Gun Collectors Club - Paddle Holster
The ability to strap on or remove your gun and holster in just seconds is very appealing. No fussing with removing any article of clothing, like a jacket to get the shoulder holster off. No undoing or removing your belt to get the OWB holster off. The next closest quick add or remove would be the IWB holster, but this is so much faster than that.
Paddle Holster w/ full black shark panels w/ ostrich trim piece (color black) w/ Thumb break (hammerless) - Sig P320 AXG Classic - right - LINED with suede - emboss "GJC".
My order was placed on May 16th and my holster arrived at my door on July 5th, a total of 50 days. For a custom made-to-order holster, that's actually really fast! I paid $494 for this holster, which is expensive to be sure, but in my opinion, worth every penny. I also ordered a double mag carrier which hasn't arrived yet for an additional $125, bringing my total to $619.
Any holster from The Southern Trapper comes with a 100 Year Warranty. And it's easy to see how they can stand behind their holsters in this way. This is my third purchase from them and I must say, the quality of their holsters is unsurpassed.
The thumb-break snap is a one-directional snap, meaning that it will only snap on and snap off in one direction. The female piece has a small “lip” on the bottom of the snap. There is a small rim on the male piece. The male piece must be angled behind the female bottom lip to allow the lip to latch onto the male rim.
Once the handgun is inserted into the holster and the thumb-break snap is engaged, the gun is totally secured and protected.
There are guns that you just know right away that you plan to keep and use for the long term. And when I acquire such a gun, my first instinct is to pair it with the best possible holster. In this case, I have a Shark Skin Paddle Holster from The Southern Trapper for my Sig Sauer P320 AXG Classic.
The base price of this paddle holster is $185. Below is a list of the custom features and their related costs.
The first holster I ordered from The Southern Trapper was a shoulder rig for my Colt Government Model. Then I ordered an IWB holster for my Walther PPK/S. And now, this OWB Paddle Holster for my Sig P320 just arrived and it is truly a work of art! And by the way, my belt in the photos is from them as well.
The old saying about "you get what you pay for" is very true many times. So when nothing but the best will do.... remember The Southern Trapper. There is an entire section of this website devoted to gun leather. I've talked about my firm belief that if you are going to carry a gun, it should be secured in a good quality holster.
The last thing I ever want is to have a holster inflict unnecessary wear on the finish of my gun. The tighter fit of the gun in the holster, the more wear that will be inflicted on the gun by holstering and un-holstering it. The looser the fit, the more wear that will be inflicted on the gun by carrying it.
The Southern Trapper has the perfect solution to this dilemma: line the entire interior of the holster with soft suede. At the time of this writing, the additional cost of suede lining is fifty dollars. It will be the best fifty dollars you ever spend on a holster.
If you've read my gun blog much at all, you know I often say "everything in life has a good side and a bad side." The only bad side to a suede-lined holster is that the soft suede will retain dirt and grit if it gets in there. Not mine! Dirt and grit are never going to see the inside of my holsters. It's just not going to happen.
Well, I suppose it could happen. If for example, the People's Liberation Army of Communist Red China invaded the Great State of Alabama and I had to go to our southern border on the Gulf of Mexico as part of the welcoming committee to greet them. There's a lot of sand on those beaches there, and it seems to find its way into everything.
Although, I must admit that the absence of a hammer throws me off, I really love this gun. My black-on-black shark skin and ostrich paddle holster from The Southern Trapper arrived July 5th and I couldn't be more pleased.

Read MoreBob Dylan wrote a lyric in a song that said something like, "if you're not busy being born, you're busy dying." After a health-scare a few years back, I began downsizing my collection. In the process I came to the realization that I didn't have to give up my hobby altogether. It was during this time that I developed a self-awareness that gave me the power to influence the outcome of my endeavor of downsizing.
Early on, I had decided to sell some, give some away and keep some. And as the weeks turned into months and the months turned into years, I developed more self-confidence in my decision making. I also began to understand things more from multiple perspectives. I'm talking about my own outlook, the viewpoint of potential buyers, and the perspective of my friends and family members that I gifted pieces to.
Bob Dylan also wrote a song that said "the times, they are a changing." Boy, are they! Rising concerns about mental health could possibly usher in new gun laws. If our leaders get it right, hopefully any new laws will protect the public without encroaching on our Second Amendment.
Our society and even societal or cultural makeup is changing, and due to the COVID Pandemic many changes have accelerated at a rapid pace. What am I talking about? Take for example...
The future of gun collecting is slowly passing from us Baby Boomers to the Gen Xers. Research describes them as active, happy, and achieving a work–life balance. Optimistically, I believe our hobby will be in good hands.
