Just purchased a holster for my 1911 today from Shielded Holsters

[Guest NashvegasMatt]

So I was browsing the net, and came across this guy who makes custom leather holsters which, judging by the pictures, are a stiff competitor of crossbreed at 2/3 the price. He goes by the company name of Shielded Holsters. All in all cost me $55, and from what I've read on another forum, the guy has a great warranty and return policy if people aren't satisfied. Here's the link, and I'll post pics as soon as I get it in. Anyone here had one of these?

Shielded Holsters LINK!

FINALLY GOT IT TODAY... wow that shipping was quick! I'll let the pictures do the talking.

This thing is comfortable... sitting, standing, whatever, it feels good! I've handled the crossbreed, and this is very similar quality considering it's a one man show running this small business venture.

The holsters look good. Be sure and give us a report on it when it comes in.

PS --- I liked the "OWB kydex". It looks like "Atomic Dog's" model.

Keep up the good work.

Nice, looking forward to the update & pics. I very well might be picking one of these up.

I told the owner that some of the guys on this forum might be interested, so let him know that you saw the post on TGO to validate his reputation as growing if you decide to purchase.

Sounds (and looks) good...I'll be interested in your comments after you've used it a while.

I have some pretty expensive OWB holsters for my 1911s but I have to say, my crossbreed is, for me at least, the best I've ever had so far.
