I'll have to dig up some other pictures, but this is a version of the OWB with Snaps that I use for my EDC 3.5" RIA:

ok.... here ya go Lane....

Did you buy a holster? If not, why not? (price, design, whatever)
Yes,

What style? OWB, IWB? Lined?
IWB with custom logo, lined, clips

Do you still use it? If not, why not? (comfort, size, color, whatever)
Yes, while not everyday, I do wear it.


How has it held up?
Like 's Tank! incredible quality.

How's is the stitching, finish, fit?
Oops.... got to say it again.... fit finish and stitching is "incredible quality".

If you could redesign it, what changed would you make?
I would spell "changes" correctly Lane. lol.... other than that, I would either upgrade, or do away with the clips on the IWB. Consider a J clip design as used on the Crossbreed. Given the tightness of the leather, on several occasions I pulled the gun AND the holster out of my pants while drawing. J clips which hook under the belt or leather snaps would clear up the issues fast.

Final thought: If I were ordering again today, I would order an OWB as my BBQ holster. It seems almost a shame to hide such a thing of beauty inside my pants (stop it !!!!! Yes, its a possible double entendre )

and a pic



Hope this helps!
Da

Girls wear pants. Men wear trousers.

I see thread drift......back to what we would change or keep concerning Lane's Lasco Leather Holsters?

Just my 2 cents. I ordered an inside the waistband holster for a full size 1911. I don't know if others had the issue but I felt there is a little too much leather where the clip's go on the holster. Where I wore my holster when I carried my gun the leather felt as it was too tall and dug into the top side of my leg. If that makes any sense. If it does not make any sense I will try to further explain with a picture.

Thanks for the feedback - I would like a bit more detail. Where are you wearing the holster (sounds like maybe 2:00 or so? appendix carry?) I wear mine right above my right butt cheek - about 4:00 or 5:00.

Maybe we need a new design for appendix carry.
