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.

What a deal, Quality, Price and Fit
Previously paid three times for a similar design which took many hours time to get a decent fit. The Don Hume JIT Belt slide required very little time on my belt to tweak the fit and cost much less.

Great holster for an even better price
Bought this for my S&W 327 PC Fits perfectly and does everything you need it to. Easy to conceal as it keeps the weapon close. Plus extremely fast shipping!

Inexpensive quality
I bought this product for my kimber micro 9. The fit and finish is excellent for the price as my Dad is a saddle maker. I thought maybe the leather would cover the slide completely but it doesn't. I'm very happy with my purchase. Matt

JIT Holster
I have two of these holsters. They are of the great quality I have come to expect from Don Hume products. The JIT holster is a minimalist holster that gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. It keeps the gun close to the body but is not a holster I would choose if handgun retention is an issue. Of course it is not designed as a retention holster. If you are looking for a belt holster that is light and rides comfortably that you can use for range or field or EDC under a coat or blowsy shirt, you would be hard pressed to beat the JIT.

Simplicity At It's Best
I've been a Don Hume fan for years now, but I really love the JIT, I have a few of them and just added another for my G30. Love ordering through Gunners Alley too. Always quick shipping.

Perfect
As usual, Don Hume JIT holster was perfect. It does not interfere with the laser grip at all on my Kimber .45. Gunner's Alley is very helpful and provides excellent customer service. Dan

Great for Kimber Micro 9
After too much buying to try holsters, the JIT is perfect. This simple yet stylish OWB holster holds my Micro 9 tight to the body providing minimal printing. The price point is a welcome relief from some of the other manufacturers' designs and applications. The JIT would also be a good partner fo a larger (say Commander size) pistol, but make sure your belt will accommodate the extra weight of a larger handgun.

Great fit...quick shipping!
I traded for a S&W Model 19 with a 2 1/2" barrel...and no one but Gunners Alley had a leather holster that fit! Good stuff...works as intended!
