My el cheapo, but much loved Galco finally crapped out on me as some of the stitching was worn. It had no structural integrity, was hard to reholster and the gun would fallout if you weren't careful on the john. That said, its was extremley comfortable, you'd forget you were wearing it. I decided to udgrade. I bought a Don Hume IWB for $25 on Ebay (I have a pocket holster following it I liked it so well). I love this thing. Its built like a tank, made of great leather and you can hold it upside down and shake it and still get good retention. It reholsters smoothly and draws one handed very nicely without any "stickiness" that I was afraid of with a tighter holster. Mikey likes it. I'd reccomend taking a look at one.

Yep! and proud of it. Seriously, if you just race out and buy a holster new you are an idiot.They are a very personal thing. Everyone of us has gone through several. They wind up on ebay for about half price or less all the time. Always look there first. I bought two for less than the price of one new one, and I didn't look all that long either.

Oh how soon we forget. E-bay and Paypal are extremely anti-gun. But that doesn't mean much to you, so sad! (sarcasm hat ridin' high)!

I paid by check, so there! As far as ebay, if they don't want the liability of selling guns, that's their call, but paypal just sucks. I won't use it.

So it's ok to do business with an Anti? Who do you think owns Paypal?

It's your choice, and I agree it's a great price. But doing business with Ebay is like supporting the Brady Campaign and George Soros with one transaction!

I won't ague the point with you. Because all I know about ebay is that they won't sell guns, but will sell other fireams stuff like holsters and optics so I figured they can't be all that anti. Paypal used to work on gunbroker, but now won't so I'm annoyed with them. I've gotten some good deals on a lot of stuff from ebay, so unless they are writing checks to the Brady Bunch I'll deal with them. I hope that's not the case.

I own a couple or three Don Hume holsters. One in particular, is a great leather IWB, for my PPK/S. Wears well in shorts, and even on swamp hot days, has held up.
The other is a IWB for my M85 snub, and a full size 1911 OWB rig when I could open carry while living in NC.
I've purchased and sold a couple of gun access., antiques, etc,.. on ebay. No problems, if the price is right, why pay more than you have to?
-
I have a few composite OWB holsters but I use this for both my carry guns IWB. Have used the same style for years. Roger Phillips, AKA "sweaten Bullets" turned me on to these and they are great.

I carry my 1911 in his JIT Slide holster. Had if for three years or more and it's still doing the job. Even at full price they're a good value.

Yes FQ, E-bay actively supports anti gun groups, a friend of mine got booted for posting a 30 round AR mag. and Paypal tries to make trouble for perfectly legal dealers.
On the other hand, like Wal Mart, you have to shop where you can actually afford to buy instead of just looking and wishing.
And if McGyver has that much of a problem with them he should do like the Liberals did about South Africa, (Good Idea for all of us who can afford to ) Buy stock in the company then raise hell at the annual shareholders meeting.
They have to let you speak because you are a part owner, you divert income from anti's and the uninformed into your own pocket (more ammo ;D ) and if enough of us do it we reverse the policy and maybe even take over the fastest growing corporation in the US.

Ebay, PayPal, AARP, THEY ALL CAN SUCK MY ARSE!
If I had the funds, you're DAMN right i'd do it!

I expanded on the idea by adding a little history in the thread on Wal Mart.
It actually did cause US companies to divest their holdings in SA.
Unfortunately I'm in the same boat money wise or I would do it in a heartbeat.
But even 1 or 2 shares are enough that they have to invite you to the stock holders meeting, even if they know you are pushing an agenda.
Remember Charlton Heston at the Music co. stock holders meeting, all he did was read the lyrics of one of the Rap songs they had sold.

Its a good tactic and it did work. Of a Saul Alynski's better ideas (he pioneered its use against Eastman Kodak). ;D

Take a look at www.generationamerican.org as a great (read: conservative) substitute for AARP. Go to www.gunbroker.com for your holster needs and pay by check or money order when you see something you want/need.
WOW, I wish I could solve everybody's issues so easily (LOL).
Heck, just to prove how easy it is, you can send me a check and I'll cash it and let you know I got it.

+100 !
I'm not for going broke to take business away from someone I don't like to prove a point. My economy is more important than trying to prove some abstract point no one will even know I'm trying to prove. ??? Bill T.

Well, I can do lots better than raising hell at a stock holders meeting.
With my luck with stocks, when I buy into a company, it's the Kiss of Death. Stock price heads straight into the crapper.

Solus, why don't you do us a favor.
Just sit back and complain.
Some of us would like to fleece the sheep before we start cutting it up for lamb chops. ;D
