Barsony IWB holster review, pics
Posted: January 31st, 2012, 5:44 pm
I've been carrying my P64 for a week or so now, and the Barsony IWB (model recommended for the PPK) seems to be pretty good for the task.
As per my Dad's recommendation, carrying it just to the right of my bellybutton. He's carried this way for 35 years as a Chicago cop (with a Chief's Special .38) and now as a retired cop (with his real PPK), so I value his advice.
Fit is fine, haven't had a problem with reholstering even though it IS a bit floppier than more expensive boned-in items. This is AFTER it has been broken in a bit with my pistol. Previous to this it was a bit difficult and slightly flat.
The holster is made well and the clip is robust heavy-gauge spring steel riveted at the bottom.
I'll try and post some pics below.
It seems to have formed well to the shape of my pistol.
