Period. This might have something to do with the stink I put up about her wanting to buy a $159 diaper bag... But that was before I knew we were getting a refund (Still though, $159 for a diaper bag? gimme a break!).

Buy her a nice range bag, let her put diapers in it for a few years, clean & disinfect it, then in a few years you have a nice range bag

I did this the opposite way - converting an old diaper bag to a fishing tackle bag - but in hindsight should have purchased with the long-term use in mind, not the temporary 3-year purpose.

Kydex
* Raven Concealment (if you can find one in less than 6 months)
* Atomic Dog (a decent copycat of Raven, supposedly easier to obtain)
* Comp Tac - good selection, belt slide and paddle varieties, great workmanship
* Blade Tech

Leather
as you alluded to, the good custom shops are hard to come by in a timely manner - but look into some police brands
* Bianchi 82, 83, 84 - different versions of same idea, nice high-ride design and unique middle-finger release retention device (safer, IMHO, than the Blackhawk Serpa trigger-finger release button)

Any decently-made leather holster in a "pancake" style will conceal reasonably well.
