I can't wait to break it in....because it should be named SuperStiff instead of superslide ! Oh, and it's the plain black cowhide.

They start stiff... it'll break in.
I think you'll like it, though i've only ever used the Super Tuck IWB

What kind of retention, a strap? The kydex isn't good enough?
A strap, or anything that'll fit over the pistol to keep someone from grabbing and pulling it out, is what he was asking. Depends on how tight the kydex is, and how hard someone wants to take it.

A good "grabber' could pop a strap fairly easy as well, imo.

Just sayin...

So, if i carried it into a mall, to help pull you out of a mulch bed, and some lowlife walks up behind me, that I completely ignore because I (ken) believes everyone at the mall must be a Saint and are just there to pick out a new air freshener for their wifes dressing area, and that nice person (that may or may not speak english) might need my gun more than myself, decides to yank that gun (which will typically be under a shirt) out of my holster, which will also require him to pull directly upwards (because it won't come out at a sideways angle).......so if this nice fellow decides to do this, and Ken has a strap holding the gun in, his plan will be foiled? Is that what you in's is sayin'? ...and you think that if I ever need to pull it out in a hurry, that I am coordinated enough to unstrap it, slowing me down that extra micro second...
.....heck I'm still trying to get my shirt out of the way!!!!!!! hahahahaa
Again, for those that can't read (DON), I don't open carry in public. But if I did, the gun would not be strapped.

Same feeling here exactly.
IMHO public open carry is just exposing you and drawing unnecessary/unwanted attention. For the life of me, i can't figure out why that would be anybody's preference. I get the 2a rally demonstrations and stuff, but that's different... it's an exhibition. I open carry in the woods, in my yard, etc etc. Never in public.

No one on this sight agitates me, and probably never will. But I can dish it back now and then!

Open carry on the farm and it's in the way a lot, but public places CC. I've taken to wearing sports jackets a lot more because of that.

...love the holster, but realized that it's taking the "paint" off the 1911 fairly quick. I guess the kydex's pressure points are tighter than the old uncle mikes standard plastic edition because it didn't leave a scratch after carrying on multiple hunting trips.
I took a heat gun to the kydex to lighten the grip, but it's still leaving marks.
Post by: cj7ox on February 24, 2016, 04:53:15 PM
It took 3 weeks to get mine. I called after 2 weeks, and they said I was in line, and coming up next. I went with standard cowhide because it comes black.If it's the supertuck, it might be your belt more than the kydex. Tension on those comes from how tight your belt is. I haven't any more holster wear on my 1911s using the supertuck versus my kydex OWB holsters. Curious.

Quality is worth the wait- did you get the Horsehide? If not, it might be available sooner if you did..........
No horsehide for me as I'm allergic to horses..... ;)

2-3 sounds a lot better then 5-6, I purchased the premium cowhide but that was only upgrade. Figured if I liked it I would go back and order the iwb Mag pouch as well

I may order one of these myself for my 1911... but honestly my Bersa is my preferred carry weapon, and almost no one makes a holster for them.
Post by: stlaser on February 25, 2016, 08:51:42 AM
He does a lot of odd ball stuff & has very nice leather work. You may try him OldKoot....
Edit: in fact I just looked it up & he had Bersa listed.....

They have kits to DIY your own holster. Comes with the kydex and the snaps and loops and etc. Plus its one more thing that can go in the barn.

He peaked my interest when he started finding old bombs! But frankly the old Dodge stuff is hard to stay away from...Like him, I just love those old trucks.

Don.... the barn has some amazing amounts of junk in it. So much, that yesterday I found a complete VE Motor I forgot all about.
Post by: Flyin6 on February 25, 2016, 05:24:16 PM
So I checked that link our for simply rugged... They have one for the Bersa .380. I carry a .45 so I E mailed them and we shall see what they say. Regardless...thanks for the lead. I have a Bersa Open carry holster that works well...but it could be improved upon considerably.I want it!

Bet we'd even have time to poke some holes in some paper with my .270 I just finished.
Post by: cj7ox on February 26, 2016, 09:40:29 AM
Don, man if ya want a VE motor I can drive my daily driver down there to your fine abode. Pull the engine, put it in your truck, put your P pump in my truck and drive home. Likely a weekend trip no sweat :D

Norm, Sounds to me like you may just have to make that trip, if for no other reason than to save SD from disintegration do to dust contamination and neglect! ;)

OK you two are banned, but I'll let you return, say, now, and let you off for time served!
Post by: stlaser on March 21, 2016, 08:57:59 PM
Just ordered a supertuck for a glock, claimed 5-6 weeks for it to ship..... A little bummed after ordering it & reading that.
It arrived in the mail today, 3 days shy of month turn around. Will unpackaged it tomorrow & try it on for size.

So first impression, a lot of detail to quality and it seems to be a quality product. I have worn it for a few days now and it is fairly comfortable, stays securely in place at all times. I may return it and have them do the speed cut or whatever they call it where they remove some leather to be able to access and draw it quicker in the future. We'll see after I get some practice in with it for awhile and watch how it breaks in as it's still pretty stiff. My only other thought is I could have done without the mortise crosses on the belt clips but is what it is, not quite a "hippy style" as Ken would say but it'll do I suppose........

They put their crosses on all the clips. As for cut, you could do that yourself with an x-acto or carpet knife if you wanted to.Exactly. I cut mine with steel shears, and then used a bench grinder to fine tune it.
