Just purchased an alien gear holster for the Hellcat. Wasn't expensive and I have had good luck with them. Pretty comfortable for this old man.

Nice - I've always heard good things about Kramer leather.

Fast turnaround time too. Most custom made holster manufacturers I have dealt with in the past are easily between three to six month lead time, sometimes more. These all were a month or less from order to receiving.

That's good to hear, and that's been my experience with most other good holster makers as well. I might just be ordering a Stoner at some point.
Another exception to the long wait times is Simply Rugged. I have a number of them, and I've always been impressed with how quickly I receive my orders from them.

I have been looking into chest holster options for my hunting revolver, had one for my Redhawk which i handed down to a nephew because it was getting to be too much for my arthritis. I am seriously looking at a Simply Rugged pancake with thier Chesty Puller straps.

Their Chesty Puller seems like a sweet way to go.

I just received a notification that the holster ordered for my SA Elite 3.8 10mm has shipped.
I still have about a week to wait for delivery and then break in, I also need to make the optic cut for the Holosun Red Dot mounted on the gun.

Nice, who made it. They do not do the optic cut for you?

It was ordered through a company called (Craft Holsters) it was made specifically for the 10mm platform XDM frame and slide so my hope is break In won’t be to drawn out.
Even though it was made for my specific gun they stated they don’t do optic cuts on their leather holsters
so I’ll just do it myself. Shouldn’t be to difficult. I will say it will be the first holster I’ve purchased without belt loops on the front and rear flanks, the belt slides through on the back of the holster.

Basket weave. Old school like my real leather duty gear. Love it....

I think what you are describing is generally considered a pancake holster which is a bit lower profile than the belt loop on the back.It was ordered through a company called (Craft Holsters) it was made specifically for the 10mm platform XDM frame and slide so my hope is break In won’t be to drawn out.

Since it does not show throat reinforcing a good sharp exacto knife should make quick work of an optics cut. If you need to stretch it a bit just wrap the pistol in cellophane and let it sit in a day or two.
The basket weave is a nice classic look.

So as a follow up to this holster order I have to honestly say I’m upset with myself for not doing research on
(Craft Holsters)
I’m not saying that this is going to be an issue however I found out this is NOT a company based in the USA
Now I do have a FedEx tracking number that is showing travel movement the reviews on customer satisfaction are mixed and the BBB gives them an (F)
I guess I wait to see if I’ll be happy or disappointed.

That part of the world produced your XDs, my favorite bass guitar and has been engineering and manufacturing quality products for a long, long time. These holsters get really good reviews.
