Why is finding a holster sooooooooo durn difficult?

This is a general whinge about bad experiences getting holsters.
So I have a Sig P226 Legion with RomeoXPro RDS, Foxtrot2R light, 5" threaded barrel, and the tall sights. Hardly the most crazily customized pistol out there.
I have made 2 awful mistakes in purchasing OWB holsters for this setup, one a ridiculously expensive leather custom job, and the other a pretty unremarkable kydex number. Both manufacturers claimed to have no problems accommodating my pistol and accessories and I ordered in good faith.
The leather one took 3 tries to make it to spec (second one they totally forgot about the threaded barrel) and even then the draw is absolute DOG CRAP and the front sight is gouging a cut into the leather even when I wear it flat against my back at 5 o'clock.
The kydex took 8.5 weeks on a promised lead time of 4-6 weeks and was made wrong. I ordered 2 different holsters with the exact same spec for the light detail but they made the 2 holsters differently for some reason. Sending it back for another try.
I swear getting a holster for anything other than a Glock 17 is a freakin nightmare. Just me? Did I take crazy pills?

Looking for kydex iwb holster for s&w 386

So my dad is really wanting a holster for his .357 and I’ve decided to find him one for Christmas. I want it to be kydex instead of leather so that is reliable, but they seem to be hard to find for the 2.5in barrel. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Looking for OWB, Left-Handed, Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Reserve.

Holster for Olight PL-3R

Hi, I got myself a new PL3R and i'd like to know which holsters are compatible in combination with a Glock 17 Gen 5 ? I checked out US DUTY GEAR and Safariland 6395RDS but none list the PL3R as compatible. Could any owner of this gear could shine a light onto which holster to buy please ?

Thanks !

5" Springfield RO Elite Operator

Anyone appendix carry a full sized RO Elite Operator (9mm)? I love this pistol and want to attempt it as an every day, but I tend to carry appendix for mobility reasons and I cannot find a company that makes a IWB appendix carry holster specifically for this 1911 (no optics and nothing on the rail) I heard some people buy holsters for Kimber full sized 1911s but want to know if anyone has a set up for this specific pistol. I own 2 Tier 1 rigs for other guns, but am open to other makers.

Suggestion for holster to go with NeoMag beltless receiver?

Does anyone have a suggestion for the following use:

The holster will be "dedicated" to being used on the NeoMag beltless receiver for AIWB carry.

NeoMag gave me the following list of suppliers they recommend in no particular order. It's a bit overwhelming. I did specifically ask them about this one and they said it would likely work:

Tier1 Axis Elite vs APX

I recently ordered the Axis Elite for my Canik SFX Rival. I was really debating on getting it or the APX. Does anyone have either of these or have used them before?...which one do you like better? Thank you for your input.

Let’s talk sidecar holsters

I have narrowed down my choices to T.Rex Arms Sidecar 2.0, T1C Axis Elite, and T1C APX. Holster will be for my Walther PDP Compact w/ TLR7x.

For reference, I’m 5’9 170lbs athletic build. I’m currently running a standard holster and mag carrier AIWB.

For those of you who have tried these holsters how would you compare them in terms of - concealment, comfort, edc.

10mm IWB recommendations (please!)

Hi! I’m new to the world of guns, introduced by my now husband. He recently bought a Springfield XDME 4.5 10mm, and for Christmas I wanted to get him a IWB holster. I have zero clue what I’m looking for and while I’ve been looking online the past few days, everytime I think I found something, someone else says it’s not worth it 😓. I’ve also learned that 10mm are not a preferred daily, but given we just moved to Alaska, I would prefer to have it on hand for wildlife as much as people. If anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

We The People

Hello,

I have a quick question. Recently got myself a new carry pistol. Springfield Prodigy ds1911.

I got a custom holster from We The People for it. It is an IWB with optic cut and molded for the Surefire X300U-A

Having some trouble finding the 1000 lumen version of the X300U-A but am finding great deals on the X300U-B.

I’m relatively new to the pistol light world, so any input helps!

Slimfit Expectations?

This is the first time I buy from them, need an OWB for my duty belt so I was on the lookout for Safariland QLS compatible holster. Slimfit was cheapest with coupon ($54.30 including shipping). When I made the order, site said wait was 10-15 days but was extended to 15-20 days a few days later. However, today makes 20 days and still no update. I started reading reviews/posts and they are all mixed, some praise slimfit while others dislike the wait, the customer service and even the product itself. Most common negative thing I read is about the excess left on the holster and the owners negative attitude towards the issue. So wanted to know if I should wait a bit or contact them after today? Lastly, Im really confused with their “holster length agreement”, this is the first company I have ever heard this from. I read somewhere why he does it but again, this is a first time for me.

ISO Charter Off Duty Holster - IWB only

I have found tons of OWB options but nothing that specifically says it fits my off duty. I'm wondering are there more available holsters for near similar models that would also allow to safely carry IWB with the Off Duty. Someone told me Smith small J frame models would work, but i have to order online and want to be sure what i order will actually fit it. Id prefer kydex just to be thinner but am willing to go leather if thats my only viable options. Thanks for any help.

help

Good evening

I'm looking at starting a holster/sheath business and i came across someone selling an Ender Pro model printer. I am wondering if the print bed will be big enough to print popular models of certain blue guns so i can make the custom holster without having to using the customers firearms or knife. Has anyone used this 3D printer
