Product Description
Over the last 10 years, the Don Hume JIT slide has been their top selling holster model. The JIT (which stands for Just In Time) Slide is designed to carry medium sized to small revolvers and autos in a highly concealed manner. This holster has an open bottom so it can fit handguns from the same family regardless of the barrel length. For example, the model for the Glock 19 also fits the Glock 26.
One of the reasons for its popularity is the belt slot design. Instead of having belt slots in the front and rear of the holster, the JIT Slide has a belt slot directly behind the holster and then a second trailing belt slot on the back of the holster. The combination of the center belt loop and trailing belt slot pulls the weapon close to the body, while still allowing for a full firing grip. The design makes for a stable carrying platform that takes up much less space on the belt as compared to similar pancake style designs.
The JIT is available in Black or Saddle Brown.
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 the JIT slide holster:
#1 - As this holster has an open bottom, how far will the gun stick out the bottom of the holster?
The answer to that question depends on the specific handgun that is being carried. Obviously, the longer the pistol dimensions, the more will stick out the bottom of the holster. As a basic reference, a Glock 26 will stick out the bottom of the holster about half an inch, while a larger Glock 19 model sticks out the bottom about an inch and a half. A Colt Government 1911 5" will stick out the bottom about 3 inches.
#2 - Does this model ride at any type of forward cant?
No, the JIT Slide rides at a 0 cant (straight up and down) on the waist.
#3 - Since the holster is small and doesn't have a thumb break, I'm worried that it won't retain the pistol well?
Even though the JIT doesn't have any external retention devices (thumb break, retention screw, etc.), the design does an excellent job of retaining the holster. The retention is centered on the friction created when the handgun is fully seated in the holster. To be honest, this model is one of Don Hume's top sellers in terms of popularity due to the design and price point.
#4 - Will this holster work with pistols that feature a Crimson Trace laser grip?
To be honest, it really depends on the handgun model. Most of the pistols with CT laser grips will fit in this holster, but occasionally there are a few models that won't. We'd really have to get more info on the handgun model and then we might be able to tell from experience.

My third JIT holster
I have 3 of the JIT belt slide holsters so I must like them! One for a 1911, a Glock 19 and my recent one for a S&W Sd9ve. The price is right, the fit is good, and they conceal easily. They are comfortable to wear and retain the weapon well. Gunner Alley is a class company, good prices and fast shipping. I'm a satisfied Custer.

Great OTB holster
Love this holster. Made with good quality leather and secure gun retention for my J-frame revolver. A very comfortable holster for concealed carry and the vertical positioning of the gun makes for easy draw. My # 1 carry now!

Tight and close fit
This is my second Don Hume JIT. I have one for a HK Compact 40 and Glock 34 MOS with Red Dot. Both fit tight and close to the body. You will need to break the leather in, but the holster is solid material and not bulky. This is a great concealed carry holster. I actually called Don Hume first regarding this purchase and they recommended GunnerAlley. I called them to confirm this would fit on the 34 MOS with Red Dot and they checked before I made the purchase. I will buy from GunnerAlley again. Great customer service and happy with my purchase.
