I made myself a holster to carry my M69 in the same location on my body. Only after going to the trouble did I discover the respective offerings from Kenai and Wasilla. Both are well made, quality items. I like the one I made just fine but if I had to start over I'd just go with the Guide's Choice since it's leather. I can tell you close range deer panic at the sound of a gun coming out of kydex.
