Yes Jeff it does but I have a "case" on it already so it's a little bigger than normal that's why it works. Just make it a tad bit thinner, probably add a belt clip of some sort and your all set. Another market line? How many cowboys carry BlackBerrys anyway?

I really like the blackberry case idea, I go through one case a month, your work looks like it would last years

Great Looking Work

You would be surprised... I don't have one, But I'm always looking to expand.
I have to be able to market stuff for the Big City folks as well.
One of these days I'll post a picture of one of my btriefcases, or one of the Day planners I make for all them busy city people

Thanks for the review Al!

If interested, you should look at what you need to do to make them sleep when in the holster... I'm pretty sure it's a magnet strategically placed.

Ordered a 4 finger, basket weave a week or so ago. Got conformation of my order. A day or so later, Jeff sends me an email saying he will start it on Monday. Then says he's dropping the price by $5.

You're not gonna be in business long if you keep giving these things away, bro.

Thanks, Jeff - I can't wait to get it.

I'm actually just about done with yours ...
I've been in business 25 years, I just like to make sure I'm not ripping people off ... Though I am going to have to raise the price on these things by about $5. soon ... The cost of Good American Oak tanned leather is going up again soon

... it goes up almost twice a year now, And I just WILL NOT use cheap imported leather at all!

Seems like people will gladly pay a few extra bucks for a quality handmade product, with real leather. Keep up the good work.

Yes, that is true... My gun leather and saddle and tack products have always been top of the line custom work and I do charge accordingly

I did have to raise my prices as my leather cost is going up quite a bit this week

And at the old prices I really wasn't covering labor.
BUT ...where they are now is where they will stay for quite a long time.

Also ...I forgot, For those of you who asked about a smooth lining I did the calulations ... A lining of GOOD light Kip skin (if your squeemish don't ask what a "Kip Skin" is ) ... Will add $18. to the cost of a case, I know that seems like a lot of $$$ but it's expensive leather, And to use 4oz claf skin would make the case way too thick and heavy.
