I tried to get a hold of one of the other metioned above, multiple times, and got no reply. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere and am glad I did!

He certainly has some nice work on his website. Can you say if the turnaround time was/ will be as long as he predicts?

I had mine done last year. Took him about a week. He was starting a new job and he does this on the side. So I think his turnaround will be a little longer with his new job. It would be well worth the wait IMO. I am going to have him make me a couple more when I get time to talk to him.

Srigs and Vlad do great work. If you want to make your own, you might consider Old Faithful holsters. They market a kit that looks like a knock-off of the Crossbreed.

They have videos of how to make them, or they have pre-molded kydex in their super deluxe kits for popular handguns. ;)

Last I heard, Vlad was no longer making holsters. Is he back in business (looking for an IWB for my 1911)?

Last time I talked to him he was going to be working on something for me.

thanks for all the input. i would like to come up with some sort of "race" holster thigh rig for my Lone Eagle. Really could have used it this weekend. Looking for someone that can use a little sring steel maybe wrapped in leather. Will try some of the members mentioned. And, thanks again :D

A race holster for a rotary breach single shot?

Not to deter you from what you want, but what about a sling set up? I have a sling on my .358 Winchester Lone Eagle and can sling it across my chest or under my arm to carry, cradle it in may arms and all these modes seem faster than any holster.

Way ahead of you Cobb. Have the single single stud with loop sling. Just want to try and, besides it would be real cool. Thanks to all but I think I have a lead. Will post pics if it ever comes to light. Thanks again.
