This waiting makes me envious of Arizona and Alaska CCW laws.

Just ordered my holster from http://hhholsters.highwire.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's just like the CrossBreed but cheaper. Figured for $55 with a lifetime warranty, what the heck. I'll give it a try and support a small business. Going to wear it around the house until my CHL comes in. Should be another 2-3 weeks.

That one looks pretty nice..

I order the desantis intruder (crossbreed style holster) for my Ruger lc9. It's a great holster... it was only $50. I wear it around the house everyday after work.

Lol it makes me want that plastic even more... :drool:

I cant see spending $80+ on a belt. I've been to a few western stores and looked at stiff belts and they seem they might work. Anybody else have an input? I haven't carried concealed yet so I cant compare it to anything.

I've heard that the beltman belts will last longer than you will... I don't own one... but I may own one very soon.

Oh.. and the website is: thebeltman.net

Lol go i can't even read what's written on beltman.com (russian?).

Congrats!!! Almost there...

On the belt man, sorry bout that :???: THEbeltman.com he he guess the Russians got beltman.com before the guy who actually makes the belts! I have too many times tried to be cheap with buying stuff and then in the end just spending the money to get the high quality thing.. so in this case, i read a lot of good things on THEbeltman and one of my coworkers also recommended him.. so i figured might as well.. it is definitely a well made belt, sticker then
