" ftom Turkey" holsters

[rustythread]

Looking around at holsters on ebay, I keep seeing new holsters identified only as "from Turkey". The re seem t be at least two stateside sellers of similar / identical holsters. Some of their offerings are interesting to me, but the usual ebay caveats keep running through my head.

Has anyone tried them? Any comments?

I have two, or maybe three. Quick delivery. Good workmanship. Good design. Reasonably heavy leather. No complaints from my end.

I haven't seen them, are they only available on EBay? Personally, if so, I'd be cautious. If they look similar to others you've seen can you tell any visible difference, compared to price difference? Maybe if you're a rare bird that has money to start a fire with, buy one of each in the name of research! Somebody was just asking about one for a bull barrel Model 10. Seems like a good person to turn these on to.
Turkey makes decent guns; maybe their holsters are okay, too.

I miss the old days when you can check out the holsters the old timers were using and then they tell you which Cop Shop to get it at.

I bought a Turkish holster for my 2" pre-10 M&P a couple of years ago. Name stamped on the back strap is Pusat. Belt slots are for both a butt-forward cant and a straight up police cant. Also works in cross draw. Heavy duty leather, took some leather treatment to soften up. Has held it's shape and the retention snap is tight. Price was reasonable. I bought two, and a friend talked me out of one as his Ruger SP snubby fit it fine.

Thanks for the comments.

I wound up buying a used Mixon pancake with thumbbreak safety strap. If that turns out unsatisfactory, I'll revisit the Turks.
