Are your IWB holsters made with reinforced openings to allow easier reholstering?

No, but...

As per my reply above to kerryp:

It's an option that can be added.

My Bodhi IWB is built geared towards concealment and comfort, so it's thinner than the leather I build OWBs with. I do mold all holsters to be firm so there is some strength there but not to the degree a reinforced mouth may provide (especially like holsters utilizing non-leather reinforcement).

A reinforced mouth vs non-reinforced mouth is an individual preference and I work with that. I've worn both types. The priority for myself is concealment. It's a much smaller margin than reinforcement is. I'm currently wearing a non-reinforce Bodhi and I one-hand reholster.

But as I said, it's an option I will provide for customers

As per our PM's on TFL, I look forward to a new gun and holster made by a fellow Texan.

I can do reinforced mouth or not. I can do belt clips or leather loops w/snaps. I can do a rear belt tunnel. It's all what the customer wants. I'll give my knowledge and suggestions but I will let my customer make his own bed, so to speak

Long ago I determined that "the perfect holster" requires already having a box full of about 50 other different holsters to find it. It really takes lots of trial and error I think. I still have plenty of space left in "the box". lol

lol pretty much

I think the perfect holster can change even within the same day. I keep 3 in rotation on my dresser for my mood alone

As for that holster box, I need a bigger one.

How does one drive a car wearing an IWB appendix carry?

mmmm

Depends on the type of IWB. A double-loop style holster would be on the big side. Normally a small/compact gun is carried at the appendix position. Those do well with a clip style appendix IWB

Maybe it's just because I am too fat, I can't even bend over comfortably when wearing a "clip" style appendix IWB holding my G27.....that's the only reason I asked.
I would have to slide it to my side if I wanted to drive wearing it....

It works much better for those that don't have the "beer gut" such as myself. Usually if there is a bit of a gut, it can push the gun outward more unless your pant line is below the gut and you wear the holster there. Usually with A-IWB carry most people carry from ~12:30-2:30 on your front section (or on the opposite side for lefties). A-IWB is tricky because you have to have just the right holster, the holster has to sit at just the right height, the bottom section can't be too wide otherwise it can get uncomfortable and chaff your leg or get uncomfortable when sitting, etc. With just the right holster, gun, etc, it can make for one of the best carry positions as you can have better control over the gun (if an attacker attempted to grab it from you), it is a bit quicker from the draw, and is sort of an "unconventional" position that most people aren't used to seeing so most people would be less likely to think "gun" if they saw a bit of a bulge up front instead of on the hip.

From what I've seen and heard here, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I won't be too far behind you in getting my order in, just gotta get some other stuff lined out first.

 

[kerryp]

Just got an email that the Bohdi for my Kimber UCII is shipping today...wonderful service and turn around. I look froward to getting it...

Black straps are because my gun belt is black...
