Hi, my name is Richard. Back in '99 I retired and started making holsters in my leisure time. Made some for friends, and sold some on eBay. Pretty soon it was supporting my re-loading and bubble gum habits. About that time the State of Texas wanted to have fun too so they hooked me up to collect sales tax from Texas residents.
Anyhow, I'm just a small holster maker and don't care to get too big cuz if I get too busy it just wouldn't be a hobby anymore.
I have 2 speeds:
"SLOW" and "PROCRASTINATE"
This is a home based hobby/business with a home made web site, and home made computers. So, I don't have to price all that stuff into my holsters. I do my best to keep the prices of my products far below the competition and well within the workin' mans budget.
Some of my photos may look a little crappy because I'm not much of a photographer. My photos are not enhanced or touched up in any way.
So:
When you're looking at one of my crappy photos, you can be assured it's a "real" crappy photo. :-)
I don't do any "custom" work. I punch out all of my patterns with a press & cutter die. This makes everything pretty much "carved in stone" so to speak. As a result, I can't make changes to the holster such as installing thumb straps or flubber flaps.
Occasionally, I stop making holsters. This normally happens just prior to and during big family get-togethers, and when we have hurricanes cruising through the Gulf. And sometimes, I just want to take a little break, (gettin' old).
I stop making and shipping holsters about 2 weeks before Christmas.
Changes: 07.01.09
The cost of my supplies has gone up considerably, so I've had to raise my prices from 39.99 to 44.99 for holsters. When I get the mag carriers rolling again, there guna go up to 29.99.
Shipping will stay the same:
$4.99 for up to 2 items. (USPS Priority Mail)
I have to start getting paid up-front as our wonderful economy seems to have taken it's toll on many of the people that were on my waiting list. I found myself stuck with several of the hard to sell holsters. I hope my regular customers won't be offended by having to pay in advance but I see no other way to do it without running two separate data files that I'm sure to screw up eventually.
