**Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
I have read quite a few reviews of various holsters here but see that many times the makers don't produce one for
my Colt Govt .380. So I thought I would reach out to see who actually carries the same Colt and might have a suggestion
for an IWB holster. Ultra concealment and comfort is key. Any thoughts or even some pics?
Thanks,

We offer a couple of different styles of holster for the Colt Govt .380. Our Custom Belt Defender, which is geared toward the smaller guns, would meet your needs for IWB carry. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
I too have a Colt Govt. 380, and have been searching for a while. I've found several possibilities PLUS the one mentioned above. Thanks K-Man!
Here are the one's I've found that have caught my fancy:
KD Holsters: http://kdholsters.com/pd.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
D.M.Bullard: http://estore.websitepros.com/1565531/D ... ok?no=1154" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In holsters you get what you pay for. The quality of the top 4 are great and they are the one's I'm leaning toward. Decisions, decisions.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
Thanks, I"ll look those over. It sure would be great to go somewhere and see/feel some examples of these. I would
hate to order one, wait weeks and then be disappointed that it is too bulky or something like that.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
I've heard gun shows are a great place to shop for holsters. It makes sense as they draw the regional crowd. If not that, then the local gun stores. But that's a hit or miss.
I have full confidence in the top 4 on my list. I'm leaning for a tuckable holster, so the choice is down to 2, and the D.M. Bullard has an excellent reputation, so I'm leaning toward that one. You can use the Search function for a specific holster maker and get lots of good comments.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
Well, I told you guys I would give a report on the Ross holster I ordered. I still dont' have it after ordering it October 21st. I realize that receiving the holster might take a while but it's been 5 weeks now.
I ordered it from ccwsupply.biz and have sent them 4 emails over the past week asking for a status - today I went to their website, got the phone number and it said the mailbox was full.
Has anyone here used these guys before? If I don't get a response in a week or so I will ask the credit card company to reverse the charges.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
Sorry to hear you're getting the run around from the seller. That was really my first choice but I wound up getting a Don Hume IWB at the Ft.Worth Gun Show a month back. I paid $30 for it and couldn't be happier. It conceals great, but it's not a tuckable. I'm a lefty and wear it mostly in the 10 o'clock position. It never gets in the way, and it's accessible when in the car with a seatbelt.
I wish you luck!

Mine isn't a Govt model but I think they may be the same size and everything for the most part. Mine is a MK IV/Series 80 Mustang.
I hope these pics help. The holster is made by Tagua and run about 25.00-35.00. I like it. Its made of a pretty nice grade stiff leather that breaks in and forms to your pistol fairly quickly if you just leave it in there for a few days.
Its pretty universal... if you notice it has belt slots on both sides so you can either wear it between the belt and the body or traditionally on the hip. Also, with the clip you can use it IWB. It's also fully amphibious(R or L hand draw) so you can position it around the clock for the most comfortable carry.

I suggest you guys stay away from ccwsupply.biz there are alot of complaints on the net about him doing the same to
others. I have emailed numerous times and each time I call it says his voice mailbox is full.

Re: **Colt Govt .380 Holster Suggestions**
Just incase some of you are following this I thought I should update again. I just received the Ross IWB holster to this vender is off the hook finally.
As far as the holster itself goes I am very pleased with it's quality. I am ready to get it a bit more softened up though. Maybe I can post some pics eventually.
