    If U no like,U no buyeeee.



    Actually, I ordered this one in for a customer and he didn't want it after seeing the exposed trigger. I have yet to find the "ideal" replacement.

    A custom holster is an option...and the Don Hume tip may pay off. I have to call them tomorrow...the Simply Rugged is a possibility as well.

    That's one of the reasons I like GB...we have a diverse group of people with a wide base of knowledge about various things. One can get quite a bit of feedback about almost anything. We've got quite a few jerks too...some of which posted in this thread, but the good folks still outnumber the jerks...


    how much is this holster?

    According to some posters on a concurrent thread, this open trigger holster is an AOW since you can fire the gun when its in the holster!

    Pure BS. If the holster is designed to appear as anything other thatn a holster AND the firearm is encased AND can be fired without removed it from the holster (ie: the famous 'wallet' holster shown below), then it is considered an AOW.

    From an ATF memo: http://www.atf.gov/publications/newsletters/ffl/ffl-newsletter-1997-08.pdf
    quote:During the 1970's, ATF determined that various
    small handguns combined with certain "wallet
    holsters" fall into the "any other weapon" category
    and are subject to the provisions of the NFA.
    These wallet holsters are generally rectangular in
    shape, are designed to disguise the appearance of
    the handgun, and are designed to allow the weapon
    to be fired while it is contained within the wallet.
    The handgun combined with the wallet holster
    constitutes an NFA firearm.
    A conventional pistol or revolver which is
    possessed without the wallet holster would not be
    an NFA firearm. A wallet holster alone is not
    subject to NFA controls and cannot be registered
    or transferred a- a firearm. Firearms contained in
    conventional holsters, trouser pockets, purses,
    gun cases, or various other forms of carrying
    cases have not been determined to fall within the
    definition of an "any other weapon," even though
    it maybe possible to discharge a firearm while it
    is carried in such a manner.

    This is clearly different than ECC's customer's holster that is plainly designed to appear as a holster and shows that it holds a firearm.
