Some updates...
 
...but first, I have to show one pic from vacation. Even with all the rain, we had a great time. Here's one of me, my little grand daughter (center of my universe) and my wife:


First - I've got a holster/belt combo ready to ship off to Dave Waits. I'm hoping he'll give me some honest critique so that I can make it better:


Order number 1252 is ready for final assembly and shipping - will ship in a day or two. This one had a horrible finish, and will be replaced, but I'm shipping it so that he can have a holster in the mean time.

Order number 1255 (full sized IWB) was oiled tonight and I put together the belt loops/tabs:


Order number 1256 (commander sized OWB) was wet molded tonight. Here's one in the vacuum mold:


And fresh out of the mold, about 30 minutes later:


Order number 1257 (full sized OWB) was wet molded tonight. Again, in the vacuum mold:


and a bit later:


I've also been working on a new design for a hybrid - something that'll work as both an IWB and OWB. I've got a couple of ideas, I just need to get some leather cut.

I'll also be starting on Fadda's and GoldenVolt's holsters in the next day or two.

As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please let me know - either here or PM.

Hooray, I'm 1256. I love seeing how it's done, but it appears you are using a real pistol in the vacuum press...is that true? I'd think that wouldn't be at all good for the gun, wrapping it in wet leather.

Great looking work and family.

Yep. My poor CBOB has molded many holsters. I uaually give em a good wipe down with a rem oil wipe before and after. So far they aren't showing any side effects. Besides, there's no better model than the real thing, right? :-)

Great pic Lane, she's a little cutie! They do have a way of wrapping Grandpa around those little fingers don't they?.
Holster looks great Lane, again, many thanks!

+ 10 to what Dave said. Grandbabies make life worthwhile. And, the hoster belt combination are the "bomb."

Lane 03-21-2012 12:05 PM

Dave - it went out in this mornings mail.

Good deal Lane!!!:)

Hey Dave, what size belt you wear???:D:D

Dave Waits 03-21-2012 01:12 PM

Well AutoMag, the ones I buy at the store are all marked, 'Smaller than AutoMag's waist!'

I am order 1257, looks good! Looks brown in the picture but says black, it is supposed to be Black. You're the Man Lane! :wave:
I can't wait to wear it with my Full Size Black Valor in it!
Great pic of the Family Lane! :)

Sunderbrew 03-21-2012 08:13 PM

Dave, if you don't like the belt/holster combo, just remember your old buddy pig is correct-handed too :D

Sheepdog 03-21-2012 10:08 PM

BELTS! Did someone say belts.:eek::eek::eek:

Yes. Stay tuned for ordering info. As soon as I get some get some input from Dave, I'll make 'em available on my web site. I've decided to put that little RIA Office on lay away, so I need some cash!!

Yep - it's black. That's what you get from a cell phone pic, I guess...

If it were mine, I think I'd opt to use a blue training gun. :)

No thanks needed for my support, or patience Lane. You're my Friend.
Nuff said there. Cant wait to get the holster & fondle it, show it off, break it in and use it! Proudly too! :)

GoldenVolt 04-21-2012 12:31 PM

Lane, Thanks for the update.

Rest and Relaxation, That's what I need.:D Glad you could get some.:)

Keep up the good work.

Greg
