Excellent holster repair!
 

I wanted to take the opportunity to send out a thank you to Jerry Burney (AKA: lugerholsterrepair), Jerry is the best of the best and is a truly amazing craftsman.

After reading the forum a bit, I came upon one of Jerryâ??s posts, noticed his nickname and contacted him asking for his assessment in the repairing the stitching on the lid of my holster.

The holster that had accompanied my new pistol was in disarray and in need of restoration. It didnâ??t match the pistol however I wanted to keep it preserved, for to me it is a part of the pistols history.

The stitching on the top flap cover was 90% gone, there were traces of some very old rubber adhesive (I guess where the former owner tried to keep the flap on with it). Moreover the tool pouch was also missing and I simply chalked that up and figured that component of the holster was a right off.

Within no time Jerry had replied back to my email, was extremely helpful and professional and provided an excellent estimate. Through our short exchange on email, I truly felt a comfort level with Jerry and his capabilities, I knew he was the right person for this task. Needless to say the holster was on its way to him.

I emailed Jerry told him the holster was in route... and for whatever reason during the conversation I brought up the fact of the missing tool pouch. With no hesitation Jerry offered to tool one up that would match (I was truly beside myself for I wrote that off and never thought to ask)

Not long thereafterâ?¦ my holster was arrived back at my house. The work was impeccableâ?¦ If I didnâ??t already know the area where Jerry had rendered his repair I wouldâ?? have been able to distinguish his work from the original stitching. Furthermore to my delight, installed in the lid was well craft color matching tool pouch as well.

So with all that said and FWIW I would like to say thank you to a true craftsmen for doing an excellent job in keeping history alive.

Here's a link to some pictures... if I did them correctly they should be down at the bottom of the link

I have had Jerry do 3 holsters for me and will always recommend him to others. Like Tacdriver said

"If I didnâ??t already know the area where Jerry had rendered his repair I wouldâ?? have been able to distinguish his work from the original stitching"

It is so true.
