Find a good leather worker in your area. Take your gun and let him pattern it on the weight of leather that's good for you. Have him cant it to your specifications. Color it in your choice of dye. Loops or snaps. If you've spent the money for a kimber you might as well spend the money for a custom holster which may only add $30-50 to the cost and you'll get what you want. Don't want leather? Lots do kydex as well. Sorry. Having Okie here in my town has spoiled me. (But I can't get him to custom make a holster for my RG....hmmm).

He is afraid of what might happen if he trys to wet mold to the RG...

call them with the make and model and they will send a "custom fit" kydex in a few days. Add $10 and get one in carbon fiber and any color you www.clevelandkydex.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1leather has its advantages and disadvantages as does anything I like the leather I have and I like the kydex I have, I have one carbon fiber and I like it a lot

IMO leather is the way to go. I'll snap a pic of one I made later today. If you want to make your own, it isn't all that difficult, just time consuming.

Here is the one I made. It is lined with suede. I made it for right hand draw to be either worn on the right side or on the left with a cross draw.
