In mid November it became apparent that the health condition I have been dealing with for the past couple of years, a very nasty type of inflammatory arthritis (that mainly affects my feet, knees, hips, low back, and my arms from my shoulders to my fingertips), had gotten to a point where it was impossible to make a living producing gunleather (and makes me dread doing things that I love to do). After working for as little as 30 minutes I would be in so much pain that I could hardly walk or use my hands--both of which are very important to this vocation. To make matters worse, the flare-up would then usually continue for 24-48 hours. Continually falling behind on getting orders made me decide that I had no choice but to take a job that I could do regardless of a flare-up and one that would not aggravate the condition and transition holstermaking to a part-time venture (at least until I could find a more effective course of treatment). Unfortunately, I am not certain as to how my holstermaking future will play out at this time.  I should know more within the next month or two. Anything that is ordered at this time could have a turnaround time of several months or longer.

With this said, customers are more than welcome to still place an order and get in to the queue. If it turns out that I will be closing shop, I will post a notice on this website and will try to send notification via email to those who have orders in the queue. In the event that I will continue making holsters, I will post updated delivery times when I know for sure how things will play out and confirm any pending orders prior to processing any payments.

ORDERS FOR REPLACEMENT BELT LOOPS OR HARDWARE:

I will try to support orders for these items the best I can--please be patient though as I currently have very limited time available.
