Lobo Gun Leather started as a hobby-based business in 1972. As a young police officer there were things that I wanted for myself, and I made them. Then my friends and co-workers started asking me to make leather gear for them. This remained the situation until after I had retired from law enforcement.

I have used and carried just about every type and style of holster over the past 40 years. I have come to understand what works and what doesn't work, what is comfortable and what is not. What I offer to my customers is, in large part, that base of experience.

I make holsters in several styles, some intended for concealed carry, others intended for range and field use. Within each style there are several options available to customize the product to individual needs and preferences.

Answers for the April sale event:

On the night of April 18, 1775 several riders were dispatched from Boston to warn surrounding communities of the advance of British troops under General Gage, intent upon disarming the colonists and seizing stores of ammunition. On the following morning the British were met with rifle fire at the Old Stone Bridge at Concord, the "shot heard round the world" beginning the American Revolution.

Paul Revere was captured by the British. William Dawes lost his horse and was stranded. The actual warning was delivered to Concord by Doctor Samuel Prescott.

Another rider was Mr. Wentworth Cheswell, a free black citizen who also served as schoolmaster, constable, and justice of the peace in his home town. Mr. Cheswell is generally acknowledged as the first black American elected to public office.

MATERIALS

Unless otherwise noted for a specific item, I use top-quality vegetable tanned cowhide of weights appropriate for each design. I buy from reputable US tanneries, no imported hides, no junk. There are cheaper ways to do it, but not here at Lobo Gun Leather.

METHODS

All of my products are wet-molded and hand-fitted to the handgun, finished with neatsfoot oil compound for lasting protection, and treated with acrylic sealant for moisture protection.

Holsters are hand-formed by the cased and blocked method (wet forming) and most will be "boned", which is a process utilizing a variety of tools to mold and model the leather to the details of the handgun's shape.

Tooled and carved holsters will be wet-molded, cased and blocked, not detail boned, as this would destroy the details of tooling or carving.

A NOTE ON PATENTS AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS:

There are many holster makers out there, there are many unique designs (some of which have been patented), and there are copyrighted trade names in use by other makers.

I respect the designs and innovations created by others, and I have great respect for those who have come to this business before me. I will never knowingly copy another maker's design, nor will I offer any product that infringes upon the patents or copyrights of others.

Please do not ask me to duplicate the products or designs of other makers.
