A Holster For A Soldier
Cross-posted from injennifershead.com
Yeah, it’s cool. It’s all leather. It’s digicam. These pictures have not been edited. Not even cropped.
How’d he do that? Nope, I’m not telling. It’s a special magical proprietary process exclusive to TheHolsterSite.com. Got an image you’ve always wanted on a holster? Talk to Michael.
All that is freaking cool, but it’s not the coolest thing about this holster.
Not in the least. The coolest thing about this holster is that it will soon be on the hip of a soldier in Afghanistan. And we don’t even know which one. All because Michael got an email that said this.
I am the platoon sergeant for a small detachment stationed at a small FOB in Afghanistan. My unit is hosting a super bowl party for ourselves and the US CAV units that we support here in Afghanistan. Also invited are all DOD contractors and DA civilians. We will be sending an invitation to all of the coalition units that are represented here. Currently there are 14 other countries that are represented.
Our intention is to have a football pool for the game. No fee will be required from those who participate as gambling in not permitted and there will be officer along with lower enlisted present. We would like to give out 20 prizes, during commercials (as we cannot view the super bowl commercials on AFN), 1 at the end of each quarter and 2 during half time. No one will be permitted to win more than 1 prize as to ensure that at least 20 people receive a prize. My command and I that are hosting will be exempt from receiving a prize to ensure the appearance of propriety.
We are seeking donations as our FOB has only a small PX with the bare necessities. We estimate that at least 250 people will be in attendance due to the weather. Our hanger has the best heating system; we also have a projector that we brought with us that will allow us to project the game onto a 12×30 white conex that is inside.
Any help in this event will be greatly appreciated.
And since Michael is really not kidding when he tells you he supports our troops, he answered.
Dear Sir,
Sounds like a worthy cause. How would a promotional, custom, hand-made leather holster to fit a Beretta M9 as a prize giveaway sound? Please let me know. Thank you!

The holster pictured above is currently winging its way to Afghanistan. Wanna see more pictures?
Of course you do. Like the picture above, clicking will make huge.
Funny Looking
I am doing some upgrades so this will look a little odd for a bit. I am working as quickly as I can to get it looking nice again. Thank you for your patience.

Website Revision
Friends,
Jennifer and I are currently working hard to make The Holster Site more easily navigable, and more comprehensive. We’re both pretty excited about the whole deal. It’s still going to be the same website that you have learned to love and enjoy, but it will be tweaked and streamlined so that you can find what you are looking for easier. As you have already seen, I’m running two sales at the moment. This is the time to get one of two great products – The Best Belt, and The Executive II. My Christmas orders are stacking up in a hurry!

Correction to Belt Specs
Friends, I had a little typo in my belt listing, and I wanted to draw attention to my correction. I originally stated that the reinforcement core has a 600-lb break strength. The correct statement is that it has a 600-lb tensile strength. Granted, with these numbers, the real world difference between the two terms is merely academic, but I wanted to be clear. The material will not break at 600-lbs, it will begin to stretch and give. I have corrected the typo in the original post, and I do apologize for any confusion.
The Best Leather Belt
12/27/2010 UPDATE: From November 5 until Christmas, I had these belts priced insanely low, and I sold a bunch of them. I couldn’t hold that price, but I do want to offer them at a better deal than I originally intended. Looking at what the majority of people are ordering on these, I’ve made the decision to drop the nickle/chrome hardware completely and instead offer these with the standard option of either stainless steel or brass for the buckles and screw sets. Rather than increasing the price from $50 to $100 though, I’m offering these for only $75.00. This belt is so great that everyone ought to have a couple of them. The price should not be an excuse not to in my opinion.
A great holster may not operate properly without the right belt. This is the right belt, my friends.
Belt IWB II
I’m fortunate enough to have two people in my life that are very hard on holsters. This rapidly leads me to refine my designs and make them even better.
Christmas Time!
New posts may be a little light for the next few weeks, as many of the projects I’m working on are Christmas presents, and I don’t want to ruin anyone’s surprise. I am still taking orders for Christmas, but they are stacking up. Place your Christmas orders immediately to assure that you get them before Santa comes! Thanks to all!
