Stuffed the hook corner with napkins so it is flushed with the pistol.

Ive been known to go to Wally World and buy a cheap nylon tri fold wallet and use for a pocket holster.
I never considered makeing my own;f Always having a emergency supply of T-paper with me besides my pistol is a fantastic idea. A way to shoot the BG and clean yourself all in one simple holster,Yes sir a idea who time has come. All this at a reasonable price. I just love it when a plan comes together.;P

Geez! 192.00 bucks!
You could have ordered four leather ones on line and never left the house.
$192 for Expired tabs of all things. Oh well, happens.

Nice effort, Kenshi2.
There is a guy who posts on the Seecamp sight that makes only Seecamp pocket holsters. There could be a future in it for you.
I have yet to find the correct pocket holster.
I usually just drop it in my back pocket, or use an OWB high rise.
OWB works great unless you get to drop your drawers.
I bought a Kramer pocket holster from a guy, but didn't like it. And the guy let me return it, but I did take a hit on the shipping fees.
I bet the Milt Sparks PCH might work out. It is a little rounded for the front pocket, but this would keep it tight in the back pocket.
Graham Holsters workshop cranks out some nice stuff, also.
Stainless, you should give my design a try. Super low profile with the thin suede and the stuffed hook portion gets rid of 95% of the priting, draws fast and holster stays in the pocket. I really dig this holster style.
Just do not get a ticket going to the leather shop like i did ;g
