Hey all-
First of all, no paid advertisement here...just wanted to give an update regarding a custom leather holster company that I've been eyeing for a while called Winthrop Holsters http://www.winthropholsterstore.com/servlet/StoreFront. They're in Lakewood, Ohio (north side of Cleveland area near the lake...hence the clever name...) and in addition to online sales, ebay sales and local gun shows, they also have a store front. They also have a ton of videos and some very positive reviews. The best part is their prices...they're insanely reasonable (great contradiction in terms)...$45-$100 (and the $100 is for a IWB holster-mag holder combo!!!)
Now for the unfortunate downside: they currently only have a C9A1/C40A1 mold http://www.winthropholsterstore.com/servlet/the-429/Steyr-C9A1-OWB-w-fdsh-Shield/Detail and can make their various different styles of holsters for C9A1/C40A1s & S9A1/S40A1s. Which is great for all the C- & S-series...and not so great for the rest of the M-series.
However, today I gave their customer service folks a bunch of Steyr-specific info (including this forum as an info source) as well as sources for MA1 blue guns (only $40). I also explained about our forum's loyal following and the limited number of holster makers (specifically leather holster specialists) that currently support Steyr pistols, after which I heartily encouraged them to get molds for the M9A1/M40A1 and that they would be more than paid-for once folks found out about their availability and the great prices.
Here's where y'all can help out...check out Winthrop's website and videos (lots on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/WInthropHolsters?feature=watch). Based on that, if you're interested in one of their pieces for our favorite brand, email their customer service department at sales@winthropholsters.com and encourage them to get the blue gun so they can start M9A1/M40A1 holster production! From this specific section, I know I'm not the only one that wants to the get a good quality leather IWB for an M9A1 or an M40A1. Let's give them a reason to make us some gun leather!
If anyone has any questions, please let me know-thanks!
