Sidearms & Scatterguns Check Out My New Gray/Charcoal Kydex Holster!

[Jer]

I wanted to post this quick review of this holster in case anyone else is in the market and doesn't feel like waiting months and months.

A big thank you to Steve at Colorado Holster for this bad boy. This holster is flawless and I couldn't ask for anything better. The fit and finish is second to none and that includes Raven Concealment, NTAC and all the similar producers of such holsters. The retention is simply perfect. My buddy just waited over 3mos for his Raven holster only to find out they had some computer snafu that lost his and supposedly other people's orders. I still don't know how they still continue to get enough business to be three months out with this sort of customer service. He contacted Colorado Holster and had a holster in his hands in Nebraska by the end of the same week for less money. Steve is right here in Northern Colorado (Fort Collins to be exact) and his turn around time is insanely fast compared to others. He's got OD green, digital gray and digital desert as well. My nest holster will likely be a digital desert camo. Now, without further adieu, here's the pics:

Pictures don't do this thing justice.

Those look great, and more like 2 weeks is a much better turn time time than some of the competition.

Yeah, to me 2 weeks is what should be expected for something like this. I had a conversation with one of the people from Raven Concealment over a year ago on M4Carbine.net about meeting demand and they said they were making the proper increases in staff and production to meet demand for supply and here were are over a year later and people are STILL waiting for almost three months to get a holster. Even if it were a month that's still too long and over 2x what it takes to get pretty much the same holster from Colorado Holster. If it weren't for Magpul Dynamics Handgun videos I don't think this would even be a debate among some of those who excuse the wait periods and customer service by RCS.

It isn't just RCS, look at Milt Sparks or any other quality leather rig maker. I say good on them all, they have business model and a work force that they are comfortable with, and people are willing to pay the fair and get in line.

The best part? It tells anyone that is interested ion making a quality product and offering good CS that there is plenty of room to push product / make money in that industry.

Choice is good.


Good luck

Yes RCS has a longer wait. However, I can tell just from the pictures of your new holster that they put out a better product.

Looks good. Pricing is on par. Yes RC had insane wait times, however people know that and put in the order just as I did. Looks like I know where I can go for my next order... Thanks for the pics.
