DeSantis Speed Scabbard for Sigma 9VE
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:00 am
Given how close in to the body the PA-63 rides in the Don Hume leather holster, I decide to try something in leather for the Sigma. Wanted something with a thumb break, ideally, but found a good deal for the DeSantis on Midway.
Retention is better than a Fobus; no movement or creep when moving around. Looks good, and the fit is exact (it's made specifically for the Sigmas) and has 3 openings to allow canting. Because it holds tighter than a Fobus or Blackhawk, you don't feel the weight anywhere near as much.
It's still quite "creaky" at the moment. I've been wearing it constantly for the last 2 days to help break it in, which goes to show how comfy it is. It's made the Sigma first choice again for carry, as it's more discreet (and more wearable) than anything I've used previously for the Sigma. All in all, a good buy. I didn't think I'd think much about leather up until I got the Don Hume. The DeSantis certainly keeps the side up as far as cowhide is concerned.
The manufacturer's number for the black right hand side version 002BAD8Z0, if anyone's interested. It fits the Sigma CPT, 40G, 9G, SW40GVE, SW40VE, SW9VGE and SW9VE.
