So I modified the M&P with a Lightguard. No holster after that. In one day I had this:
Cost? Cleaning a shotgun. For my friend that does this I am thankful. So does getting a holster made of plastic in one day make it better than several weeks in the queue for a custom made leather one at significantly greater cost? For now the answer is: "it depends". Does my friends skill with plastic rival those with skill in leather? I don't know. I don't make holsters. I can't at this time discount either. Having a holster for my carry gun almost immediately is a big deal though.
I love leather holsters on old school stuff.
So as I continue this journey and reevaluate my relationships with Firearms in holsters I carry, the short answer right now is I don't know.
Gotta go, road trip tomorrow! Shoot stuff!

My $0.02 it's pretty plastic, if it's comfortable all you're missing is the aroma of peeled cow.
Looks good!
Lookin' good, Hoss. Maybe it's the old Military Police troop in me, but I want a thigh rig for mine...
Ya know... I'll be interested to see how this turns out... I like some of my kydex holsters, but ultimately prefer leather if it's touch my skin... I've seen some hybrid leather/plastic holsters come on the scene the last couple of years... and my holster box keeps getting new additions...

I like leather, too. I have an old .22 from my Grandma that was bought with a leather holster out of a Sears catalogue from well before my time.
Funny little varmint killer. One of the notorious characteristics is that the wheel will come out of alignment after so many shots, and must be opened and closed again to get back into place.
True that! I must say however that the Kydex does take some getting used too.
Thank you!
Steve: Welcome! Thigh rig? Sure, we can do it!
Dann- My holster box is getting larger too. This is just going to force me to make a post about old school vs. today.
Brooke- I agree. I love the feel of leather and against cold steel and warm wood that is what I gravitate to.
As far as the .22, glad you have it. Can't help with the timing issues though!
