I second the FIST.

NDD,

Sorry for chiming in late on this one, but I never saw this thread.

If you do a search (not being an ass, I don't know how to link to it) you'll find that I did a brief review of the G-Code drop leg rig that I got through High Speed Gear.

Like it say's in the review, I've read of some guys having issued with the locking mechanism. But I, nor anyone I know, has had any problems.

I've never used their OWB holsters.

I second this! Fantastic products and I cannot see myself using any other holsters -- especially for IWB. The McDanial II is a marvel of functionality. From the thumbbreak options, to the adjustible angles of the belt loop, to the fact that it won't collapse after the sidearm is drawn (enabling one hand holstering)... I have a couple and love them. Been carrying for 12 years now and tried several types/brands... none come close IMHO.

I am a customer for life!

Also, his shoulder rig is the best I have seen with the strap across the back to stabilize it (w/o having to anchor it to your pants), and the various options for the off-side (multiple mags, backup gun, knife, etc.)

I use the Roto-paddle holster from Fobus (can be used with or without leg rig)and I also use the Safariland 6004, I'm very happy with both. I use a Glock17 in them and they have never faild me

Also I have used the open type leg holster from HSGI, It's good, but I do not recomended it for other than hard field use and airborne ops.. its a bit bulky for me, but its bombproof made...

Edit:Sorry, forgot it was about a IWB holster....

No worries...

lurp PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a video on why you should not use a Fobus holster.

lurp · 05-09-2005, 10:58

Thanks alot for the video ,joe

Dam.. I never seen this before, now I know why I never will use my fobus roto again... You can die of that shit (if you dont react very fast). Maybe, I use it for practice only

In regards to Andrews Custom Leather, I've spent an enjoyable 2 hours of my evening so far watching him work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQca4DpZrgY
