Looking For Partner In Holster/gun Leather Business

[Logans Leather]

Greetings all. I recently bought out the remains of the "Safety Speed" holster factory. I am adding their machines and tools to my own shop, but find myself in need of more space. I am looking for a partner to share shop space with in the Inland Empire area of southern California. We can share shop space and build up a business together and continue our own lines of products as well, if you want.

We would, of course, have to meet first and see each others' work and see if we can form a mutually beneficial arrangement.

PM me if you are interested

I thought I would update this and give folks a bit more info. I recently purchased the Safety Speed Holster factory, which included literally tons of machines, tools, equipment, patterns, hardware & fasteners, and parts already cut waiting to be finished into hundreds of holsters, belts, and other assorted belt gear, including parts for hundreds of their signature clamshell holsters and the tools and machining to make more. I am seeking someone with the skills and drive to combine with my own to restart this business as one line of products while continuing and expanding our own lines.

I bring over 20 years of leatherworking and design experience to the table, including holster work for private collectors, museums, law enforcement, private investigators, film and television. I have numerous contacts in law enforcement, cowboy action shooting and the film industry. I have produced items for Pirates of the Carribean, The Haunted Mansion, Firefly, Witchblade, Hook, Star Trek, Master and Commander, The Patriot, Planet of the Apes, The Chronicles of Riddick, Drawn to Kill, CSI, IBM, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Limp Biskit, Tamia, Aerosmith, Julie Strain, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, IBM, Well, Fargo, The Frasier Historical Arms Museum, The Royal Armouries, and more.

I have a very well equipped workshop including multiple sewing machines skivers, splitters, line finishers, hydraulic forming presses, 20 ton clicker, punch presses, cutting dies, forming molds & dies, compressors, projectors, grinders, buffers, burnishers, hammers, mauls, stamps, knives, hand tools and more.

The recent acquisition has left me with too much shop to handle alone and far too many product ideas to produce alone. So I am looking for someone to join forces with in southern California. I would prefer to set up near my current home in Wildomar, CA, but my wife and I are willing to consider moving for the good of the business. We'd just rather not have to move over 14 tons of shop!

This is a brief breakdown of what I have to offer a partnership. If you are interested in discussing a merger, PM me with a list of what you have to offer, and perhaps we can set up a time to meet and discuss the possibilities.

Wow, Good Luck finding the right person. Sounds like you have a plan. Keep us informed of how things are moving ahead for you! The best of luck!

Sounds like you've worked on some fun projects! You know, North Texas is a great area to live... just sayin'.

Interested, but not ready to quit my day job! I'd love to see this shop though. Sounds amazing!

Good luck in your endeavor. If I still lived in So Cal, I might be interested, but I have no desire to move back to CA.

Oh yes, found a great facility down here, 22x40 main shop floor with 20' ceiling, 22x20 clean room with bathroom and shower downstairs

, and 22x 22 upstairs offices and bathroom. upstairs has a window overlooking the main shop floor. (Might install a firepole for quick access to the workshop!)

Shop has 300 amp electrical service, and due to a glitch, is billed at a residential rate instead of commercial rate. It also has a large paved area out front under a roof where the shop could be expanded in the future if need be. construction wouldn't cost too much, as the roof and floor are already in place. The equipment is currently stored there, waiting to set up shop until I find a partner to share it with or find a partner elsewhere that I need to move closer to

Well, if you listen to Dave Ramsey you'd hear that the only ship that doesn't float is a partnership. What about you owning the company, and having someone in as an employee, or as a contractor? Less legal hassles if, and when things go South-as many partnerships do.

I'd say look at Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada. We don't have any state income tax, as well as many business taxes are also not applicable. Buildings are a bargain now. I put almost 40 years in N.Cal (bay area), and have NO desire to go back to that train wreck of a state.
