Inaugural post...my favorite Mitch Rosen

[ripley16]

My favorite Mitch Rosen is this Premier.
Good fit
Easy on and off.

Shown with my K9.


And another M.R., this one with a P45.

In my opinion a good holster and a good belt are very important piece of the carry experiance. Nice leather you have there!!!

Mitch is the Guy. Progressed on the same lines as Justin Moon. He had the interest, knew what He wanted and was interested in, couldn't get it, so he sacrificed his comfortable and financially secure life, and is now Mitch Rosen Leather. Great story and a great guy, complimented with excellent employees. Complete customer support, absolute product perfection.

I have the Premier OWB with snaps......like you. Nice and tight to the body. Mine was so well molded that it took some time (and lube) to break in well enough so that I could draw easily. I can just imagine what Mitch's "higher end" model is like. My favorite OWB holster bar none. The CompTac kydex model (similar) is also nice....but I much prefer leather.

I don't care as much for the "belt slot" pancake models as they are more troublesome to get positioned right, although they do allow the weapon to hug to your body a bit more closely.

The "snaps" model allows you to reposition your holster/firearm slightly while on the belt to gain the perfect feel...and to adjust it even better for car seats, etc. A big plus in my mind.

That's not "molding". That's someone, trained by Mitch, hand boneing the leather. Form fit and tight, oh ya, get out the lube, (whoops, sorry, I flashed). Most excellent gun belts and mag holders too. Don't see what you want, call or e-mail them, I'll bet you can get it made. Any time I asked Kahr for something that they didn't offer, Rosen wise, they said , call Mitch, he'll make it for you. No, I don't work for them, and I have paid asking price for everything I have, gladly!

I love my MR belt slide for my PM45. I just purchased a PM9 and noticed that it fits perfectly in the same holster. Anyone else use a MR holster for both handguns.

[4T5Guy]

I had the belt slide that I wanted for my PM9, and wanted one that matched it, (and the one I had for my P380), when I got my PM45. Not availible. I could have gotten one made, but while deciding on what to do, I tried the 45 in the 9. After lube and gentle "bending", it was reformed to the 45. The trigger/and guard is covered almost as much as the 9, and the barrel is still well short of the end of the holster. The only problem was, I now had a holster for my 45 and not my 9. Of course the 9 was a bit loose in it's old holster, and not happy. I just ordered a duplicate holster for the 9 and am now set. Three matching Kahrs with their own matching Mitch Rosen holsters and belt. I know, kinda compulsive for something that is hardly ever seen.

Why No Section for Gould and Goldstein Products for Kahr

Mitch Rosen makes great products for Kahr, no doubt about it. In fact I am looking at their IWB for CTL, but wish it was in black to match all my other gear.

I was wondering why they have a special sub section on this forum (with other kahr related products) but Gould and Goodrich does not. G&G also offers great products for Kahr. To be fair and provide the exposure to Kahr owners with other good Kahr related products, G&G should have a section in the forum just like the other manufacturers!:7:
Thanks for considering WebMaster and Moderators.

Duh!!! I'm just a goof ball...ha ha. I just noticed that Mitch Rosen is a "sponsoring member" and am assuming that G&G is not and therefore are not listed. Stupid ME!!! (But G&G does have nice products, if that helps to make up for my ignorance...haha.)

I think you nailed it there Gary, its up to them weather to be here or not. On this I'm just guessing of course, I'm not in the know on how all this stuff works. I have to believe if they wanted to be here, they would be welcomed with open arms.
I can attest that G&G does make good stuff, I use some and the fellas at the dept have lots of G&G stuff as well.
To be fair I have some Mitch Rosen rigs also and they are top notch, good stuff.

[Knuckler]

To answer the question about that Mitch's Full Detail ("high end") rigs are like....here you go. I have a few. I think that Mitch's work is the best in the business, bar none. (I have owned rigs by Milt Sparks, Kramer, Del Fatti, etc...none are built as well as Mitch;s stuff.) They are designed and built to be heirloom quality (As in...I can hand these to my kids after I have beat on them for 20 years...), and are built to withstand HARD use...while still being incredibly comfortable.

This is a 5JR Pres and 5DM mag carrier for my old duty gun, a Sig P229R in .357SIG. I wore this for over 6 years. It got beat on, but still looks new. The extra work that goes into the full detail rigs is all done by hand, one at a time. The leather is worked, with hand tools, to fit the exact gun, so that the weapon "clicks" in like it is made of kydex. That is why it looks like you can see an outline of the gun. Even after 6 years of hard use, the craftsmanship is so good that I can hold the holster upside down, with a full loaded gun in it, and it still holds it in place. (Last pic.).





One of the reasons that his rigs are so comfortable is because the actually curve around your shape.





Here is the last shot of this rig.....held upside down, with a fully loaded duty gun in it. Remember...Six years old, and has seen HARD use.

[Knuckler]

Here are a few more....

Ankle holster for a J Frame. Worn, daily, for 5 years. I have, literally, kicked the living s**t out of this. Fishing, foot pursuits, driving, etc. Still looks great, and hold the weapon perfectly. And, unlike other "competing" rigs, doesn't stick out 4 inches from my boot.







His full detail pocket holster....The suede side faces outward to break up the outline of the gun.





A 5DM for my 1911. The mags sit in a "V" shape, instead of side by side, so that the carrier wraps aound the body, and so that the mags are easier to get to.

[Knuckler]

And...lastly.....one of his full detail shoulder rigs. Picked this up last night. I was BLOWN away by the quality, and how comfortable it is. Years ago, I owned a Galco Miami Classic. Hardware was all cheap plastic, the leather was thin and cheap, and I got rid of it because it wasn't that comfortable. Mitch's rig is really nice leather, ALL of the hardware is solid Brass, and it is so well designed that the gun doesn't need tie downs to keep the pistol from flopping around. Incredibly comfortable.









I have several other holsters on the way for my new 1911...I will post them here as they arrive......I HATE that wait. Hate it.

[Bawanna]

Very nice stuff, I just love leather. Excellent post, nice leg, nice marble. Now you make me want a Mitch Rosen ankle rig and a shoulder rig for my Cbob. I have the Galco SSII and it parylises me in the neck after a couple hours. Proabably just me and maybe any shoulder rig would do the same. But yours still makes me want one to try anyhow.

I'm cursed with wants.
