After trying lots of different type holsters, the small of the back holster is the best, for nearly any application where a fast draw (and reholster) is not imperative. It's more comfortable (even when seated or driving) than other alternatives, very covert, and provides a super accessible and confident draw. I now own three.

This is the third holster I have purchased from Craft Holsters and all have been good. Their craftsmanship is excellent and their customer service is great to work with. Had to stretch the thumb band to reach but their directions on this were easy to follow and worked perfectly. It’s hard to find left-handed holsters so to find one and have it be the perfect fit is amazing.

Fine holster. Nice leather, great fit, fast service. Delivered ahead of projected date. I now have two.
