Do they come a standard size what is it? On the order page I saw no option of belt loop size.

I dunno; Kevin's awfully busy, but he's pretty good about responding to email; give him a day or so, then ask him again.
That said, for OWB carry, I'm pretty much sold on the Blackhawk SERPA, for those few guns for which it's available. The SERPA is about as easy to use as a thumbbreak, and it's more secure against a snatch/grab . . . which is something to at least think about, even if/when you're carrying discreetly.
And that said, Kevin's work both is and looks very, very nice.

preciate the input and will atleast look into the serpa.
I presently carry a 1911 in a Alessi CQC and like the snaps for doffing and donning hence my reason for looking at the Laredo. I am looking at trying the XD for carry owb but concealed.

The SERPA comes with both a belt attachment and a paddle. Not as easy to remove as the snaps, but definitely doable. Reasonable, I think, for IWB discreet category, as long as you have a good covering garment.

I believe they come standard with 1 3/4" loops, if you want smaller Kevin will make it that way. I have both a Cochise Defender (IWB) and an Eagle Defender (OWB). LIKE them very much, great fit (CZ PCR), great workmanship, great value. Now to decide on which to get for my P3AT Kel Tec..
Be safe.

I don't have a Laredo Defender, so joelr will have to supply that one. I will try to get some pics of the Cochise and Eagle in the next couple of days. New camera and trying to get it together for Vegas next week, but I will try.. (don't expect frameable pics though)
Be safe.
