Members SouthernHolsters Posted February 24, 2008 Members Report Posted February 24, 2008 Here is a holster packed and ready to be shipped out to an officer coming back from Iraq in a couple of weeks. He ordered so it wold be there when he got home. It's for a full size railed 1911. I had fun with this one as the outcome reminds me of a fossil. The black is dye, not paint, which made it stand out. Hope you enjoy it. Quote
Members Hilborne Posted February 24, 2008 Members Report Posted February 24, 2008 Wow! This is really nice. I'm sure the customer will like it. It's a shame to make it so nice and then stick in your pants. Andy Quote
Members kimberangel Posted February 24, 2008 Members Report Posted February 24, 2008 Excellent work! I love that background tool. It is my favorite. Nice application using the dye instead of paint! Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 That is a very nice piece. He will be proud to have that one. Quote
TomSwede Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Excellent stuff, I agree with fossil tendencies but that's just adding to cool here! I was just commenting Don's nice classic holsters so this was very nice contrast to that. Couldn't choose from either one if a had to pick a favourite. Nice job! Tom Quote

esantoro Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 That looks awesome. It would be cool to do something like that for a cell phone belt case. Quote

Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted February 25, 2008 Members Report Posted February 25, 2008 Wow. Nice work, Tom. How much longer does that take than your normal holsters? Quote
Members SouthernHolsters Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 25, 2008 Wow. Nice work, Tom. How much longer does that take than your normal holsters? Oh, about 2.5 hrs. If you looked at what I charged him, you would think it took a half hour. :D Quote
