When it comes to ordering holsters online.

Ordered one a little while back that was supposed to fit a Sig 226 but the holster is about a quarter inch too narrow and doesn't even appear to be molded for a Sig at all.

Ordered a Blade-Tech for my CZ75 only to find out that apparently the slide on my "B" model single action is made a little different than the standard 75 so it won't fit in the holster.

You Glock guys have it made. At least there aren't various slide designs and configurations to throw a wrench in the holster ordering process.

I "Think" there might be a COM 226 holster in my parts bin.

You can donate your 226 to me and all your problems will be solved[Beer] . Good luck finding a holster, it takes me two or three tries before I find one that truly fit me and my needs.

Must be nice. I can't even seem to find one the handguns will even fit in. Much less one that fits my needs. Lol.

Maybe you should start making them yourself. :)

Steve at coloradoholster cannot make one?

I actually have the stuff to do my own Kydex. Broke my press last time from over tightening it. Plus, my technique still needs work. Only made one holster so far and it didn't quite turn out the way I want.

I haven't deal with Steve but I'm sure he could make me one. My schedule is a little full from now until sometime in July. He would probably want the gun to use to make the holster. Not sure when I'd have time to get it to him.

I haven't built my own holster, but have re-formed Kydex using a heat gun and press (found a IWB Leather/Kydex holster made for some G-Lock, and re-formed it for my M&P40c with Crimson trace grips... works perfect)

I have been ordering my holsters from Daren Kirts. Turn around is a week, and he will do pretty much anything you want. I have had 3 made by him now and am using two in competition that he made to accept the hole patterns of the hangers I like. Here are two.

He does both OWB and IWB and is real easy to deal with. $40 to $65 has been the price range.

Drop me a PM if you want his contact info.

Thanks. Not sure if mine will fit it but we can give it a try.

I've definitely thought about doing that. Still trying to decide between going that route or sending it back or selling it for a fraction of what I paid for it.

Thanks for the info. Once I figure out what I want to do you may be getting a PM from me.

Mine is a CZ-75B, so theoretically it should fit. We'll see.

I actually saw some standard CZ75 B models today and they all had the standard profile slide. I'll try to get a picture or two up to show the difference.

So, here is a standard75. You can see the slide narrows down in front of the dust cover.

This one below is the model I have. Notice the flats on the side of the slide above the frame extend all the way to the muzzle. In other words, the slide doesn't narrow down like on a standard 75. This is why it won't fit in a holster molded for a standard model.

I think its because you have the single action model that's why the slide profile is different.

That appears to be the case.

How does it shoot BTW? Been wanting one for a while.

It shoots better than I do. The CZ75 has always felt great in my hand and points very naturally for me. Like just about every out of the box, factory handgun the trigger could use some work. I'm liking it so far. I probably should have just got a standard 75 because then I could use the same gun in two different classes in IDPA. The single action only is going to limit me to shooting in ESP.

I feel like it will still work if you need it; and now it's in my range bag since I remembered to take the picture. I'll have it around if you've got nothing else. Badshot made it for me years ago and I really like it. Also, I made sure it is IDPA legal.
