I carry my Pug in my front pocket, and it is pretty hard to draw while seated. I usually wear a wellington boot when out and about, so I decided to try to design a boot holster that I could draw from while seated. I chose my LR mini as the boot gun, because it is slightly thinner than my Pug or Mag mini. I wanted a holster that (1)could not come out of my boot, (2) my mini could not come out of the holster, (3)I could draw from easily. This is my prototype. It is not a thing of beauty with the odd holes and bad stitching, but it is quite functional. I have worn it serveral hours at a stretch and can forget it is there. I know that not many men these days wear this type boot, but has anyone seen any simular holster for any type firearm? Note that the holster attaches to the pull loop. Not all pull loops have enough slack inside the boot for this.   Patriotjoe Message Board Member Username: Patriotjoe Post Number: 81 Registered: 04-2011 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2011 - 05:38 pm:        Great idea.

I'm thinking about a kydex style for retention purposes. This looks pretty good though! Maybe a thumb-break would be in order for some speed drawing?   Dinadan Message Board Member Username: Dinadan Post Number: 256 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2011 - 07:00 pm:        Jupiter - I did not want to use a clip because I just do not consider it secure enough in my boot. The thunb break might be better. Patriotjoe - do that and I will buy it.   Grayelky Message Board Member Username: Grayelky Post Number: 1215 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 12:00 am:        I don't wear boots much anymore, but I find this to be a really neat idea, especially the way you attached it to the boot. Like Jupiter7, I feel a thumb break is a good idea, and almost a necessity.   Mndoug Message Board Member Username: Mndoug Post Number: 850 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 10:05 am:        Dinadan --> I don't have a comment on the holster, but those legs deserve to have something said about them!   Louiethelump Message Board Member Username: Louiethelump Post Number: 332 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 10:15 am:        That is for sure!!!

The ankle holsters NAA sells will fit around a boot, too.   Patriotjoe Message Board Member Username: Patriotjoe Post Number: 82 Registered: 04-2011 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 04:20 pm:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320717431346 This is what I came up with today.   Skarrd Message Board Member Username: Skarrd Post Number: 143 Registered: 02-2011 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 06:16 pm:        i have been using a modified Uncle mikes for a boot holster[sewed the sides on it]and it works pretty good for 'ol Stubby,   Dinadan Message Board Member Username: Dinadan Post Number: 257 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2011 - 08:20 pm:        Patriotjoe - I see that on Ebay you only take paypal.

Nice job of re-finishing it. It looks factory.   Patriotjoe Message Board Member Username: Patriotjoe Post Number: 93 Registered: 04-2011 Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2011 - 07:03 pm:        Dinadan, I have not heard from you. Do I need to hold on to the holster and wait for a money order?   Gedarty Message Board Member Username: Gedarty Post Number: 21 Registered: 01-2010 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2011 - 09:06 pm:        Being right handed I ordered a IWB RH holster from NAA for my Pug. I wear it in my left boot on the right side. Works pretty well.
