Default Tex Shoemaker Out of buisness

Received an email from Tex Shoemaker and it looks like they are having a parking lot sale at their shop prior to going out of business. I have some of their products and they are excellent quality, another old line leather company will be missed.

Internet small company holster manufacturing is a booming business. This a case where the small guy hurts the big guy. A lot of people also have gone to plastic holsters, which adds insult to injury.
