Thanks again RiverRat!

Please....steal away!!! I don't want people to miss a great opportunity to work with a really nice person to get a CUSTOM leather holster!

Update!

I received the holster in the mail today and I have to say that I'm extremely pleased with how the holster turned out. The pictures in the original post just don't do it justice. I think the flash is washing out the color a bit. The purples are much richer. The holster is well made and fully lined AND dyed on the inside. Both my full size USP and the Compact USP fit. I love the design and with my 5.11 belt, it snugs right in. I can't wait until it breaks in a bit and really fits like a glove. I'm having a hard time containing my excitement. It's a darned shame I have to conceal the holster. It's just way too nice to cover up. Gentleman, I'm telling you this would be a lovely gift for the lady shooters in your life!

I know there have been a few threads about the marvelous designs done by one of our forum members, RiverRat. In particular, there were some pictures posted of pink leather holsters for women. I made the comment at the time that pink wasn't really my favorite color, but I love purple and black. RiverRat took up the challenge. Although by now, I imagine he may be pretty sorry that he did. As I came to understand, purple is not a real friendly leather color and he had to jump through some hoops to get purple leather. We've been working back and forth and he felt ready to do the prototype. I got the pictures of it last night. I still haven't seen the actual holster, but he'll be shipping it to me on Monday. I think it's drop dead gorgeous! I can't wait to see the real thing but I wanted to share the pictures. If any of you guys want to get something special for your ladies that carry, I think this would be a great idea. He'll work with you for any kind of design on the front. This has really been a fun project from start to finish. RiverRat is a great guy to work with!

Enjoy the pics! P.S. From what he said, the purples didn't come across real well in the photos.
