If the belt is tensioned correctly, the holster holds the heavy SP101 OWB high and tight. The leather is thin and pliable (not like a Galco or other big name) which makes it a little more comfortable, but it does require the belt to be tighter than I am used to for OWB carry.

The holster is simple and rugged, hence the name. Simply Rugged – I order a Silver Dollar for my SP101 with inside out straps. Overall I am pleased and intend on ordering an offside for my revolvers. While I imagine a larger shop might have gotten my order changes right, the owner worked hard to make everything right. My new order was shipped a few weeks later. In the confusion he shipped my original order and when I brought it to his attention he told me to keep the holster and pass it on to someone who could use it. Well, me and the Kahr did not get along and I changed it again to the P238. I sold the gun before the holster was made and he changed my order to accommodate my new Kahr (the LCP replacement). I initially ordered a back pocket holster for a LCP. In regards to customer service, I want to say the owner is very easy to deal with and exceptionally understanding. The kydex prevents sweat from getting to the gun. You cannot tell I am concealing a gun unless the shirt rises above the top of the gun (which means I am wearing too short of a shirt) or you pat me right above my butt (which means you better be my wife or a police officer). Simply put, this is everything I expected and more. Retention is good, but the draw is buttery smooth. The clip is offset from the gun to make the whole package as slim as possible. I have an Uncle Mike’s holster that performs just as well.

It was worth the money, but not necessarily the 6 week wait. Overall it is nothing spectacular, but does what it is advertised to do. It has a thumb push off to aid in your draw. It does what is supposed to do, holding the gun in your pocket and breaking up its outline.

The pocket holster is made of pretty thin kydex and forms to the gun well. Here are my thoughts:Īlabama Holsters – I ordered an Offside and back pocket holster for my Sig P238. Also, Simply Rugged received high marks for basic pancake OWB holsters. After reading some other forums I heard good things about Alabama Holsters for good kydex IWB and pocket holsters. Okay, thought I would share some thoughts on some new holsters I purchased.
