Ed in Tx Report post Posted July 28, 2018 Weaver Leather has a similar punch on their site but it sure isn't $350. In fact it is not even close!!! Try $2300... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may have exposed a top secret!! they may be after you.. LOL.. What is really ridiculous is they probably paid the manufacturer less than $500. Personally, I don't get the pricing schemes some companies use such as the "wholesale" "retail" pricing. I don't know what the requirements are at Weaver but places like Tandy seem to be looking solely as easy profit. I would much rather do business with a company that doesn't make you jump through hoops to get a decent price. I am small time compared to a lot of folks doing leather work but I still spend at least $2000 annually for leather and supplies. I'd say that's a bit more than someone that makes one or two small purchases. I'm sure they don't care if I buy from them or not but I'm not going to be forced to pay more unless I prove something.
