The full grip accessibility allows for an instant and consistent firing grip. The boned front sight channel prevents snags during the draw. The reinforced holster opening provides easy eyes off re-holstering. The vertical orientation and open top allows the fastest wrist locked draw. Weapon retention is achieved by hand molding and boning for an exact pistol fit. Concealment is achieved by the double belt loop system in that the rear belt loop pulls the grip into the body, and the slide does not extend out and forward like in a holster made with forward cant.

The #2 holster is basically the same as the #1 holster but with the addition of a metal reinforced thumb snap strap. Personal criteria should be the deciding factor in determining if you need the #2 thumb snap holster. If you are an individual performing unusual physical activities and draw speed is less critical, then the #2 holster might be preferred. Mass produced thumb snap holsters are generally made with less than favorable fit. My #2 holster is fitted the same way as the #1 so that the thumb snap is an additional retention devise.

The "American Handgunner Special" is a holster I designed custom for Sammy Reese of the American Handgunner Magazine. This holster has all the same features and specs as my #1 holster but with the addition of a leather "sweat guard". The sweat guard is very useful during the summer. It was designed primarily to be worn under an un-tucked shirt, it protects the pistol finish from sweat as well as protects your skin from being pinched by the hammer and thumb safety.
