Does anybody use the KISA armguard that 3Rivers sells? I'm thinking of getting one. Any opinions would be welcome. Thanks.
I have been looking at that one also!
Many are pleased with their Kisa.
My experience has not been so enlightening as the armguard comes loose after a handfull of shots. The actual developer of the Kisa proposed utilizing mink oil inside the stalls and the leather draw tie. Searched often- on and off for nearly a year until I was succesful in locating some mink oil. The results were still the same.
Do believe if the leather washer was replaced wih a more secure keeper, then the arm guard would work for me.
As previously noted: there are many who have been quite satisfied.

I have one that's fairly new so I havent had a problem yet but I could see how that could happen. Took just a bit to get used to and somewhat broken in. It's pretty easy to deal with and with just a few tugs on the strings it's secure. I do wear it slightly loose.
I have an older one. My only con is the extra strings when it is pulled tight. I have more than my share of hair on my arms and the strings pull it when I want to tuck those strings in. So I only use it when I wear long sleeves .
The arm guard is made to out last the owner. That is a plus because I like well made accessories . I have had no issues with the leather gasket . Maybe a new one can be bought from the new maker?
Thank you all for your input.
