Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Mernickle Holsters... you won't regret it. Too bad you didn't say something earlier. I was just talking to Bob Mernickle at the Reno Gun Show yesterday. I bought my wife two holsters for her new P938 (IWB & OWB). I have 3 or 4 of his holsters already. From my 5" 1911 to my Derringer. Great leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I also suggest his leather belts. I own two and wear them every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Make sure you check all the leather treatments he can do, because there are alot of them! I've got this exact holster for a 4" 1911, and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 What do you mean by treatments brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 All the different materials, leather colors, carved or uncarved, airbrushed, etc. He offers alot of stuff. Take your time and pick a good one. Mine for the 4" 1911 is the Sunset Duotone. Love that holster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I prefer Nylon holsters myself , remove the clip & throw them in the washer , but also like those Leather Mernickle ones . I'm just cheap , what can I say . <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have Mernickle holsters, can't go wrong. Also have kydex, which I feel is better for duty type draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 With either leather or kydex, you get what you pay for...to a point. I've seen the less expensive kydex snap when rolling around on the ground. The less expensive leather seems to wallow out with hard use. Mernickle is some GREAT stuff!

Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Here's some of mine. This is my EDC. All my leather (including the belt) is made by Bob Mernickle, in the mahogany red/brown color. 2:00/IWB = Walther PPK/s .380 4:00/OWB = Springfield TRP Operator .45ACP 8:00 = Dual 1911 mags. CMC Power+ 10 10:00/OWB = Maverick .357Mag Derringer (Xdraw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 PS. I'm 5'10" 185# and none of these print through a button up shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Those look mighty nice, I think I'm gonna have to buy one of these. Thank you for the pictures. For the appendix carry one you have is it very comftdrable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's a cheap Eagle nylon holster. I think I scored it as an extra in a gun deal. It was so simple and slim that I never stopped using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ah ok, do you own a leather one for the same carry position you could compare to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Give me a few weeks for delivery. I just ordered one for the P938. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ah, the lead time is a few weeks? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ah, the lead time is a few weeks? Thanks again They have a LOT of holsters on hand. If they have it, you'll get the holster in a few days. If they have to make it from scratch, they ask you be patient for up to 5 weeks. I don't think I've ever waited that long. The only one I special ordered was for my TRP Operator, due to the full length rail. I still only waited 3 or 4 weeks. The Derringer, Double Mag holder and Glock G17 were all immediate.

98Z5V Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm not kidding you guys, when I met Rob the first time (which is a funny story all by itself... <lmao>), he had all that stuff on. ALL OF IT. He says, "what are you carrying?" At the time, I have the 4" 1911 with 8rd mag and one in the chamber, plus a 10rd spare mag. I ask him, "What are YOU carrying?" It was like a cartoon - he kept pulling out more and more stuff... <laughs> Not long after that trip, I picked up the XD45, 13rd mag and one in the chamber, with two 15rd mags as spares. 44 rounds of .45 ACP on me - just so I could feel "adequate" if he showed up again... :eek: <lmao> Love, ya, brother! :happydrunks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
