Well it's not for a Kahr but It sure is purty!

I love my James Dean holster for my CW9 so much I ask James if he could make a holster for my GP. Well... he didn't have a dummy or real GP so he borrowed a friends gun and made this for me.

Turns out his friend was selling the GP and James put in some OT to make this hours before the gun was sold and gone!


Great guy and one hell of a holster maker

That holster looks way cool. I still miss my favorite wheel gun, a S&W stainless 686. Congrats...

This is the first one I got from James - this IWB for my CM9.

Then, I gave him detailed specs for a custom AIWB holster for my S&W 638, and he made me this beauty that perfectly fulfilled my request.

He also made me a perfect pocket holster for the 638 that I don't have a pic of yet.

All of his holsters have perfect fit and retention, the smoothest edges, perfect stitching, are made of finest Herman Oak leather and are beautiful works of art in leather! Add to that what a great guy he is! I feel privileged to know this man before he gets so famous that I'd have to pay twice the price and wait 6-8 months to get one! I highly recommend one or several of these fine custom works of holster art to all of you who have only ever had holsters in nylon, or kydex, or leather holsters from mass marketers. Getting a holster custom made for your gun is a pleasure close to that of acquiring the gun in the first place, and is a source of continuing pleasure, IMHO.

I agree Jfootin.

I bought a Elcheapo plastic holster when I first got the gun just to have something to put it in. It's just didn't feel right to put all that steal in that cheep holster.

I really didn't need a super nice leather holster for it, not like I'm going to CC this beast but I never plan on parting with the gun so I just bit the bullet and had him make me one.

SShhhhhh...don't tell my wife. She'd go off on me about trying to play cowboys and Indians. No sense in trying to explain to her.....she just wouldn't get it.
