Howdy Bill, I'm just up at the north of Stockton so we're almost neighbors. Anyway, I use Weaver for almost all of my hardware, tools and any other supplies I also get some leather from them. I'll stop by SLC or Tandy when i'm in the big city and have time to look around or if i just need a quick item. I do hand pick HO sides from SLC, their price is comparable to Weaver's and it's nice to be the one picking out the hide. I hope that helps out, if you find somewhere better let me know
