Hi guys...really just making my public debut but have been making holsters for friends and family for a long time now.

I have a "core" group of holsters I tend to make but love the challenge of creating something new. If you are interested in a holster, let me know. I've been selling my holsters in the $65 range for now, trying to keep them affordable and to hopefully get my name out there.

Here's a few of my latest creations:

I can personally vouch for Ray at LoboGunLeather.He does great work and even took time out to meet me in Pueblo at a McDonalds last year as I was passing through with my finished product.

I was looking at your site and I think you made a typo on your prices. I saw nothing even close to 65 bucks. Your work looks great & the prices are not bad, but they are not what your advertising.

No, no typo. My site does have the correct prices, however, as I mentioned above, I am just starting to get my name out there online so I've discounted the holsters to forum members. I get $60 for my slide, $65 for the pancake, $75 for the IWB ConcealMax Pro and OWB Willy Snapper.

The original post is almost a month old and thankfully, I now have several orders in the pipe (about 2 - 3 week delivery time). I will eventually increase to my site's advertised price, but for now, my prices above are good to go.

If I can keep the prices lower I will but the process per holster takes a very long time, several hours, and from a business point I simply couldn't survive and would have to turn it back into a hobby. I have at a minimum of 5 hours of hands on work in each holster, closer to 7 or 8 for most styles plus dry times in between each step. The hourly wage is not in my favor but I do love making them and will hopefully get faster without sacrificing quality as I go along.

In that case, I will be ordering an IWB soon. I ove the look of your holsters.

Try Overland Gunleather. Quick turn-around and quality work and excellent at answering questions in emails.

Just wondering if anyone might be interested in my latest creation. I've got a Colt 1911 in Dark chestnut with Black trim and loops and a Glock 19 in dark brown. PM me if interested.

Asking $100 each including US shipping.

Thanks!

If I was to open a gunshop, would any of you holster makers like for me to be a featured dealer of your wares? I am in the process of developing my business plan and am wanting to carry an inventory of fine, custom leather holsters that go with my inventory of guns that I sell. Email in profile if interested.

There's a lot of nice leather in here! Does anyone work in nylon though? I want to have a Bianchi holster modified for a shorter barreled gun. Send me a PM or email please!

Someone already did it for you. Check the "Holster" section on the SEECAMP forum under the thread "I P S (In Plain Sight) Holster". Jim Powell, the maker, can do them in different finishes...

www.leatherandstuff.net

Jim made a cusom one for my P238. It is great. I have been wearing it for a couple of weeks now.

I have been looking for a new IWB holster for my P220 Compact. I've been drooling over all the magnificent leather works on this thread. That said, I could have sworn that just last night some of your fine craftsman had a IWB holster in stock that was just what I was looking for. Tonight when I get home for work, realize that I did not bookmark the page and now can't find it. Any help?

Thanks in advance
Bill
