Shielded Holsters:Custom Kydex Holsters

I usually browse around the forums for great deals and great products. I came across a thread on Glocktalk of someone selling custom kydex holsters. The price was right and the people that have replied in the thread have had great experiences.

The starter of the thread and the maker of the holsters name is Kurtis aka "kwart" on Glocktalk. He was very pleasant to deal with and his communication is great. I've also read similar from other people who have purchased and posted on the thread. Here is a link to the actual thread on Glocktalk

GLOCKTALK THREAD
Here is an excerpt from the thread.

"This is my line of holsters they are made to order and I warranty them for as long as you own them. They are made of 8-9oz leather and are coated with a protective atom wax. The clips are steel and all the hardware is as well, I have a double clip, single clip and a mini version for small .380's. Here are some pics and if you are interested let me know, the double is $50 with shipping, the single is $45 shipped and the mini is $40 shipped! E-mail me at shieldedholsters@hotmail.com or call me @ 513-293-3192. I also for a few guys have added belt slots to the Iwb holster to allow them to carry OWB as you see in the pic of the raptor. Thanks! I also offer a stamped barbed boarder around the holster as seen in #2 pic. I Just started offering my holsters in brown as seen in #2 pic Here are my prices: Double Clip (anyway you want it)-$50 shipped Single Clip (anyway you want it)-$45 shipped Mini Clip (anyway you want)-$40 shipped Double Mag-$25 Single Mag-$20 IWB Single Mag-$25 To order you can send me a Paypal or Gunpal payment to shieldedholsters@hotmail.com. I will also take a usps MO if you would like. Please contact me for more info "

I decided to purchase the "Mini CLip" since i didn't have a holster like this before.

When I received the holster I was pleasantly surprised on the quality of the leather. It is thicker than some other "custom" and manufactured leather I've ordered before. The molding of the Kydex is spot on and retention is great. I would definitely not hesitate to recommend this product and the customer service that Kurtis provides is excellent.
Some pictures of what Kurtis offers.

2010 Wish List

Here is a few things that i want to get for this year. Hopefully I'll be able to get all by the end of this year.

Kel-Tec PMR-30

This rifle is already out but it is VERY hard to get without paying over retail. My local dealer can get one from his distributor for 1300.00 but they are always out and there is a pretty big waiting list.
========================================================

Vltor Bren Ten


The 10mm is one of my favorite rounds. And the Bren Ten is one of my favorite handguns. Stupid me i sold the one i had before and regret it ever since. I am looking forward to the new Fortis models. Although there is some delay I'll patiently wait for this one.
========================================================

Lone Wolf Timberwolf Glock Frame



On the waiting list for this one. Lone wolf is making a testing and evaluation prototype for some people to try out and I was lucky enough to put my name on that list. I already have the internals for the frame and will be using my Glock 34 upper to test. Also have 1,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition to give it it's run through.
