1-Slot / Askins Style Holster Acrylic Template Set - Compact

1-Slot / Askins Style Holster Template Set – Compact

Compact guns demand a holster that disappears with them. The Askins/Nelson No.1 style is a proven single-slot design that rides close, draws clean, and looks like it was made by a pro — because it was made with a pro's template. Published since 2014 with thousands of copies sold.
