I just order a Black Ops Pro holster from Pure Kustom. The holster is designed to work as both as a IWB and OWB. I called up Rocky, the owner, and he had one for me in stock and he shipped it to me the same day. So, I will be stalking the mail lady soon. I will carry it for a couple weeks and then I will update with a detailed review.

Take some time and look around his site, his holsters look awesome: http://www.purekustom.com

They do look pretty cool. I like the wood-burned grips he offers. Let us know how the holster functions when it arrives.

Fast 2 day shipping! I order on Wednesday and the holster was on my doorstep today (Friday).
Here some opening pics. The color is dark saddle brown. The loops screw off so you can use it as a OWB.
I currently have it wrapped in a zip-lock with gun holster to break it in. The holster come extremely tight and this process is supposed to loosen it up.

I'll be honest in that I'm a leather holster snob. That being said it looks like you've got a really nice holster there. The stitches are straight and tight to the gun, the molding is crisp, the overall shape/design is good, and the edges are nice and smooth. All things that I look for in a quality leather holster.

Looks like a great holster! I'm considering getting one.

No need for ziplock bags or anything.

Get a hairdryer and heat up the holster using the "HOT" setting. The heat will not harm the finish or the leather. Heat the body side holster so that it's toasty warm. Put it on. Now heat the outside. Keep wearing it and let it thoroughly cool.

Once the holster is back to room/body temperature, test it. You may need to repeat two or three times.

What is happening is that the leather reacts to heat. It expands and contracts around the object. This is why broken-in cowboy boots looks the way they do: you can see the outline of the foot.
