Hi Darvell,

It does seem like a nice little holster. I agree with you about the
slide issue with the wallet holster. If you're willing to settle for
a one-shot gun, a derringer would be a better choice. I think I'll
decide first on whether or not I'm going to put wood grips on mine
before I buy one. That way I can have Matt make a custom size
Holdster to fit my gun. Maybe you could have him do the same to fit
your .380 with the wood grips.

Regards,

Joe
