[QUOTE="mm6mm6, post: 896702, member: 9733"] Glock 'Em Down, yep they're both from El Paso Saddlery. I figured I'd get the traditional thong instead of the strap for my Ruger. Instead of going plain, I figured I'd get the border stamping to dress it up a bit. I really liked EPS's quality. I've got a whole bunch of their holsters. I've got a floral carved Threepersons for my Colt and an 1870 Slim Jim for my S&W Schofield and they're very well made and finished: [attach=full]70547[/attach] [attach=full]70548[/attach] Heck, EPS can even dress up a Glock (I'm guessing by your user name that you like Glocks!): [attach=full]70549[/attach] Shadowrider, I've become a big fan of Michael Gouse's work. His turn around time (after you've waited in line through his backlog) is usually pretty fast and he only has my guns for about a month. His pricing is also excellent. I was given a perfect old pair of factory S&W mother of pearl handles for a .32 Safety Hammerless years ago. They sat around in my gun parts box and I kept looking for a deal on an old breaktop I could put them on. Then I happened upon a beater .32 that had a good bore and tight lockup. The finish was gone but I saw a possibility. Since I had nothing in the gun or the grips, I sent the little revolver off to Gouse. This was my first engraved gun. I asked him to do an old world blue on it since I didn't want it looking brand new. I asked for 75% coverage American Scroll. Here is the result: [attach=full]70550[/attach] I was so happy with my little S&W (I wear it in a suspender holster for Cowboy Action Shooting) that I sent my S&W 624 off to Gouse for 75% American Scroll as well, but with Skeeter's Bar-T cattle brand added too. I became addicted to Gouse's work so I sold a few guns I didn't really shoot anymore. I sent him my Interarms Walther PPK (my constant carry gun for 20 years) and a Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32 that I gotten in horrible condition. I had it restored/reblued by a local guy who does excellent work.
