cool thanks

hahahahaha thanks Rayban. hey by the way i checked out your web page and must say you have pretty good looking stuff on there. was wondering particularly about the black handled 1911 on the home page. the original badge for the police department i work for is identical to the star badge inset in the grips. anyways i have been wanting to have my miniature badge inset into my grips but couldn't find anyone to do it. can i ask who did those grips? Tony

i actually traded the holster for some custom shirts with my leather logo on them from a friend who has a shirt business. equalled to about $100.00. would probably ask for about $120 to $140 next time for the paddle system. not sure if its not enough or not having been the first one i've done.i normally charge $80.00 for paddle systems, $60.00 for pancake and avengers, and $40.00 for IWB without any kind of exotic. Tony

no problem. i have the same blue gun and know they are the same. one thing i have leared to do is look up holsters for the guns online and see which one use the same models. Tony

yes they are the same demensions. Tony

try sew what supplies. they are reasonable and fast on the shipping Tony

thanks guys, Bobby i used 346 on the top and 277 on the bottom. and Bronson...hahahaha my sentiments exactly. i hate the glock but i do get alot of orders for them. they make pretty ugly formed holsters too. nothing to mold to... Tony

thanks Rick, i'll put it this way. i'll charge alot more next time Tony

here are some pics of the holster with paddle. Bobby it was hard to cut, i used both shears and a razor knife. it sewed easily with my cobra machine though, not really sure if i like working with exotics. Tony

thank you to all for the input. i ended up putting a light coat of bag kote, over the whold holster, then on just the leather areas heating in a few coats of neutral kiwi. i'll post pics when i get done with the whole thing. Tony

had a customer who wanted a paddle holster inlayed with sting ray. got the holster portion done but am curious about what kind of finish is ok for the sting ray itself. it looks to me that the sting ray may not need any finish but if so i'd appreciate any advice. this is my first work with any kind of exotics. thanks Tony

very nice! i had a customer who had inquired about a "spiderman" themed holster and i had that very same idea on how to do that overlayed piece. never got around to trying it though but i can see that it works. good job. Tony

i use the 1 1/2 inch belt slot punch. i punch my slots right after taking it out of the water and before molding. Tony
