I expect it'll have Lobogunleather's maker's mark on it whatever it is.

2 holsters and a belt.

I know the feeling.

I received my package in the mail today. My revolvers fit the holsters perfectly, and they look great. As does the belt. I'm impressed by Ray's workmanship.

I'm working 12 hr night shifts this week, and since the wife is out of town, I need to cook up some dinner, pack my midnight lunch, and get ready for work. But I will get some pics posted when I have some free time.

Here is a pic of my new carry rig. It's a Lobo Gunleather enhanced pancake with a smooth leather liner, accompanied by a Lobo Gunleather B8 belt with a Lazy Stitch pattern. Color is Russet.



Here's a pic that shows the liner.



I must apologize for the poor quality of my pics. I'm no photographer. They were taken with my iPhone 5 & uploaded to photobucket. I retired my potato camera last year.

The fit & finish of the holster & belt are superb. I have been putting my hands on every brand holster I can find in the stores. None of them even come close to the quality & feel of Ray's leather. Even his stitching is remarkable, using a heavy thick thread that is perfectly spaced. Needless to say , I'm very pleased with my new rig, and I would recommend Lobo Gunleather for your next holster or gun belt.

When I placed my order, he quoted me 6-7 weeks. 4 weeks & 3 days later, I recieved my order. WOW!! All I can say is Thank you Mr Cory!

(The revolver pictured is my M&P 340 no lock)

I like Ray's holster work. I have a few myself. Congrats on your new leather.

Very nice set up you have there!

Before I forget.... (Seems to happen more frequently lately)

I also picked up a pancake holster for my 4" 686 no dash from his "clearance" section listed on his website. It's his Natural Tan color, but it's only a shade or so lighter than the belt, so I'm pretty pleased. Definately a major improvement over the Uncle Mike's holster I've been using for years. Here's a quick pic.



I need to find me a polished grip adapter...

Roger: I very much appreciate your kind comments.

The Enhanced Pancake Model has been a source of considerable pride for me over the past 5 years. Nearly a year in development and testing resulted in a truly unique "enhancement" of the original work of Roy Baker in developing pancake-style holsters about 50 years ago. Although the Enhanced Pancake Model is only one of 12 designs that I offer it regularly accounts for about 40% of all new holster orders. We have completed thousands of Enhanced Pancakes for customers in all 50 US states and dozens of other countries so far.

By the way, as far as the actual workmanship of your holster and belt I must admit that I can claim credit only for the actual design. Most of the actual hand work is now being performed by a very talented young lady who has been working with me for the past 4-1/2 years. OK, I taught her everything she knows about leather and holsters, but she does great work and deserves the credit.

27 years old, bachelors degree in marketing, NRA-certified handgun instructor, mother of a two year old boy, homeowner working two jobs. Not very many like her, at least in my experience.

I think Lobo Gun Leather will be in good hands long after I'm gone.

Best regards.

I had read somewhere on this forum that you had a "protoge'". While it's always rewarding to have a successful business of your own, passing your knowledge & skills down to a younger generation is even more rewarding. Even more so when they become successful on their own.

Keep up the good work. I'll be placing another order with you in a month or two. My 629 deserves something better than the old Uncle Mike's that it calls home.
