I was. And I am left handed, which makes finding holsters for out of print guns SO much easier. 
Well, now it IS easy.
A few years back, I mentioned in a thread here, the problem I was having finding a secure holster for my CS45. None of my 3rd Gen 45 holsters worked with the CS45. Because of the short frame and dustcover/trigger guard shape.
A few days later I recieved a PM from a fine gentleman named Gordon. He wanted my mailing address because he had a CS45 holster for me that he thought would solve my issues. When it arrived I was stunned. Maybe the finest holster I had owned up till that time. Quality on a par with my Ken Null leather. Beautiful design and quality construction. I have used it now for 3 years, wearing it many days per week. And it still looks and functions as new. A comfortable and secure IWB holster for an out of print gun - at an unbelievably reasonable price.
A few weeks ago, I Emailed Gordon. As an instructor at the local range, wearing a 4563TSW and 4566, most days, I needed a comfortable holster that allowed a fast presentation. I also had need of quick access while seated in a vehicle. I liked the S.I.S. style holster - except for the thumb break. It is a vertical speed scabbard style holster based on a Nelson design.
My personal policy on weapons retention is that they may get my pistol - but they get the bullets first. So I wanted an open top with no retention straps. And I wanted a fitted leather holster. No Kydex, for me. I like metal framed, hammer fired guns. And I carry them in leather holsters. Nuff said.
Gordon had me phone him and listened to what I needed. Then he sketched a design for me to view. PERFECT! He made me EXACTLY what I wanted. And then he made me two other fine holsters. One for a 1911 range toy and a "Rhodesian" 4566 holster he though I could use if concealment was needed. All 3 holsters were in my hands within a few weeks. Unbelievably fast service! Only exceeded by the quality of the holsters. Beautifully made. Fine leather and stitching. And reasonable pricing. Really priced too low for what you get, IMO.
I have been wearing the holsters while working at the range and while on duty at the Magistrates Office. The "S.I.S." works great. Better than I had imagined. Comfortable to wear and easy access to either my 4566 OR my rail free 4563TSW. IT FITS BOTH PISTOLS!! PERFECTLY!! How did he do that??!!??
And the Rhodesian, what can I say? I wished I had it when I was working in Investigations. It pulls the 4566s grip into the body. Makes the 4566 disappear under a Golf shirt. In retrospect, I should have listened to Gordons suggestion and just gotten two of the Rhodesians. One for my 4506-1. So I could wear it comfortably and conceal it under a T-shirt.
