What gun would you concealed carry

[Glock Girl in CA]

No promises. But if you send me a clear picture of your gun and knife, I will talk to my vendors about the art of the possible.

I want them to see what we are talking about or I am likely to end up with a my little pony rainbow, which I am pretty sure won't sell.

As you wish:

I'm in LA so no CC permit currently but hey, a girl can dream. So to answer the OPs question, I think you should make one for a Shield. I'd sure like to CC my EMP or one of my CZ-type guns but the slim Shield seems to conceal better on my body type and clothing style.

The holster example you posted looks great.

I have 5 coming in for Shields of which one is already spoken for. All well be pretty standard. Nice part is this vendor will do some level of customization in terms of leather dye, and thread color.

I don't think were going to pull off anything like the anodized rainbow like Glock is looking for, but I am researching it.

I am really looking for what we can do with the Bonnie B which will be black leather with Teal thread.

[grantar2]

Ah, I see.

WELL. If you can find a rainbow holster you will make a mint. People in this forum go crazy for rainbow guns around here - one can only imagine the madness over matching rainbow holsters... It's almost too wonderful to imagine!

So what would you think of a custom dyed leather, stitching and rainbow anodized concho's if that could be found?

I'm not in the area or looking for a new holster but since you trying to get a handle of what us girls are carrying, I usually am carrying a Taurus PT 709 Slim in a AIWB holster (kydex front, leather back).

I also have a Sig SP2022 with the same style holster. I don't carry it as much though.

I've been eying a Sig P320. I think that's my next purchase/carry gun.

For me, carrying AIWB is easier to conceal with the style of clothes I wear. I don't do off-body carry at all.

Is your holster a dual clip Crossbreed style, or a single clip N82 style.

I have no idea what that would look like but it sounds magical.

Not sure either but I like the challenge. Would be easier to do an OWB than IWB but since my new line of holsters are both.....

Any specific themes you like, horses, starts, crosses, ???????

When I am at Oak Tree I will shoot their Rami and let you know if I would purchase one or not (next wed or fri).

Well unfortunately the Rami is no longer on their rental wall so I am unable to provide any info on how it shoots and whether I would get one to carry. FWIW, the rental options are now very Glock and Sig heavy so I would extrapolate that those are what the public have been requesting most.

I know that you are in the beginning stages of this endeavor, but do you know if your vendor would be amenable to doing a one-off? If down the line I need something specific it would be great to have you as a resource. If it were necessary I could provide my own blue gun (prob not in their inventory).

So far he has been very amenable and reasonably priced. I think it would be possible but only time will tell.

In deciding who to carry I asked serveral vendors about special touches, special orders. I have selected the few that will work with me, and yet are able to sustain reasonable production rates. My IWB/OWB was as excited to work on the special holster derived from Bonnie's comments as I was. Well see what the finished product looks like and feels.

It's a single clip.

Here's a picture that I used for the EDC thread in another Calguns forum:



I made one modification, I don't like the leather as low around the grip as companies like to make it. So I shaved it off so when I grip the handle while wearing, my grip hand doesn't touch leather at all. If that makes sense... if not I can add a new pic of it.

EDIT: I have a crossbreed IWB minituck as well. I don't like to carry at 4 o'clock since I constantly feel that it might be exposed. I don't like the Crossbreed AIWB holsters since I wanted the clip on the kydex instead of on the leather.
I can't remember the brand of this holster since I shaved off the logo while trimming it down.

If you can find one, my vote would be for an S&W 6906 or 669.

[grantar2]

Trigg Brothers Concho's is looking to see if they can do a rainbow concho. Will let you know what they come back with, but if you have time to look at their stuff you might give me an idea what you would like. The other option is to try and rainbow the clip. Is your holster single or double clip?

[BonnieB]

Oooh ! A rainbow clip !
