Steve, I in no way am criticizing your choice of holsters. It's just that I think CMR could do a lot better job with just a little attention to detail. They are making the piece anyway, why not do it a little better?

Yes I do make holsters from scratch. Not very many. Mostly one's that are not available on the repro market such as baby Luger holsters. There is no way to compete with the massed produced repro holsters. They are too cheap and the quality is not something I could tolerate.Odd thing about it is, most start out with good leather. Then they proceed down hill from there.

I mostly concentrate on repair or restoration of collector holsters. I use the same techniques and materials as the Germans did at the turn of the century. As far as I know I am the only professional Luger holster restorer in the World. If there is another, he has yet to show himself anywhere I can find.The market is so small that if I were doing this for the money I would stop and get a real job. I see many holsters that I could not see otherwise. Quite a few people assume I am a holster expert and I am not. I am expert at repairing them but have little time to actually study their historical intracacies. Thanks for asking, Jerry Burney
