Nice holster too.

Hey KT

How you keeping?

Yeah the little one takes up most of my spare time now, don't have the hours I used to trawl through COW anymore

Thanks, for the compliment on the holster. It turned out rather nice.

Welcome to COW Steve. Lost-ark, if I remember correctly, is/was owned by a member here, Indiana Dudley. I ordered a strap from them some time back and was quite happy with it. Hi Al / Guys, http://www.lost-ark.net - Indeed it is still run by me. The site is still up and running and selling gear, I ...

Hey KT, Been meaning to post something similar for a while myself, this is a rather more expensive alternative for the UK market (air pistol).

It appears that after over 200 years of firearm manufacture that Webley are no more. Only heard this today myself but their website reflects it... Having grown up in the Birmingham area of England, with their world famous air pistols and rifles, this makes very sad reading indeed: http://www.webley....

I just wondered if anyone knew where to get cheap Holsters in the UK? I tried e-bay, but they do not have any Indy holsters!

Haven't been around here much in the last few months having been job hunting and getting married and all that.

indiana_dudley

Indiana_dudley, do you have any future plans to create a screen accurate LC Webley .455 holster? There are so many options out there, and yet I think that most of these are just market items that have no intention of matching the film colors and so on. If you do, I will buy one in a heart beat. No ...

Guys, As Templar mentioned over the weekend we have a prototype holster which attempts to achieve a darker colour. Here is a quick photo to show comparison between the three existing: The middle holster is made from the higher quality 3mm leather, the same as the holster on the right, just with some...

indiana_dudley

Indidana Dudley, I have both of those items also. I use the second one when I am on a long trip and put the hat in the back seat. The back of the brim sometimes hits the headrest when I wear it while driving. While on a short trip around here, that doesn't get to be too annoying, but on a long trip...

Guys, Thanks for all the feedback and interest.

I think it makes sense that any offering would be functional and capable of carrying a gun - real or otherwise. thats my opinion anyhow. By the way, what gun is that in the picture?

indiana_dudley

I'd have to first ask how thick the leather is? The Raiders holster was thin. Just look at when he's on the front of the truck, you can see the flap blowing. The Deluxe holster is made from 3mm thick leather, and the Budget from 2.5mm. Although it can 'fluff' out to look thicker. The holsters are n...

We had another idea on the http://www.lost-ark.net site, the 'All-Weather Bag Strap".

I haven't really seen a strap offered with this purpose in mind, so this is a little experiment.

Their present offering may not need a huge ammount of work to fix-up the top of the grip?
