And this weeks nominee for the ugliest holster ever made is...


"The Answer". The type is referred to as crossbreed, blending kydex with leather. The RL Company. $125. Waiting list is approximately a month, then you too can don an inside the waistband monstrosity that can only be worn behind the hip so as to make access to the weapon an act of contortionism worthy of the great Houdini.

So rather than a cheapie Uncle Mike's IWB that you don't even know is there, the unwashed masses are flocking to these grotesqueries because they're the latest fashion. $.50 worth of plastic, $8.00 worth of leather available at any big hobby shop, a few clips and rivets for a buck or two when purchasing in quantity, and voila. Instant Chump Gear.

Keep meaning to look into making my own and damn if sooner or later I won't.
