My AB & TODDS std holster 23/3 now with distressed pic

Post by starks_6 »

Thought Id throw the pics up! I think it needs to be done if for no other reason than to thank the vendors, especially Marc as for being such a busy man, you've had all the time in the world for me and I cant thank you enough.
So, my run down....
The The TODDs standard I've lightly distressed and given a good soaking in conditioner and I think the colors came up very nicely. For anyone who cant necessarily aspire to an AB and are on a budget, for a $30 holster, this is great! Its well stitched, and is made from thick leather.

Now, the AB!
This holster is awesome! Im yet to distress her a little :wink: but in my opinion its worth every cent of what I paid for her! Again really well stitched, the leather (while thick) is a little thinner than the TODDs but is a much higher quality leather and the most important thing, I can fit a replica in it!

Firearms laws are odd here in Australia. theres only a few states that allow replica pistols. As for proper licensing, I have a Category A and B which allows rifles, shotuns, lever actions, your not allowed .50 cal or 12guage in a pump (as for a lever 8) ) but a pistol license is hard to get and then you have to do recorded range hours and attend so many competitions per year and even then your not allowed a .45cal unless you do western shooting or own thousands of acres in which you can justify the need for it...so, The closest thing I can find to an idyish style of revolver in a replica is a colt 45...and that fits straight in the AB!

Once again thank you to Todd and a big thankyou to Marc for those who can...buy an AB! or it really is nice to have both...when you go adventuring you need options!

Thank you for the comparison Josh!

I think both Todd and I can be very happy with your review and - as far as I understand Todd's business - both holster seems to fit the bill EXACTLY where they're intended to.

Regards,

Marc
