Pyr.
As a matter of fact, I asked for advice on that very subject here on the boards a year or two back. Those posts are gone now though as they were done on a previous version of the software.
There's still a few problems I need to work out. First, what gun do I have the holster made for? This is to be a practical CCW rig and it doesn't have to be "Indy pure." I'm leaning towards having the pocket made for my Makarov, but haven't decided for sure yet. It has the advantage of being smaller and lighter then a full-size gun like a Browning Hi-Power. My other carry gun is a CZ-75 (about the size of a BHP) but I think it might be a little heavy and cause the jacket to sag.
I'm also wondering about some of the other practical details like exactly where the pocket/holster should be located, how should it be reinforced and how do I get a proper fit to the gun since I assume Wested wouldn't have a dummy gun to mold the holster to. I'll probably have to go with a reinforced "generic" holster pocket of about the right size and hope for the best.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
