Dewey Duane Waddell on FB makes some awesome holsters, amongst other leather products.

Thanks for all the info provided in this thread!

I never got along with a Glock. I don't like that second trigger or the fit in my hand. Too blocky.

I'm no expert. I had this guy in Montana make one for me and I really like it. What I like is that it is secured by a strap. If a bear is tossing you around, it might stay secured. To release it, you just give it a tap, and the strap releases. They built it within a few weeks and sent me updates on the status. Really well-run company.

Do you carry when out and about in Anchorage? I'm pretty sure there are custom makers here in Alaska. Call the smaller gun shops and see what they say. Tanana Valley Spotsmans association might know of some.
Laura Berkowitz here teaches the CCW class. Very nice, helpful lady. Google her name and you should find her personal phone #.
Good Luck!
With all the liberal caused problems in Anchorage I can certainly see the need to carry there.

I'll probably never own a Glock, but I recommend them to other people, they are extremely reliable. To me they just feel like holding on to a 2x2, don't like the fit and feel at all.

Which Glock are you referring to? My 43x is identical in shape and feel to my wife's shield

While I don't know about shoulder holsters, I've bought three chest holsters from Diamond D Custom Leather in Wasilla. The quality is unsurpassed but they are a little pricey. Figure on paying around $180.00. They have many holsters in stock that they have produced themselves, but if they don't have what you want on hand they will make a holster specifically for your handgun. I would not hesitate to buy another holster from Diamond D. Look them up on You Tube.

Check Midway they have a good selection.

El Paso Saddelry, R. Grizzle Leather, are great. Sam Andrews makes top notch holsters. Be prepared to wait….

Does anyone know who made the holster that the young mountain lion/hound guy on "Mountain Men" uses? Not hijacking the thread as I am watching this topic closely.

Any I've had ahold of. Not sure that I've had ahold of a 43x, I'm not much of a fan of the Shield either, it has that Glock feel to it, although if asked I would have said it was better than any Glock I had my hands on. Most Glocks I have handled have been full size, and while I've shot 9mms the majority have been 45 or 40, which exacerbates the issue.

I ordered a chest holster from Diamond D.

I also need a shoulder holster for a HK P30 in .40 S&W.

I like the vertical shoulder holster--the style of the X-15 that failed. DD doesn't make one. SJA offered good advice here. The Galco Miami Classic seems to be about as good as it gets for a stock, non-custom holster. Unfortunately, they don't make one for my handgun.

The Glocks feel blocky to me too. Can't say I like the 911 grips either. Too narrow side to side. I tend to prefer double-stack grips like the Sig or HK.
