Product Description
The Don Hume H721 (or "Double Nine") is made with a metal reinforced thumb break with recessed snap and double stitched sew lines at stress areas. This pancake style holster features two belt slots for easy positioning on the belt line, as well as a fully covered trigger. The H721 has a slight forward cant, rides very close to the body without riding too high. It offers a very good balance of concealment, security, and comfort. It is available in Black or Saddle Brown and fits belts up to 1 3/4".
For all single action weapons, this holster is designed so the thumb break works with cocked & locked carry (hammer back). This holster model is NOT available in a version for hammer down carry for a single action weapon.
How to tell if they holster model you are interested in is in stock: On the dropdown menu out beside each holster, there will be a notification if the holster is in stock or out of stock. In stock holsters will be marked as "In Stock" and out of stock holsters will be marked as "Preorder: 30 to 90 day ETA".
Some commonly asked questions about this model:
#1 - I like the style, but is this model available without a thumb break?
Yes, Don Hume offers this same model without a thumb break, and it's called the H721-OT (Open Top). You can read more about the OT model by following this link.
#2 - Does this holster ride at a 15 degree forward cant?
Not exactly. Don Hume doesn't provide an actual degree measurement of the cant, but it's slightly less than 15 degrees. We'd estimate it's closer to a 10 degree cant. Rumor has it that Don Hume himself wasn't a huge fan of holsters with an "aggressive" forward cant.
#3 - I was looking at the Open Top Model (H721-OT) and saw my weapon listed, but I don't see it available in this Thumb Break model?
Don Hume does offer the open top model to fit more handgun models than the thumb break model. With the TB model, they basically focus on the more popular handgun models.
#4 - I have a 1911 handgun. Does the thumb break work for Cocked & Locked (Hammer back) carry?
Yes. At this time, Don Hume makes all their thumb break models for 1911 handguns in a cocked & locked carry position only. They no longer make any of the thumb break models holsters for 1911 pistols in a hammer down carry position.
#5 - I really like this holster but don't see a model available for my handgun. Can Don Hume make one for my handgun?
Sorry, but Don Hume doesn't do any custom work. If the weapon you are trying to fit for isn't listed, then Don Hume isn't making for it.
#6 - Is this model made to fit any handguns fitted with after market lasers or tactical lights?
Sorry, but this model isn't produced to fit any handguns fitted with either of those accessories. We suggest that you try MTR Holsters for that option as they do offer a number of holsters that are made to be carried with certain laser or tactical lights attached to the handgun.

I absolutely love this holster! It was made to fit my handgun perfectly! And I don't even need to break it in! I can just use it! It's not too tight or too loose! And the snap works great!

Don Hume H721 Belt Holster
This is a very well made holster and fits a j frame with 3" barrel very well . Leather is thick and should hold up very well . The only negative and reason for only 4 stars - The protector for the back of the snap is a round piece of felt which already fell off . If it had a plastic backer like other holsters I own , it would rate 5 stars .

Outstanding product
After about a week of break in, this holster is perfect for the full size PX4 Storm. Draws well and can be holstered/snapped in without looking. It was shaped with the safety engaged, which is a great reminder to put it on.

The best
For some reason my first review didn't "take"........so here's the shorter version. This is an excellent holster for my Rock Island compact 1911. It is the only holster I found where thumb break rides AHEAD of the hammer, thus allowing condition one carry. The quality is excellent, exactly what you would expect from Don Hume. Although it will be used primarily for field carry, it will be useful for occasional concealed carry also. The person I spoke to at Gunner's Alley was polite, competent and informative. A great experience!

TOP QUALITY.........
I ordered this holster for my compact 1911 which has yet to be delivered, so I can't give any info regarding the fit. However, the quality is exactly what you would expect from Don Hume....the best. It is one of the few holsters out there with the thumb break positioned ahead of the hammer when cocked, thus the gun can be carried in stage 1...loaded chamber and manual safety on. It also has "just enough" forward angle and no more. Perfect all the way around. I have a similar holster for my S&W Chiefs Special and it is the safest, fastest way to carry a concealed handgun. The gentleman I spoke to at Gunner's Alley was polite, very well informed and helpful. I will go back for more items in the future and I suggest you consider doing the same thing. George
