Bought this from 5Shot at the 1911 forum. He makes some nice holsters. No website but you can PM him or talk to him at this thread.

Well, very very nice. Nice design, stitching, loops......very solid. He and you should both be proud.........now wear it, cherish it and tell it bedtime stories that a good holster would like.......:D
Shoot well.

Thanks Eric. Nice to see another fine holster maker complimenting someone. You ,Lou,Gary,and Kevin Manley are class acts all the way. And it was a pleasure dealing with 5Shot(John). He was every bit as helpful.

Yo Krang...

Speaking as someone who has absolutely NO CLASS, I agree wilth Eric..Dude has got some talent...Kudos to U and him... ;)

Also I would suggest he get himself a website going.. He has to much talent not to...

And tell him to stay away from pocket holsters! :mad:


BTW...I let my holster's watch horror movies with me, instead of telling them stories...Right now there are 7 in the drying rack rewatching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!! :what:

unpleasant dreams :evil:

I had stomach surgery yesterday and I almost busted a stitch. :D I couldn't include everyone or it would be as long as my holster list. Every maker I've talked to on this and other sites have been great guys. I salute all of you. If I have to file for bankruptcy , it will be all of the holster makers fault. :D

Here's the review. Had some time to work with the holster. It's loosened up some after I wrapped the gun in a couple of layers of wax paper. The workmanship is top notch. Stitching is tight and even over the entire holster. Belt snaps are perfect for my 1½ Rafter belt. The holster molds to my hip and the gun lays tightly against my forward kidney area. There's very little noticeable bulge or distortion in the belt area. The draw is tight do to the newness of the holster but with the forward cant, it's very quick and smooth. I've had surgery on my stomach in the last week but the rig is very comfortable in a sitting position. Standing or sitting, nothing is digging into my side or back. Since I have no "love handles" the holster is one of the most comfortable I have. 5Shot, this is 1 great holster. My congratulations on a fine product. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I am more than pleased with the holster. You are a true craftsman. Thank you.
