Holster Update
 

I can't believe how much I've been slacking... too many people are way too patient with me. Anyway, I've had a bit of dungeon time lately, so here's a bit of an update:

#1235 [IWB, Commander, Black] - Last coat of finish applied this morning. Depending on drying time, it'll be assembled and packaged. Shipping tomorrow or Wednesday

#1236 [OWB, Commander, Mahogany] - Dyed, oiled, edge finished this morning. Next it'll start getting coats of finish. Depending upon drying times, it should ship by the weekend.

#1237 [PF9 - KTOG]

#1239 [IWB, Commander, Mahogany] - Dyed, oiled, edges finished this morning. Next it'll start getting coats of finish. Depending upon drying times, it should ship by the weekend.

I'm also still working on the prototype for Clyde's black ops. It's glued and stitched, and will probably start getting some dye and finish. Still not sure if this one's going the way I want it to.

I'm also working on the new OWB with Snap Loops design. I've been wearing the prototype for a couple of weeks and like what we've come up with. I'll post some pictures - but it rides nice and high, and tight to the waist. I think this design will be a permanent offering. The final holster that'll ship to the customer has been cut out, and glued and is ready for stitching.

Another in the works is an IWB/SOB. I've got the design figured out and will start cutting leather with the next batch.

As always, if you have questions or concerns, please let me know either here of via PM. I'm sorry this has taken so long - if anyone would prefer, I can refund their money while I'm working on the holster, and you can pay when I ship. Up to you.

Thanks,

Lane

Holsters are worth the wait. We understand this isn't your full time job, Thanks Lane. :)

Any thing further on your belts?

Hey Lane any word or pics of the Holster for Black Ops.?


Clyde

So, the above mentioned orders (1235, 1236, 1237, 1239) are boxed up and will go out with tomorrows USPS mail. I got a bunch more cut out yesterday, and will post an update in a bit.

I don't wanna post pics because I'm not happy with where it's going. I'm going to go ahead an wet form it, then send it to you to see if I'm going the right direction. Then we'll try again. I do need to add that I'm pretty happy with the new OWB w/ Snaps - I've been wearing the prototype for a couple of weeks. I think it's a keeper and will be added to the normal product line.

Lane

Don't tell me Lane is going to knock out that holster before he makes the one I have been waiting over 2 years on!!:facepalm::banhim:

;)

Neener Neener what gun did you order your holster for????????




Clyde

Wilson CQB

OK - technically, neither of you have "ordered" anything... :D

Larry, I was thinking about the CQB holster today. I've finally got to a point where I'm caught up and ready to start looking at other things, like belts, new holsters, etc. I'll start working on it (you may need to remind me what you wanted...)

Lane

Lined OWB, FBI cant, dark brown!:D

OK - Dark Brown it is!! :D

Still need a belt Lane!!!:D:D

I cannot wear my holster with out it.:)

We are going to have to rescind Clyde's powers if he keeps doing things like that! Brown, dark brown. Of course, he will change this, too.

#1239 [IWB, Commander, Mahogany]
 

Lane,

My holster arrived today. You do excellent work, sir. :) (Let me know when you have magazine holders and belts to match.) :)

Now that I have a beautiful holster and grips; all I need is to get my new Commander back from the COLT Custom Shop.

Best wishes,

I would definitely take a good belt from you..

I'm interested in seeing the OWB with the snaps. I am liking that idea. Any pics.

Now that I'm on top of the holsters, I'll be putting together some belt options and letting the group know. Stay tuned.

Here's some pics of the one I'm wearing now - these were taken right after I did the wet forming, so the finish isn't very pretty, but you get the idea on the style and design:

Very nice work Lane!!!!

I like the OWB Snap Holster Lane........


Clyde


PS Now if you would post a couple pics of the Holster for Black Ops...... Please.............:D:D:D:D:D:D

Belts are now front and center... stay tuned!

Lane

Will do!!!:D:D

Lane, give any more thought to that 'Askins' Avenger' holster we talked in the chat about. Maybe in L-H if you could shoot me a PM with price?
Dave

Now's the time to do it... I'm almost 100% caught up. I'm working on one for Clyde, one for NeenerNeener and one for Feathermerchant. Let's add your's to the list, eh?

Lane

Go ahead Lane, What am I thinking! Russet or brown, L-H, Bianchi cut belt loop,front-sight tunnel.

Received mine today fit really well looks beautiful can't wait to try it out.

I hope you like it - please remember I offer a 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee. If you decide it's not for you, let me know and I'll make it right. Fortunately, I've only had to refund a couple. :D

Lane

Dave,

I'm trying to find some good pictures to work from. Seems like you had some when we first talked about this?

Lane

So Lane are you going to make Belts like the ones in Dave's pics??????????


Clyde

I feel the enlightenment
 

Lane's package arrived this week. The enlightenment it growing.

Vern

I wish Ole LeatherBack Lane would at least show me pics of mine, cut out.:):)



Lets see I got Him Put In the Dungeon for months on End, and got him Free Bread and Water, did his homework for him. And now he wants me to even mow his lawn is there something wrong with this picture?????????


Clyde

Right now, the belts look suspiciously like a length of duct tape... remember, patience is a virtue.

Lane

The mahogany looks pretty good with your VBOB - I hope you like it. It'll fit tight for the first couple of weeks, but after some break in time, should work fairly well. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions or problems. 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee.

Lane

To Funny!:D:D:D

Man look at the way the leather hugs that beautiful pistol! Oh man, is it wonderful fit or what? :eek:


Nice work Lane!
