My favorite holster maker and my favorite holster maker a Grey Elephant Dual Carry by MTR Custom Leathers.  This can be worn IWB or OWB.  Just disappears and you don't even know its there. Wonderful design and i cant speak highly enough about MTR. This is also for my Kimber Solo

MTR does great work. Fully lined and custom molded

 

 

Also a brown Elephant OWB by BRCL in Southaven MS

 

 

Here are my pocket holsters for my Colt Mustang. A brown Lizard by TT and a Ring Lizard by MTR

 

 

Another of my favorite design and my main carry. A dual carry by MTR in Horsehide.  Front and back so you can see how it works

 

 

 

Lastly i have my Black Shark pocket for my S&W bodyguard, along with a brown wallet made from Beaver Tail and a Buck 110 Rattlesnake knife sheath.

 

 

Also here is one more MTR just posted this pic of my newest one.  I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, but here is what it looks like.  Pocket holster made from Beaver Tail for my Ruger LCR 357

Holy crap those are exotic. Can't tell which I like best but I am green with envy!

Beautiful work, you've got more invested in holsters than I do in guns lol.

Several years ago I purchased an elephant holster from Wilson Combat for my 1911.  It's a beautiful, well made holster. However elephant, wasn't the best choice for concealed carry.  I've acquired a box of hosters before finding those I use daily.

Those are beautiful.  Seems almost a waste to do one that nobody can see.  I'd want to pull it out and show it off, thus defeating it's purpose.  On the other hand, there are those of us who sit in front of the TV fondleing guns, holsters & gear.

I have carried in an elephant iwb holster for years and it carries fine. I would think the holster design plays a much bigger part than the type of leather. What in particular about elephant caused a problem concealing?

Nice looking holsters!

I don't have anything fancy, leather for my 1911 from Pure Kustom, a hybrid for my SR40C from http://earmholster.com that is black kydex on tan leather with burnt orange stiching, and have a custom kydex for my 1911 ordered from http://www.wepleadthe2nd.com/kydex-holsters/customiwb-kydex-holster-adjustable-retention/ that is in Kryptek Typhon pattern.

The tough leather is good for retaining its shape allowing easy reholstering of my pistol.  However the stiffness of the belt loops causes the holster to not conceal well under clothing
