Over the last month I've been working on more kydex holsters and have a OWB profile that I now like.
I have looked at a ton of kydex holsters on-line and my biggest complaint is that most of them build a straight drop holster that is very wide, which is fine for a class but when it comes to CCW they just don't hide.
What i've decided on is a holster that has a 10-15 degree cant, has belt loops that are only as wide as necessary to clear the gun. By keeping the loops close together the holster sucks the gun in very tight to the body, the cant allows quick access to the gun.
We are using .08 kydex which seems to be the best combination of durability and minimal bulkiness, loops are .125 for added strength.
Holsters will be available for over 40 gun/laser combinations. We will also be offering single and double pistol magazine carriers, as well as AR15 Pmag and standard aluminum magazines.
Pricing will be competitive and we are hoping to keep lead times very reasonable.
Here are some pictures of recent holsters.

Rules of Gunfighting
1. Have a gun.
a. Preferably, have at least two guns.
b. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
b. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
a. Bring ammo.
i. The right ammo.
ii. Lots of it.
ii. Lots of it.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
5. Proximity negates skill. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun… and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works every time. “All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.”
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
a. “If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your mission properly.”
12. Have a plan.
a. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.
13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
14. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your own flank.
15. Don’t drop your guard.
16. Always perform a tactical reload and then threat scan 360 degrees.
17. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
18. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
20. Be polite. Be professional. But… have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
21. Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.
22. Your number one option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
23. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a “4.”
a. Nothing handheld is a reliable stopper.
24. Carry the same gun in the same place all the time.

300 AAC Blackout - Noveske Rogue Hunter AR15
Noveske 16" Rogue Hunter 300 AAC Blackout Upper
S&W Lower Receiver w/Mil-Spec Components
CMMG 2-Stage Trigger
Magpul Foliage Green MIAD Grip
Magpul Foliage Green CTR Stock
LaRue FUG Vertical Grip
LaRue Scope Mount
Nikon Gold 1.5-6 30mm Scope
Finally finished up some round of 300blk using 5-10yr old 125gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and some recently purchased Sierra 110gr JHP Varminter bullets.
Loaded up 5rd groups of three different powder levels for each and a couple of 2rd combos of higher powder levels for the NBT's.
Here are the rounds ready to go to the range:
These are the first rounds out of my Noveske 16" Rogue Hunter (All groups were shot at 25yds because I have had no ammo to sight in until now, but some show potential).
Nosler Ballistic Tips loads:
2rd "Group"(Checking for pressure, but has potential):
Reformed LC Brass
Winchester WSR Primer
Hodgdon H110 Powder
Trim Length 1.358"
OAL 2.086"
Sierra 110gr JHP Varminter Rounds:
Reformed LC Brass
Winchester WSR Primer
Hodgdon H110 Powder
Trim Length 1.358"
OAL 1.986"
My chronograph was having issues, or maybe it was me since I bought it in 1996 and haven't used it in 10 years.....
The higher charge Nosler Ballistic Tip rounds were running in the high 2,200's, the higher charge Sierra Varminter rounds were mid to high 2,400's.
Not sure where the upper limit of this round is but I didn't see much if any pressure signs and the NBT rounds didn't start locking back the BCG until around 18.3grs of H110. Sierra Varminter rounds locked back the BCG on all charges, for the time being i'm going to load around 20.5grs of H110, unless Hodgdon or some else recommends other.
Few more pictures of the gun.
NOTE: Loads not necessarily safe in all guns.
