Why is it so hard to find a LEFTY holster!!!

[dwp9mm]

I have been carrying a gun since '92 and it is still just as hard to find a LH holster as it was back then. I have reacently ordered a holster online to carry my Kimber CC in and it has taken 2 weeks and still not here yet. It really gets frustrating that no one carrys LH holsters and when they do they only have them for something you dont have. If LEFTY's are good enought to buy a gun then they should be able to buy a holster for it. Sorry for the rant but it really gets to me.

because only like 2% of people are left handed?

 

[dwp9mm]

Maybe, but our money is just as good.

 

[threefiftyfour]

Look at it from a supplier's view. If you stock 100 right and 100 left, you will have to wait 20 as long to sell off the lefts.

 

[dwp9mm]

Im not asking that they carry 100. At least carry 2 or 3 for each kind of gun they sell.

I know your pain..Its bad enough most of us leftys have to adapt to the handguns since most are set up for rightys.Atleast offer a good selection of holsters for us.

 

[Mosinguy]

I am nearly 99% left handed. The one percent is right handed shooting. It just makes everything easier. I seem to shoot better right handed anyways

 

[cedartop]

I have found lefty selection to be much better than it used to be, that could just be because I don't buy cheap holsters anymore.

 

[jb1911]

Most lefties are in favor of gun control and are scared to death of weapons. Oh, you mean left handed.

A rant like this means that you've found a market opportunity. You've identified a problem. Now find a way to solve it and you can cash in...

I have a left-handed Uncle Mike's Size 1 I will sell you for $12 shipped to your address.

My son bought it for a SOB carry but it did not fit his weapon. Never been used.

Don't feel awful. I ordered an IWB from DM Bullard and it took several months to get to me. Freakin' rediculous. I just order from GALCO now. It may be a large quantity manufacturer, but it doesn't take forever.

 

[JettaKnight]

I use Crossbreed IWB holsters. Since they're made to order, it doesn't matter which way you want it.

It does take time, but patience is a virtue. If you want a LH holster fast, go to the 1500 and get a Raven kydex holster made while you shop.

 

[Tebow]

I'm with you, it's ridiculous.

God only made a few perfect people, the rest are right handed.

 

[TopDog]

In this case eBay is your friend. I constantly see left handed holsters listed there. It seems to be the place that retailers go to discount and dump their left handed holsters.

 

[dwp9mm]

Finally got my new Kimber holster today. Took long enough but at least I got it. There are a lot of good reply's so thanks for feeling my pain!

 

[grunt soldier]

get with some local kydex people and just have it made

 

[armedindy]

cuz the left hand is the hand of the DEVIL!!!!

 

[wolfman]

Check out Fist Holsters. ALL of their holsters are available left handed (click on Options & Alterations). I have the #7 for my 1911 and love it.

I noticed this problem soon after buying my first handgun. For a long time I only owned a shotgun and never gave it a second thought, but as soon as I went looking for a holster I felt this pain.

The worst part is getting email ads from manufacturers showcasing their new holster wares and thinking, "Oh great, that looks awesome. I want one! Please take my money." Only to realize, once reaching their website, that they won't do business with me: grrrrr.

One of the things I've always appreciated about my Beretta guns is that they are either ambidextrous from the factory or user-configurable to left-handed without gunsmithing tools. Unfortunately, they don't adhere to the same practices with their holster offerings.

I really wanted one of those TacLoc holsters that ViridianGreenLaser sells, but they only offer them in right-handed models. I even sent them a request for a custom one and offered them big bucks and they denied me. All it takes is a new plastic mold. Come on.

End rant.
