need custom owb holster for 92FS

OK all you custom holster makers lurking around out there.

Just got a new 92FS and am looking for a right handed OWB holster. Would like one that can be used for both cross draw as well as normal right side draw. Would also consider an IWB holster for small of the back usage. Looking to spend around 150 max. Post pics or websites for me to browse. Also approximate wait times for production.

Thanks. JOE

Always been pleased with Fist

www.fist-inc.com

High quality, and each holster is made to accomodate as much of the customer's wishes as possible. Deliveries for me have averaged around a month, but I haven't ordered anything for a year or so.
Very nice people to deal with.

Take Care

which one of your holsters do you recommend for 92FS size pistols?

I have one or two that I designed around the M9(92F) but I am at about 3-4 weeks wait time right now.

Thanks, for all the replies. I am still deciding so keep the links coming. I think with some of the wait times being around 2 months, now is a great time to send the pistol off to ROBAR and get it refinished as well so that the pistol and the holster get here about the same time.

Keep em'coming.

Don't miss checking Gary Brommeland at www.brommelandgunleather.com or Sam Andrews at www.andrewsleather.com . Both are superb holstersmiths with great products. Do a search on them and see the unsolicited comments about them and their work.

UniversalFrost,
I make to order several types OWB and IWB leather holsters for a Beretta 92FS. Available in five colors, with or without thumb breaks and options as well. Six to eight weeks turnaround time, due to holday season orders. Visit my website for color photos, information and pricing.

Thanks for all the input guys. I have decided on the FIST #16 Inside-Outside 2 holster because of its ability to be worn either way and is quickly detachable with its snaps which gives it the advantage of paddle without the hassle of having to always adjust. A bit on the pricey side compared to others out there, but is is like buying 3 different holsters in 1.

Will let you guys know how it works out when I get it.

Gonna say it once, you get what you pay for.

And in holsters, buying a 3 position, in side outside, shoulder combo deal is going to get you a holster that may work well in one use, but in all likely hood is going to suck at all three.


You are wiling to pay 150 for one holster, why not look at buying 2 holsters for 75 bucks each, for that money you can by a Galco, bianchi, desantis or any number of other quality holsters that fit the job they were designed to do.

www.garritysgunleather.com and www.kdholsters.com. I have products from both guys and they are great. I ordered a belt from kdholsters and by the time it got to me I had gained weight and it wouldn't fit. Kevin said to ship it back and he'd make me a new one. I'm waiting on a iwb fro Garrity, but I should get it soon.

Yeah, you get exagerrated leadtimes andpoor customer service. The quality is OK at best, if you discount the restof the negatives.

I can wholly endorse Ranger Gunleather. The wait time is exactly as promised, and the quality is second to none. I only hope I am able to afford to buy more before the world discovers Greg Dunn, and his prices go up.

I intend to order a Bersa .380 IWB, a 1911 OWB, a L-frame S&W OWB, and an IWB for my Star BM that is en route. These holsters are worth far, far more than they cost.

Yeah, I am gonna get a high quality product that I will be able to use for years. By the way it is an IWB/OWB holster. Not a shoulder holster. Here's the link. http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/16.htm

I think it is an excellent product. As for desantis. I have several OWB models for my other guns and I like their quality, but was wanting to try something new.
