Rayban Report post Posted May 12, 2011 I'm very disappointed with a source I thought I had found for these things (along with belt clips)...I guess they don't care for my small orders, but I'd rather they just tell me so instead of ignoring my phone calls and emails. Anyway, I'm thinking of asking a small water-jet cutting company to give me a quote on cutting out some thumb break stiffeners. I know in the initial run I'll get more of these than I'll ever use, so I would like to be able to pass these along to those who need them at cost plus mailing... What I'd like to know is the most common size used out there......I'm thinking 1/2" x 1-1/4", full radius at each end, with two holes, one at 3/16", and one at 1'4", .025 thick, in stainless. I'm not banking on selling any of these, but as long as I'll have a bunch, I may as well have the good sized ones available. What say ya'llz?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rayban; I use damned few of these, (one in the last five years?) but the last ones I got were from High Desert Leather (highdesertleather.com) in Utah. He sold them in small quantities at a reasonable price. you might want to contact him, but as I recall they were pretty close to your dimensions. He also sells a few other items difficult to obtain, look under his heading 'do it yourself' A pic of that last holster.

Rayban Report post Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks, I figured 1-1/4" would be a good general purpose size.....works good for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
