Default High Quality Holster

I have owned a lot of holsters during my life, old, new, cheap, expensive but this evening I opened a package from Georgia and removed what I believe to be the nicest, highest quality holster I have ever held in my hands.

If you have one really nice gun or a trusted old friend that deserves a great piece of leather check out Purdy Gear.
www.purdygear.com/

Karla Van Horne was absolutely super to deal with from the initial contact by phone to the delivery of this little gem.

Thanks Tom for reminding me that I needed to replace this image. This particular one is shown on the Purdy Gear website.

I have not purchased any of her leather but I have seen it firsthand when she had a booth at "End of Trail" in New Mexico.

It was the highest quality leather I had ever seen. Very nice lady as well.

Agreed. Did that last night. Wow. Double wow. Almost like being at an art gallery. It was time better spent than watching whatever might have been on the idiot box.

Double wow is right! And right down the rod from me, too.

This is another recent bargain find, for an L-Frame/Python. Not the fanciest of Van Horne's work but a quality holster nonetheless.
