Kydex holster too tight

[Koda]

Well thats good news.
I find a lot of holster companies are small operations, so things can get misplaced.


Note, you broke the groundhog day loop...

Interesting what happens when such a scenario is called out publicly.

Six months after sending the holster, I still have no holster. I asked for it back: no response. I think I'm done with Cascadia Concealment.

It is unfortunate. I've run into these small businesses before and I like to support them, but half the time they just disappear or "personal" matters get out of hand. I'm out $96 and some time, and I just wish he'd send the stupid thing back and I could work on it myself.

Did you ever get the second holster you ordered?

No, when he responded I asked him to cancel it.

Too far out to file a USPS claim or an auto chargeback with your CCC, but you might still contact them. Some CCC's won't do an auto chargeback but will pursue a dispute for you. Basically contacting the retailer to apply some pressure and giving them a fixed amount of time to respond to their charge/refund eligibility verification request.

I recently did this on a 10 month old charge. After about 45 days the retailer hadn't responded so they issued a temporary refund credit to my account. Once that temporary credit was issued (taken from the merchant) it prompted the merchant to finally respond to the CCC's charge verification letter. They verified I was due a refund and the temporary credit became permanent. I asked what would have happened if they merchant continued not to respond to them and they said the merchant had 30 days to dispute the chargeback or respond to their letter. If they failed to then the temporary would have become permanent anyway.

That only works if the merchant still has an active CC merchant account. If the company is belly up and their merchant account is closed, it may not be an option.

The moral of the story: It may be outside of the CCC chargeback policy but it still may not be too late to recoup your loss.

YMMV

So if I read the story correctly, he still owes you a holster fixed or not. Id give another call, but Id also move on.

Ive had good experiences with Precision Holsters, they make both IWB and OWB options for your P226.

Thanks for the suggestion on an alternate vendor.

I've messaged him again, asking for either the holster to be shipped back or I could come and pick it up.

Funny enough, I would have just taken a "no thanks" back in December, rather than this whole debacle.

I'm giving up on this. Obviously Arron either isn't capable of responding or he's reprehensible. I'm going to assume the first thing. I hope no one deals with Cascadia Concealment again.

I would have given up 10 1/2 months ago

Yeah, it doesn't take long to fire off an email, but I ran across my old thread and figured I'd close it out.

Did you end up buying a different holster?

 

[ilikegunspdx]

I don't own that brand but the ones I use have an adjustment screw to controll tension. I've never had mine tighten up, sometimes they get to loose and a couple turns of the set screw and it's fixed

Same here. Adjustment screw is nice to have. One gun has a combo kydex covered by leather and it's really comfortable. Adjustment screw to get perfect amount of retention.

Not yet. I have one for open carry that I use sometimes but still looking for a conceal carry.

I get excellent service from Knightfall Customs and their holsters have excellent retention and draw.

IMO select the dual belt hooks instead of the single clip.

IWB

I'm finding most of these custom houses don't have P226 molds. However since knightfall 3D prints molds from scans, they might be able to set one up. Probably would be expensive though.

I forgot you have a 226, not as common but there are some out there from quality companies.
You can call Knightfall and he might be able to custom make one for you, he worked with me on a custom holster like that recently. I dont think their 3D molds are holsters.

Try the Ultra Carry IWB by precision holster, good quality

These are very comfortable cuz outside is leather. Inside is kydex. Sits a little too high for my likening but I like to carry extra, extra deep. Multiple p226 versions. Adjustable retention.

I would think a 228 holster would also work for you.

Not unless it an open bottom, which I still find less than ideal. I'd rather have a longer than a shorter holster to slide length.
