Default Challenger Coin slip holsters

Members,

Some asked about these, so I made a few. Started with the Army and Marine coins. The coins are 1.5 - 1.75 wide and heavy. Front and back filled, but I choose to mix it up a bit. Straight feedback will be very helpful, as I plan on going big on these.

Thank you,

Henry

First off, great job! I think these will be popular down the line

I will also give my constructive opinion that is just my opinion and my personal taste. I don't like colorized coins, I think the metal like bronze or silver is a much more classic look but I also acknowledge some may like the colorized coins. Just make sure the colorization is not just a layer of paint if these are carried daily they may wear the paint off. If it is a high relief coin the metal and design will still be strong for years and the wear will enhance the appearance.

Second I would like to see something a little plainer for the leather that covers the coin. I like my holsters to be minimalistic so if instead of the round bullseye piece of leather it could be one piece and wrap the whole side and smooth aside from the required stitching to hold the coin in place.

Like I said the above comments are just my personal preferences. I have never served so I wouldn't buy a holster with a coin from the armed services. Maybe a 1911 coin or a 2A coin, Smith & Wesson, Ruger.

Thank you for the likes and comments. The Coin choices from what I have found so far is well over 1800. Would love to make them all, but that will take years to accomplish.

From this feed back I will expand this line further.

I thank you all.

Henry
