Hi Folks,

I've got a Kel-Tec P-11 ordered and it should be here in a couple of days. I've been looking at IWB holster options and recently came across UBG holsters website and was pretty impressed with the apparent quality of Nate's work, and product line. I'm particularly interested in his Canute and Striker models.

I'm new here, so just a little backgroung on myself. I'm a former LEO and have been cc'ing some kind of pistol or revolver for the past 25 yrs. or so, and as many folks, have also tried quite a few different holsters during that time. Of the IWB holsters I've used, I've found Milt Sparks VM-II to be my favorite and most comfortable to date and it is what my Kimber CDP II current EDC gun rides in. But there are a lot more holstermakers out there who's products I'm not familiar with, certainly not trying to take anything away from MS products, I think they're great and love them.

That said, I'm always open to considering new makers/products etc. and was interested in hearing the opinions of some of you folks who are using Nate's Canute,or, Striker holsters.

I've tried Crossbreeds Supertuck (for a S&W 642) and they just don't work FOR ME. I'm not attempting to badmouth Mark's products by any means, they're good holsters at a very reasonable price, and the following they have speaks volums for their popularity. I just can't get the cant (punn intended) i need out of them, no matter how I adjust it. Plus, I just prefer leather.

One question I had for those that may own a Canute / Striker is if you have the re-enforced mouth option, and do you think it is necessary on these particular holsters?

Sorry for being so long winded, but I get that way talking 'bout "gun stuff" .... just ask my wife

Appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks,

YB

I have been using a UBG Striker 1 for about 3 years. I carry my Kahr P45 through the spring/summer/fall whether I am wearing jeans, khakis or shorts.

Good quality, reasonable turn times, fair prices, great guy to work with.

Probably not as popular as you originally thought otherwise there might be more posts. ;)

I don't spend all day looking at holsters or anything, but I can honestly say I don't recall ever even seeing a picture of one.

Orionengnr, Thanks for the informative reply, I appreciate the info. It appears the Striker rides a bit lower than does the Canute, how do you like the height your p45 sits at in the Striker?

insolentshrew,

If you were to do some research and visit some of the various forums, you may find your statement to be contrary. But thank you for your very informative reply:rolleyes:

I like it very well. It tucks in well, and the grip is exposed so I can get a secure grip for presentation.
