If these are variants of your pocket holsters and used for the same reasons, I'm good. I have two of them and they work well.

I am not a big fan of the changes in body/thread color.

I am a basic kind of person and when I first looked at them was thrown off and unsure of what you were asking.

My apologies for my confusion.

I love your product and have used them for years but won't stray from the basic black on black model.

Robert ...

Prefer the darker stains myself. My picks would be on the bottom row, moving far left to right, #1, #2 and #4.

I have basic black holsters from you now. That being said I wouldn’t think twice about using the new color ways in your photo. I like them!

As a general rule, I buy holsters for their utility, not their color, so if those are pocket holsters for J-frames not only do I like all of them but I want one.

I like them, Bob. Yours is the only pocket holster I own and use. How many
makers call you on the phone when you place an order ? Only one that I know of…
Regards,

My preference would be top row far right, but I don't have a gun that
would fit in my pocket.

I have two of your excellent pocket holsters, square and round cut, though I only use the round. I interchange my S&W 640-1 and Colt DS when I pocket carry.

I think what most of us care about, and why we like your holsters, is their excellent functionality. Or, put another way, I don't think most users care about how they look much.

That said, they all look fine to me.

Are you hoping for broader visual appeal?

I have been carrying in one of your pocket holsters for many years. It has served me well, and shows no signs of deterioration after all this time.
I could care less about color. It spends its time in my pocket. I would be happy with any of them as long as the material and design is the same.
Thank you for making a very functional and durable holster.

I think options are a good thing. I started getting these pocket holsters about 15 years ago. Round and square cut for my J , L frames and my pocket autos. My favorites have been the brown on brown but style has never been my strong siut.
