Hello, I was reffered to this site a few months ago by one of my customers but I haven't had too much time to check it out. I don't normally solicite my holsters too often but I figured I'd show off some of the ones I make. I started off like most as a hobby and soon went off the deep end buying tools and equipment and improved my techniques over time. My shop is about as small as it gets and I do almost everything by hand. I'm very dedicated to producing the best possible product, sometimes this cost more and takes longer but it usually looks better in the end. I'll post a few pictures and keep them Kahr related but anyone is welcome to check out my site at www.mccabescustomleather.com (http://www.mccabescustomleather.com) or my old "site" which is a blog site that I'll still be maintaining at www.mccabescustomleather.blogspot.com (http://www.mccabescustomleather.blogspot.com)

I certainly am not trying to take any work away from any resident holster makers here, and if my post is in any way unappropriate feel free to delete it.
This is an IWB, tuckable with a metal clip for the P380

This one is for the PM9 with Jclip which can be swapped out for the metal clips. This one has a gusset in the joint which is why the stitch line is back a bit from the trigger guard.

This one isn't for a Kahr but I didn't have any OWB pictures for a Kahr on my computer.

Here's a concealed carry gun belt that I make, I don't normally use those buckles but it looked good for the picture.

Since I'm way off topic already I might as well through a Glock holster in there as well, this one with a reinforced mouth.

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures, I certainly can't post pictures of everything but I make them with belt loops as well as the the non-tuckable stationary clips but the tuckable ones have been quite popular and that holster design works really well with all sizes of pistols.

Thanks,
Billy McCabe

Thanks Billy. Some nice work. I really like the belt.

Do you get your clips from the same source as Crossbreed. That looks like their logo.

Thank you for the compliment. The clips are in fact Crossbreed clips, I buy them directly from Crossbreed. They have them made with the cross stamp on them. I would prefer to have plain ones made in a similar design but Id have to order them in very large quantities. I've used other clips that work about the same but the Crossbreed ones I think look the best and are slightly wider, they also are the same shape as the Jclip so my holsters work fine with either.

Thanks again.

I have a couple of McCabe custom holsters for my BG380. Ordering from Billy is a personal experience. The quality of his work is excellent, the fit and finish superb. He will work wiht you if you want/need any special adjustments or design alterations. His only drawback is that it takes him time to do a good job and his lead time may be 8 weeks or so. This is not a place to order quickly off the shelf. These are custom holsters and well worth the price.

Doctorbob is who told me about this site. He is correct, I'm not the guy to go to for a cheap and quick holster. I'm more of the "I want a really nice holster for my nice gun" guy. The prices are reasonable though and are just about as low as I can go without cutting any corners or skimping on materials. This past year has been very busy for me and I normally maintained a lead time of 8-12 weeks, I'm a little ahead now and it's probably 5-8 weeks depending on the order. I also have a rush service for those who are a little less patient.(I would probably fall into this category).
