I am indeed. But i would want something different. Mine are new vaqueros 4 5/8 barrels with a profile clone of the colt saa. 24 bullet loops (two reloads each gun) in a darker redish leather with some gunmetal grey texas ranger stars one on each holster. But thats all for private chats and probably a phone call when im ready

There are PLENTY more options to be had out there for anyone wanting to jump in! If you have something else you want a holster for, just ask. The more "smurf guns" I can add, the bigger the selection will be for you guys and all future customers. Here's a couple more that would be great additions:

Ruger LC9
Sig P229
Bersa Thunder

Bersa thunder is substantially larger than a walther ppk just fyi. Ive got both.

That sounds great. Totally doable. Just give me a shout and we will get it done to your specs. Those bullet loops are a BIATCH, but very cool when done right. Looking forward to it, sir!!

Missouri actually.

Hmmmm? Now that I really have no clue about. Have never used deer skin. I'm wondering how thick a tanned deer hide would be. Might even be cooler to have a "fur on" hide scabbard if it was deer ... Or even better a "fur on" cowhide!

I'd like to take a minute here and say thanks to the forum for stepping in and helping out a fellow member in mutually advantageous transactions.

HUGE PROPS to TWMIM, for yet another Interesting, and beneficial thread idea.

I did nothing, other than post an idea.

I walk down the street, and I hear a street musician playing with incredible talent. He has a hat with a few bucks in it.

Then a car rolls by, playing somebody with no talent on the radio. Then I ask myself, "Why do the talented go unrecognized, and the talentless make millions."

Then my logic gland hurts.

Then I consider the forum. Why are we here, if not to serve each other?
I've saved money thanks to reviews here, I've gotten helpful advice. I fixed a hole in my wall based on info gathered here, I've avoided crap guns.

Baller and I discussed my holster, he gave me a lowball price, and asked only that I give it a fair review. I agreed. The shipping cost alone must have eaten the profit he made, indeed, I would guess that he took a beating on our deal.

I saw the talent in his work, I wanted to contribute in some small way to his success. The world will be a little prettier if he can take off as a viable business.

In a world where every knife comes with a nylon crap sheath, and it's just as easy to buy that blister packed Uncle Mike, I opt for beauty. Because I'm interesting.....

[texaswoodworker]

Longballer, just out of curiosity, how many hours do you typically put into one of your holsters?

I wish you could have been here before the great forum split. This used to be a VERY generous community. On several occassions we raised funds in excess of $1,000 each time to help adopt troops or help a member in need.

It is starting to come back around again. There is a core here, that is here everyday, and they are starting to meld into something special again.

And there are a few of us working behind the scenes on some stuff to help that happen.

Now get back to work on my holster Dave!!!
