Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I had originally planned on carrying a Walther PP .380 for my Concealed Carry. The more I fired it, the less satisfied I was with the gun. I've been carrying my Baby Desert Eagle .45 ACP instead, and I've been much happier with it.Originally Posted by ray1970

Check out Kramer Leatherworks. They are the only manufacturer I found that makes specific fit holsters for the Baby Eagle. As mentioned above, they do have a number of women's specific holsters, which take into account women's typically shorter waists and the fact that you have hips.

Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Thank you!
What are the pros and cons to leather holsters, especially IWB?

The pros of leather over Kydex are as follows.
- More comfortable (especially IWB)
- Looks much better
- Less finish wear on the gun (this is debatable so I expect some pushback on this one)
- Silent draw/re-holster (not sure how important this is)
- less bulky
- Looks much better (yes, I mentioned this twice)
Pros of Kydex
- Kydex is usually cheaper
- slightly better retention (again this is a huge point of contention so there will be those that disagree)
- Generally one handed re-holstering is easier
- Tackti-cool
Hybrid holsters are generally the best of both but are fugly.
All said and done I prefer leather over Kydex ... but would still consider a Kydex or hybrid (most likely hybrid).

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
