at Diamond D Custom Leather where Dave Johnston and his crew
make hand made excellent quality leather products
show us around today
have allowed me to visit inside of his factory
give us a demonstration of his
of his most popular
hand made leather holster
it is a fabulous holster and I am very
excited to share it with you and have him demonstrate the quality of it
hi my name is Dave Johnston
owner an operator of Diamond D Custom Leather
ultimate outdoor holster Guide's Choice
what we've got is over the course of the
last few years worked on a design to carry
the gun on your chest so you are able to wear a
backpack waist strap waders anything like that
first clear the gun make sure it is empty
place the gun in
seat it
throw it over your shoulder reach around
all military spec material click it in place
hold the gun where you want it pull it nice and snug
a back pack or waist strap it is out of the way
anatomically the draw is easy to get to
nothing to hinder it if I want to wear it inside a coat
just like this or wear it on the outside of a jacket that's all you have to do to adjust it
if I am carrying binoculars a rangefinder
anything else on my chest I can scoot it over pull it nice and snug
wear it as under the arm holster
very simple not a whole lot of adjustments bring it back boom there you go
what we've done when we
originally designed it we had a retention strap here
one of the first things the guides who field tested did was
eliminate one more motion to make
pull it out sometimes it would hang up so we got rid of that
tension screw that little black button right here
tension screw that's the main tension that holds the gun in place
for a safety back up
we have old fashioned hammer thong
twist over the hammer and there you go
when you are out we suggest that you leave it off your gun will remain in place
takes a dynamic pull and there you go very very simple
strap clip it in place
pull it as snug as you can
very nice
I really like it
forget that you have it on
no matter what pack you have on
comfortable you will have it when you need it
I would like to give a big thank you to Dave Johnston
