darkelf Report post Posted April 20, 2010 Greetings all, Im new to the forums and have been lurking about for a few days. I'm about ready to try my hand at an IWB holster for a Colt Commander. I have some of the basic tools needed and I was wondering if Springfield Leather sells smaller pieces of leather,rather than buying half a cow? I guess I could call them,just thought I would give this a shot first and say "Hi" in the process. Any advise would be appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MADMAX22 Report post Posted April 20, 2010 Try and get a single or double shoulder from them. I am pretty sure they sell them. That is what I would start off with if all your doing is holsters since you can use most if not all of the shoulders for holsters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgoldschmidt Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I went to Springfield Leather today for the first time. I noticed the ad banner on this forum and went to the website to order a catalog. That's when I noticed it was Springfield Missouri. I live about 60 miles away, so me and the wife took a road trip. All I can say is WOW! The people there were very helpful & polite. I joined the Gold Advantage (A $30 discount membership) and saved over $33 just this trip. I can't wait until the next trip. I was just in the need to upgrade my tool selection and didn't really get to check out the HUGE selection of leather. Definately give them a call though.

Hicks02 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 The people alone are worth meeting. I too live about 60 miles away. I go to springfield about once a month. Kevin has a great deal of know how about leather. And if you need something just ask, chances are they have it or can get it. Again the customer service is about the best in Sprinfield. Good luck, Jeremiah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
