One for me

[Lane]

As I mentioned in my other post, I've made a bucket load of COTEP holsters over the last two years, and the other day, I realized that I've never made one for me. I have a couple I use, but they are prototypes or rejects/seconds/flaws. I decided that my Wiley Clapp Commander needed a new home. So, I made some tweaks to the OWB holster with Snap loops. Directional snaps, and an air brush, two-tone dye. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out:

Without the gun:

and from the back:

I have no intention of being selfish with this one - if anyone else want's one, I can make more. The finish is a bit more labor intensive, so I'll probably charge a bit more than the normal COTEP holsters.

Thanks again to my COTEP family - without you, this would never have been possible.

Are the T nuts exposed on the snaps?

I really like the look of that holster.

Nope. In fact no T-nuts were harmed in the production of this holster. I rivet the snap to the top piece before I line it or glue it together. Took a couple of tries to get it in the right spot. This one carries the gun a bit higher than the original COTEP OWB. I can sit in the car without it digging into the seat (worn at about 3:30).

You have not stamped your name/trademark/makersmark on it yet?

Yeah, you noticed that. Now that it's got the finish on it, the stamp doesn't work. So, I guess that make this one a second as well.

Nuts.

This holster is sounding better and better. Been looking for a OWB looks like this is a contender.

Nice holster, have you figured what the cost of one would be yet and when will you be taking orders?

[Sheepdog]

Congratulations Lane. Good looking holster.

It's available to order now. I set the base price at $80, with $5 for adding the two tone dye and $10 for lining.

Which begs the question - based on what others are seeing, are my prices fair? Too high? Low?

Very Fair Lane...................

Nice holster...may just have to order one!

[Snipersnest]

A custom made holster for under $100, are you kidding? More than a fair price.

I was the victim (I mean recipient of his first snap holster design). He made significant improvements over the prototype and I received a second one of the improved version. It is a great holster!

His new and more improved model looks absolutely fantastic. You cannot go wrong with it and will be very happy with it.

Thanks again Lane
