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.

UPDATES FOR AUGUST, 2010:
Testing of a new clip-style IWB holster is nearing completion. Look for a new holster model soon.
---------------------------------------------------------
Postage rates have increased over the past year and are expected to rise again soon. I am continuing to provide free delivery to US addresses, but may be forced to change this practice in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------
The new Enhanced Pancake style holster has been very well received since introduction on January 1, 2010. Customer feedback has been very good. I am now incorporating various options based upon customer preferences, with holster linings and slide shields now available.
---------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCTION TIME: now estimated at about 4 weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Enhanced Avenger style, developed in 2009, has replaced the Traditional Avenger model. Customer feedback has been excellent, and the enhancements provide a true improvement in performance on this classic design.

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 exteriors treated with acrylic sealant for moisture protection.
PLEASE NOTE: General production items will be cased and blocked (formed to the handgun using hand pressure only). Detail boning is a very time consuming process requiring that the leather be at the correct moisture content and temperature. In an effort to keep prices at a reasonable level, detail boning is offered only as an option for the customer requiring that work, and only in certain holster styles.
Tooled and carved holsters will be wet-molded, cased and blocked, not detail boned, as this would destroy the details of tooling or carving.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHIPPING
I absolutely hate the inflated "shipping & handling fees" that so many businesses use to inflate profits, so I do not do that to my customers. All prices shown include delivery via First Class Mail to any US address. International orders are shipped at actual cost; customs and duties are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
For the customer who has a specific idea of what is wanted I will try to bring those ideas to completion in a finished product based upon my own interpretation of specific elements of design and production. Please do not ask me to duplicate the products or designs of other makers.
