    Walt,
    Kramer is about the top of the line....I bought a Bianchi 19L thumbsnap for my High Power and it ran $80+.....good leather cost money. The Kramer belts are thicker and last longer than some of the economy brands.

    Almost every Gun Store has some type of bargin bid filled with trade-in or recycled merchandise. If you take the time and dig through you can really find some great bargins.

    Just the other day I stopped by a local Gun Shop to pick up some ammo and cleaning supplies. Since I was mot in a hurry I went through the bargin bid, found two used gun rugs, the good suede type, in like new condition and a nice Bianchi holster. Think I paid like an additional $25.00 for all. When it comes to holsters I'd rather buy used if they are in good condition.

    Walt, I'm 100% with airborne on this one; I would bet the last time I bought a new holster was at least 20 years ago. Stores allow little or nothing for the holster on trade-ins, then take whatever profit they can. I've picked up some real quality items for $5 -$10. Who the heck cares if they have a few scratches?

    what wrong with helping some poor leatherworker by giving them a sale
    I am not talking about some shop that makes 100s a week
    but some little guy that will make up a pattern for your gun and then go and cut leather by hand and sew by hand
    you end up with exataly what you wanted and they get a little work
    cost ends up about the same and you get a better product
    fitted to your gun.....and if there is a problem most of them will fix it same day.

    I quit leather when it ate the bluing off my pistol. The acid in the leather is a killer.

    I'll have to agree with daddo on the leather. Have to looked at Bianchi Accumold?

    www.10-32supply.com Bobby is the best leather maker I've found, and you won't believe how cheap. He's made several things for me. Just give him a buzz, and tell him Lee Blackman sent ya. He'll hook you up.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Try this web sight,
    http://www.shado.com/merchant/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RHA&Category_Code=H They are located out of florida if memory serves me correctly and they are the least expensive I have found. As you can see from the pictures on the web sight they have a very nice selection at reasonable prices.
