Frequently Asked Questions

We try to anticipate questions you might have about our PRODUCT / SERVICE and provide the answers here. If you need additional information send email to YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
1.

When will my order ship?

I know no one like to wait but, All items are made to order and estimated lead time is about 10-12 weeks.  Large orders, special request, exotic skins, tooled items may take up to 2-4 weeks longer.  Keep in mind you are buying a one of a kind 100% handmade product and quality is my only goal not quanitity so this lead time is only an estimate of expected delivery. I am only a one man shop so please have patience.  Please do not email me and ask when your order is going to ship if it has not been 10-12 weeks from the date you ordered.

Pocket Holsters and Pocket Wallets


These holsters can only be made to fit the gun and do not magically shrink the gun.  Most of them will require a large pocket such as Cargo pants, coat pockets and vest pockets.  Pants or jeans need to be loose fitting or relaxed fit.  The wallet panel does not hide the gun, it breaks up the imprint of the gun in your pocket. 

So, If you wear tight fitting pants please don't buy a Pocket holster or PWC and expect to conceal the weapon properly. Please use common sense


4.

IWB,Tuckable and Dual Carry Holsters

All IWB type holster are designed to carry inside the waist will require loose fitting pants that will allow you to conceal the weapon in the pants. These holsters do not magicgly shrink the gun in any way.  Plan to loosen up your belt a notch to make room for the weapon and the holster. Before you buy your first IWB type holster try your gun in the pants and place it in several different positions to see what works best for you. If you wear tight pants than a IWB type holster is not for you. Again use common sense.

Leather Color

My standard color on all my products is Saddle Brown. This is a natural color of the leather with a oil finish and contains no dye or pigment.

Black Leather is dyed with the highest quality dye money can buy. However it contains a black pigment that can rub off on light colored clothing. Eventhough I use a perminate finish it can still rub off if the holster gets wet from sweat,rain etc. So use caution when wearing with light colored clothing.

Dark Brown Leather is dyed with the highest quality dye money can buy. However it contains a dark brown pigment that can rub off on light colored clothing. Eventhough I use a perminate finish it can still rub off if the holster gets wet from sweat,rain etc. So use caution when wearing with light colored clothing.


6.

Holster Lining

Holster Lining is a smooth leather that is added to the inside of the holster and will be oiled or dyed the same color as the holster. Lining is a veg tanned leather that helps protect the finish on your gun and makes for a smoother draw. I do not use suede or any other type lining. Suede is tanned with salts that will rust your gun.


7.

Emails

I try to answer all my emails in a timely maner but, I can only anwser so many emails a day and make holsters too. I get about 200-300 emails a day so if you do not get a speedy response that is why. So Please be patient I will get to your questions.


8.

Dual Carry Holster

The Dual Carry holster  has a forward cant and is made to be worn at the 4:00-5:00 position behind the hip.  It can not be worn in the crossdraw position or small of the back.


9.

Leather break in period and care

All holsters are molded and boned for a perfect fit.  It is just like a new pair of boots, they do require a break in period.  I recommend wearing the holster as much as you can with the gun in the holster and leaving the gun in the holster when not in use.  This will help the break in process.  If you get any scratches or scuffs, I recommend using Tan-Kote which is available on my online store or any leather good store such as Tandy Leather.
