I received my new Maverick Defender from K&D a few ago...
Yes, the 16+ week lead time seems very long, but when comparing Kevin's product to other top name leather holster makers out there, it's certainly worth the wait!
Not much else to say about the Maverick Defender than I've already written or in the review posted in this section.
It's an excellent design than can be worn either IWB or OWB (between pants & belt), and the cant agnle is adjustable via a hex bolt mounted steel spacer with a set of indicator pins to set it to the desired position.
Even though it's more of a compact minimal design ala the SSII, the single belt tab works much better than the SSII's twin loops in regards to keeping the holster stable on the belt....my main gripe about the SSII.
I can wear either the P228 or the G23 OWB under an untucked T-shirt @ 2:00 and it simply disappears.
If I had my druthers, it would be offered with a thumb break option, but sadly K&D doesn't offer that on this model.
Kevin, kept me notified about the production and was always available to answer any questions I had.
When he contacted me to let me know they were starting on my order, it was probably only 2 more weeks until I received it, including holidays.
Anyway, I highly recommend this design!
Pics when I can.
Until that time, here is a web pic or two:
