Alligator holster - 1911 double stack

[Glockster69]

Alligator holster - 1911 double stack, 5" bbl

OWB BBQ holster is what I'm looking for with 2 contact points.

I'd like the hide to be course, preferably from the gators back. Would like high ridge(s) included if possible. It would be great if the skin was from a Texas gator and even better if it came from Lake Livingston, but that's just wishful thinking.

Natural deep green/black colors only.

Depending on price, I may want matching dual mag holder as well.

Perhaps the *ridge* could run horizontal matching grain from holster to mag holder. I'm open to your creative ideas.

Did ya' win the damn lottery! Nice BBQ holster you're wanting. El Paso Saddlery? or Mernickle Custom Holsters - Performance Series (Concealment) Both make excellent products. The only problem I've had with EP Saddlery is they don't worry too much about how long it takes. "Months" is not an unheard of wait from EP, no matter what they tell you initially. My experience with Mernickle is that he'll be pretty accurate about the time to produce what you want. I vote Mernickle! Both make high quality stuff.

I bought one of these for my Ruger Birdshead grip single action. Best holster I've ever owned. Still looks like new after 10+ years.

Exactly like that! I knew the scale of things would be troublesome and seeing it on boots is confirmation. Maybe a hide from a small gator will work for me.

Looks much better in person.

No lottery, I just watch my spending. And like the title says, Want to Buy .

I'm not waiting months once I place the order and not playing games either so EP is out. Mernickle's stuff looks pretty good but seems pricey. Thanks for the info Charlie.

I like the boots. I'm saying THOSE ridges would be too big for a holster.

Hit up Vance - txisafetyguy - he's done a few custom holsters for my friends and myself. Did gator skin holsters for me and a buddy, and did a sexy black lizard skin rig for another friend.

Sweet, I'll call him right now!

Lol, TKS.

Has anyone had a holster made by one these Texas companies? Opinion? Good or bad ...

I have 4-5 Tucker Gun Leather holsters, one of which is used for my EDC G19 (but as that one is a IWB hybrid, it doesn't apply to your question). The others, though, are OWB HF models, and all are beautifully crafted.

Hers's one of them (before this BHP of mine was fully customized by Novak):
