I decided for my 30th birthday this year, I was going to buy myself my first "real" leather holster. For the better part of a week, I clicked and clicked, searched and read, studied and contemplated ... and decided to call Tim Thurner at TT Gunleather.
Honestly, I didn't really know what I was looking for in a holster maker - or what I'd get for that matter - but he supports emergency responders and military. Given the opportunity, I will support any business that supports me, no matter if I have to spend more doing so. In this case, even without any discount, Tim's wares are VERY competitively priced.
Anyway, so the end of May I called Tim and talked to him for about 30 minutes or so which ended with me placing an order for a reinforced mouth IWB holster and a mag/light combo pouch.
For the combo pouch, I originally was going to stuff it with a Surefire G2 with a clicky tailcap which is a bit larger than the torch's main tube, and Tim said it would be no problem to accommodate this odd-ball size.
As the weeks went by, I started getting antsy and thinking ... A LOT. After pondering quite a bit, I ended up changing my order to a regular OWB holster and dual mag pouch.
Without further adieu:
(You're not going crazy, I'm a lefty
)
The holster's workmanship and attention to detail are amazing! Weapon fit was TIGHT to say the least, so I used some wax paper wrapped around my Bobtail Commander for about an hour and a half or so to loosen it up a smidge. For many, the holster would probably still be a bit too tight, but I much prefer a holster with too much rather than not enough retention. I'm sure it will loosen up just a little bit more as I wear it.
Even though this is my first "real" leather holster, I can tell quality when I see it, and Tim's work is beautiful! Put another way, I don't even think I need to try another holster maker ... he's earned my repeat business as long as he wants it.
