Custom gunbelt & holster leathersmiths?

[FSCJedi]

Anybody know someone who does quality custom leatherwork? I want a nice gunbelt and holster for the new Mateba I'm gonna be gettin' sometime in the future. I'm gettin' the 8" in .454 Casull, so I'd need .45 Colt cartridge loops. I'd like the holster to be of a drop-leg type (pullin' 8"+ off your belt would be too hard... haha).

So, anyone got any suggestions as to where I could start lookin'/asking around?

check out Sam Andrews at www.andrewsleather.com. he's down in FLA; good quality work; Sam's been at this for over 20 years and the quality is there. his pricing is very good, so he does have a wait-time--that just shows me that he's good at his game.

Hey, that's only like 20 minutes from me! I'm in Ft. Huachuca/Sierra Vista, AZ. I might have to go check him out.

Thank you everybody for the massive amount of links! I appreciate it a lot and am checking them all out right now. I'll post back if I find one I like! You guys rule!

Me again. I searched the sites and found that I'm trying to pick between 3 makers, but all the same style, basically. Here they are:

Drop Loop Buscadero and Mexican Loop Holster
Another Buscadero
And finally, a Vaquero style

The only thing is I'm hoping that if I choose on one of these leathersmiths, they'll be able to form the holster around the Mateba's larger frame. All of the above holsters were designed for thinner single-action revolvers.

How about something a bit more modern....

Scroll down a bit, maybe he could make something to fit the Mateba.

If you got a leather factory or similar store check in there. You usually find a bunch of cards put up for that work.

Which one were you talking about? The Field Flap Holster or the Tactical Thigh Holster?

I'm looking for a drop holster, and if I was going to carry the Mateba for any extended period of time, I'd probably be wearing a long coat for concealment. I just wonder if he could make one of the thigh holsters to fit my Mateba?

I do like that look, though, as far as a modern style holster goes... It's a nice urban option.

The tactical thigh holster. I've been saving up for one, for my GP100 6". Not to CCW but it looks comfortable if I would ever need to open carry.

Beautiful work and great to deal with
