Did someone say Black Ops?
 

OK Chief - here's your holster. As we go through the steps, help me know what you want. I'd prefer you post here, so everyone can follow our arguments. For starters, Clyde told me that he liked the looks of the Tucker Gunleather HF2 Belt Holster. I hate copying other designs, but after playing with a prototype (that wound up in the garbage) I like how it works out.

Anyway, this is our model:


Clyde has asked that it completely cover the slide, so we'll modify this a bit. I've got a pattern made that I think will work, so I cut out the leather. Since this one will be lined, I use 6/7oz Hermann Oak Leather. I've found that Hermann Oak is the best quality for the price:


Here's everything with the cement applied and ready for glue up:


We'll let this set and tomorrow start with some stitching.

Black ops in a pink holster, sounds nice. I can remember when pink and black was cool.:)
'member the pink and black '55 Ford?

Jim

It will look great Lane!!!:):)

I have one question for Clyde. Why do you need a holster, your wife does not let you carry a gun, just you little Red Ryder pocket knife!:D:D

Just teasing Clyde, it is going to look fantastic when you get it Clyde!!!:):)

Hello Lane,
I like the one on the Right The Best, which looks Great. And would Really make Black Ops. look Really Sweet. Thank You............... I want to know which one you like the Most????????
So what else do you have in mind for it???????????:):):):)


Clyde

BTW John doesn't need a belt, he needs a set of Bright Yellow Suspenders too hold up his pants.............

I'm not sure I really have a preference. I like this style - I hope I don't get sued for copying him.

Do you like the white stitching on the mahogany dye? I can do that - I usually use black. Also, I'm playing around with a two tone dye job that I think will look good with mahogany. I've also got that Navy leather stamp that I want to incorporate into the design somewhere. We'll see what happens.


The suspenders are in the mail...

Lane

BTW Do you know how many people have asked me when you are start to make the Belts? More then you think.

I'm pretty much all caught up on holsters - I've got a belt made up that just needs to be finished so that I can post pictures and get some input from the group. I would think that we should be able to start taking orders by this weekend.

I'm not sure how much to charge - I want to be fair to everyone, considering that many got burned once before. Also, this time I'll give an option to pay when I ship instead of prepay - that way I'm not holding people's money for so long. I feel bad about how the holster piece went.

Lane

Lane,
From all the Good posts about your Holsters, I wouldn't worry to much. You can't expect to make everyone Happy..

I am looking forward to seeing the Belt and the way you designed it.

Clyde

Lane, you my friend have nothing to worry about in regards to the belt!!

You have come through faithfully on the holsters for being a one man show!!!:):)

I do not think that anyone will hold over your head what happened with the other so called leather worker!!!

By the way, the holster for Clyde looks fantastic s do all of your goods Lane!!!!:):)

Before I forget Lane you should know by now all of us Trust You, and because some Punk who is a Low Life Scammer. We don't consider you one or will we ever.......
