Thanks Andy I appreciate hearing from someone who has one of the two holsters. One more question how is the retention?AndyC wrote: Mon May 25, 2020 9:28 pm I'm impressed. The stitching is top-notch, the edging/burnishing is excellent as is the detailing/boning; I don't regret the wait or the $130 for a second and it's probably the only holster I'll ever need for this pistol.

Re: Leather holsters
His lead times are kind of rough at the moment since his only does it in his spare time but I'm a really big fan of Eric's work.
He's in Decatur so depending on where you're at you may be able to just pick it up from him.
I had him make me one once for an oddball pistol and I have to say it was by fav my favorite holster. Unfortunately the pistol wasn't a fav so the holster didn't see much use.

Re: Leather holsters
Understood... of the two you mentioned, the Privateer appears to be MUCH more refined. I wouldn't even consider the southern trapper over the Privateer for the price it's listed at.patterson wrote: Mon May 25, 2020 7:37 pm Thanks for your input but as I said in my post Im not interested in other choices as Ive akready narrowed my choice to those two

Re: Leather holsters
I'm always amazed at Andy's array of firearms, firearms accessories, experience, ability and knowledge. I'd take anything he says to the bank! Fun to shoot with, too!AndyC wrote: Mon May 25, 2020 9:28 pm I'm impressed.

I agree the Privateer is more refined but I also like the look of the Southern Trapper so I would like to hear about the quality of the Southern Trapperflechero wrote: Tue May 26, 2020 9:47 amUnderstood... of the two you mentioned, the Privateer appears to be MUCH more refined.
