Default Dad's New Rig

I have been a big fan of Nick Matthews' NM Holsters for some time. The quality of his holsters far exceeds the price he charges, and his turn around time is fast, fast, fast!

My dad, who has just started down the CCW trail, is still trying to figure out what is gonna work for him. So, taking my advice, and fully understanding that he WILL have a box/ and or drawer full of holsters before he's through, he ordered two of Nicks NM#1's. One for his Glock 20 and one for his 1911. Well, since he has his Colt locked up way back in the safe, he asked me to "break in" the holster for the 1911.




These rigs ride low enough in the waist line to conceal well, yet still afford a full grip.





It'll be Hell breaking this thing in, but I'll do it, just for Dad!

Both dapper virile men AND he drives a Ford!

He has mentioned wanting a little S&W or LCR for a daily carry piece that he can pocket carry. I hope he gets used to carrying. I'm turning into a worrywart when it comes to my folks safety now adays.
