   Hello and welcome!  I’m Uncle George and I am a retiree from the University of Texas at Austin.

I'm 61 years old and have been a resident of Austin for 35 years.

 

  Some years ago on October 19, 1991 a 35 year-old man from nearby Belton,Texas drove his pickup truck through a window at a Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen.  He then for the next 15 minutes took his pistol and proceeded to shoot and kill 24 people inside the cafeteria unchallenged.  Walking slowly through the dining room he shot people randomly at close range as they hid underneath tables.  Some were shot as he placed the gun to their heads.  One lady witnessed her parents being shot while her pistol, that she normally carried in her purse,  lay secure in the glove compartment of her vehicle in the parking lot.  After the arriving officers wounded him, he ended it by fatally shooting himself.  

  This incident really bothered me as I have a wife and daughter that I treasure highly.  I couldn’t help but think that if someone had been armed, as many of us are today, the outcome of the Luby’s Cafeteria incident would have been different.  A month after the incident I purchased a little .22 caliber semi-automatic Beretta.  After carrying it loose a week or so in my front pocket, hip pocket and coat pocket, I determined it would be better to have a holster that would keep the pistol in position in my pocket all the time and keep it from printing its outline.  Back then there weren’t many choices, if any, for a little wallet holster that wouldn’t allow the pistol to print its outline.  So, I made one out of some scrap leather from Tandy's and some white wood glue.  It lasted for 18 years despite being dunked underwater twice when I fell out of my boat.  I carried the Beretta for a long time until the Kel-Tec P-32  became available.  Fortunately it fit the holster too so I carried it daily in my hip pocket from then on.  

  Recently I purchased the little Ruger.380 LCP and decided it was time for a new holster so again I made one.  It turned out a little different and better than the original.  I liked it so much that I decided there might be those that might like to have one just like it.

Holster Description
    
Each little holster is made from a premium quality cowhide.
 
It is glued and then lock-stitched using a heavy nylon thread.
 
They are vat-dyed with a black Fiebings Professional Oil Dye.
 
The back leather (8-9 oz.) is a little more than 1/8 inch thick.
 
The molded pocket leather (5-6 oz.) is about 3/32 inch thick.
 
The front surface of the holster is dyed, buffed and polished.
 
The wallet holster is 5-1/8 inches tall and just 4 inches wide.
 
With a Ruger LCP holstered it's 1.07 inches at its thickest part.
 
Due to its construction it is a light weight holster at 1.9 ounces.
 
 
  All my holsters are designed specifically to be carried in the hip pocket although a good amount of positive feedback indicates that there are folks carrying them in their front pockets. Front Pocket Carry.  In most pockets it should keep the pistol in position so that it will be where you expect it to be when there's a need to draw your weapon.  The front molded part that holds the pistol is fairly stiff which helps to retain its shape when the pistol is drawn from the holster.  This helps to make it easier to reholster the pistol without taking the holster out of your pocket.
 
  Pants should be chosen that have a deep enough hip pocket so that the top of the weapon is not revealed.  The edges of the holster have been molded in a bowed shape to more mimic the shape of a wallet.  A new holster will have a tight fit at first but will soon loosen up with use.  This holster is not meant to hold the pistol tight like other holsters that support much larger and heavier pistols that are commonly worn outside the pocket on the belt and elsewhere.  Its function is to keep a small lightweight pistol in your pocket in position to draw.  Experience has shown me that a tight fitting molded pocket holster is more difficult to draw without the holster coming out of the pocket with the pistol.  A slightly loose fit is better.  The combination of the the holster and your hip pocket will retain the pistol in its desired position.

 

This holster is thinner than most wallet holsters currently available.  Due to being constructed of only two layers of leather instead of two layers combined with a snap-on or sewed-on back flap as some pocket holsters are constructed, it is a little more than an eighth of an inch thinner. comparison photos.  The thin lightweight holster combined with the bowed edges make for a comfortable fit in your hip pocket.  The holster will soon mold itself more to your pistol and your rear-end.  Before long it is easy to forget that it is there in your hip pocket.
