Review of two holsters and belt from K & D Holsters

[bulbboy]

On Thursday, I received two holsters and a belt that I had ordered from K & D Holsters. I ordered the snap on/off Laredo Defender for my Ruger SP101, a pocket holster w/exotic trim for my S & W 642, and a black belt.
I already have one of his "Laredo Defenders" and knew I would like this one as well. I ordered it in black with my initials on it - turned out great.

It is so comfortable and it still surprises me how close it fits to your body. I love the snap on/off feature - just so easy and keeps from scuffing up your belt as much.

I highly recommend this holster for any gun you carry. Here is a picture of the last one Kevin did for me. This one was done with Ostrich trim for my Sig P239 SAS.

The "Pocket Defender" I requested some exotic trim in grey, to match my black and grey grips on my 642. What he came back with was awesome!! Elephant trim - looks great. My pictures don't do it justice!

I normally wear slacks or Dockers to work so I was wondering how well the pocket holster was going to work. With Dockers, the pocket holster works great!! You can't even tell it there, but with normal thin slacks it looks like my pocket is stuffed with something. You can't tell what its stuffed with - It definitely covers up that its a gun and thats what its made for. It looks like you have a PDA or Blackberry in your pocket (or I'm real happy to see you)
I was really pleased with the Pocket Defender.

I have two Aker Gunbelts, a tan one and a black one, and have been satisfied with them. I have ordered almost everything Kevin makes but a belt, so I thought I would give it a try. Thinking it would be like my Akers - wasn't too excited for it to come in. Man, his belts blow the Aker gunbelts away!! I was shocked how much better it is - it is very stiff yet comfortable. I will order a couple more of these in different colors!

Do yourself a favor and give one of these belts a try!
Once again Kevin, you have done a great job - Thank you!!

Thanks for posting this review. I'd like to get a belt holster for my 342pd and have been wondering how well those snap-on versions worked--particularly the snug-to-the-body characteristic. Yours looks really similar to one made by Palehorse that I'm thinking of ordering but is a little less expensive. Too bad one can't request a sample one from the makers to "try-on". I HATE wasting money on holster spectulation.

Very nice...I especially like the CQC/S style rig for the SP101...I have the Alessi version for my P7 and it is the best OWB I have ever used...that KD looks very well made and you can't beat the price...I may have to pick one up for my new SP that is coming next week from Gemini Customs....great looking belt too...I had teh Aker and gave it away since it was abit uncomfortable...

on a side note, that pocket holster is nice but couldn't you lose the re-inforced mouth to reduce bulk? I would imagine you would not need a collar on a pocket holster but maybe I'm wrong...

Hayley - You truly won't regret getting this holster.

Don't Shoot Me - You might be right on the collar - but it doesn't seem to get in the way or add anymore bulk. With Khakis or cargo shorts you can't tell anyway.
