It's all relative. If you can afford $4000 for a pistol what's another 250 for a rig? Ever see the prices of Del Fatti holsters?

I spent about 125 for my Wilson Lo Profile in Sharkskin, and have never regretted it. Most comfortable and concealable OWB holster I've ever owned. And yup, I carry a Wilson pistol in it

While I haven't yet, I might spend that much on a holster but not THAT holster. Too plain-jane for my $250.

I'm sure the name has something to do with the price.

Interesting they call it "Rafter L". Google "Rafter S" and get some coffee to read up on that goat rodeo. Stella (Rafter S) made holsters for Wilson for awhile, then started ripping people off. She got killed in a truck crash in Texas. Wonder if her old partner revived the company...I heard he was trying to clean up the mess she left

No it's a different entity, run by Erik Little. I remember reading how they weren't related in any way, and had to look it up to jog my memory. It turns out the name Rafter L is a family cattle brand that's been in his family since the 1800s. He chose the website domain combatgunleather.com specifically to avoid confusion between the two. I used to get the two confused. I looked into it deeper after meeting Mr. Little at a leather trade show a few years ago. This was right around the time the trouble with Rafter S was starting to rear it's head. I knew they were two different companies, but didn't know if I had met the "troublesome" Rafter or not. Turns out I had not.

I've paid over 2 bills for a custom leather holster several times, but that holster isn't worth their asking price, to me.
