Members RoosterShooter Posted October 6, 2012 Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) I'm just getting my feet wet with holster making , well, actually it's more like 'dipping my toe in' at this point! I've looked through Tandy Leather's offerings in the snap , fastener, and clip section, and they are very limited on what they offer. I'm looking for Professional Quality directional snaps, regular snaps, t-snaps, fasteners, and clips for making holsters. Also, I can offer a tax ID number for a business I operate if one is needed. For those of you not familiar with 'T Snaps', they are snaps where the interior of the post is threaded, and the stud has a small screw protruding through the bottom. You screw in the stud to the post, as opposed to, using a 'rivet style' setter to set the post and stud. Thanks for the help. Edited October 6, 2012 by RoosterShooter Quote
Members DoubleC Posted October 6, 2012 Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 Check out Springfield Leather Company, they have tons of quality stuff. Tandy doesn't have anything of professional quality anymore. Cheryl Quote
Members RoosterShooter Posted October 6, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 I have looked through Springfield's offerings, and they seem to be limited on selection as well. Anywhere else I might look? Quote
Members DoubleC Posted October 6, 2012 Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 they're search doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason, I would suggest you call their toll free number and tell them what you're looking for. I know from other people here their snaps are much better quality than Tandy. You may pull up two items using a perfectly rational search, but if you call you'll find that the number may increase to 102. I get all my supplies from there so I really can't speak to other companies....Sorry, Cheryl Quote
