Some readers may recall that I was searching for an IWB holster which had the options of a sweat shield and the ability to pivot to adjust the cant. I conducted an exhaustive search on the internet with the following results. Most makers did not offer both options, you could typically get one or the other. Some makers would add a sweat shield for additional cost and delay, none I found would add a pivoting feature.
I did locate three makers that featured both options on their designs, but their delivery time was from 16 weeks to 6 months.
I was about to throw in the towel when I came across the Tennessee Holster Company, www.gun-works.com.
Their holser design had both features I was looking for. I immediately emailed then for the dreaded delivery date and was pleasantly surprised when told it would be sent immediately. I placed my order and was holding my holster 3 days later.
The holster can be had with either a belt clip or leather loop attachment in your choice of black or medium brown. I chose the clip which easily fits on my 1.75" belt. The clip is unique in that it is mounted on a paddle and can be worn in several ways as shown on the THC web site. The clip is very strong and will not open when the gun is drawn.
The leather used is somewhat thinner than normal, but I noticed a better fit this way as bulk is reduced, something needed in a IWB holster. There is a double layer of leather on the sweat shield and holster mouth which aids in reholstering. Stitching in contrasting thread is flawless. Fit on my Springfield XD-9 is glovelike and the Holster appears to have been wet molded. My favorite feature, the pivoting belt clip, was well designed. A locking screw can be loosened, the cant adjusted, then retightened with a supplied allen wrench. I really like being able to carry behind the hip or crossdraw. Also included with the holster are complete instructions for it's care and maintainence.
The buyer may also purchase additional clips or loops and a heavy duty matching belt can also be had for less than $50.00.
Holsters are available for a wide variety of guns to include Sigs, Walthers, S&W M&P's, Glocks, Springfields. etc. Prices are very reasonable especially an incredibly low $5.00 for priority mail shipping.
Lastly the THC staff is helpful and happy to assist their customers and potential buyers.
