Thanks,

This is where I'm headed with the holesters. Plenty of security with light emitting abilities and protection for edges of lenses while carrying. Belt loops on rear unless someone talks me into using tek-loks on them.
I figure these will be in the $150 range.
I'm trying to finish up a couple holesters for a nice lady this weekend and I'm waiting on a caimon to arrive then I'll build 10 of these if ya'll want one.

I'm interested in one Tri-V Holster is it leather? Kydex?

[Light11]

I'm interested in a couple holsters, Tri-V and 005.
Welcome back Matt

"I'm interested in one Tri-V Holster is it leather? Kydex?"

Hmmm, yes. ;-).
I'll have a model to show y'all this weekend.
I have 2 orders to wrap up and then I'll get started on spy and tri orders.

Good to be back!

Hi Matt

Great news I will be in for a Tri-V holester

Looking forward to seeing them

I'm in for one spy007 and one tri-v holster

[Tim W]

Kydex?

Why would you want garbage?

007 leather for me!

[easilyled]

I'm interested in a horizontal holster for the SPY007 and also a TRI-V (if possible without the metal beltclip, prefer beltloop)

[helios123]

Why would you want garbage?

007 leather for me!

I didn't say i wanted it..just asking. I prefer leather myself

[m-thew]

I also prefer leather, believe me! The challenges in building a case for the Tri-v however, required more than I could provide with leather. My 3 criteria in this design were:
Security of the light.
Protection for the light with it's multiple edges, corners and lenses.
Ability to use all 3 emitters while Holestered.

I needed the case to bend and curve and stay where I put it, so this old leatherworker was forced to use Kydex and you know what? After handling the Kydex Holester with the full leather back and strap, I couldn't be happier.

That holster looks nice! Any ETA?

Will that holster fit gunner grip spys as well?

[m-thew]

ETA is first of year.
It will fit the Tri-V's with the gunners grip but the Spy 007's will have a different build overall. (No trough for the reflector lens and no wrap around build for flood.)
But, the Spy 07 will fit in the tri-v snugly, there is just extra space where the 2 Tri-V emitters are.

Nice...I'm in for one Tri-V holster,Thanks

[mohanjude]

Tri-v kydex holder and a holster for the spy 007 please in leather.

Thanks

[m-thew]

Ok, leather it shall be. And some mighty fine leathers at that. You all are right, kydex is neat and relatively cheap, but not the right choice for the 007 or Tri-V. I believe Tim said what ya'll were thinking.
I talked with Data and with his guidance decided that the kydex will be prone to marking/scratching the lights and leather as the only way to go.
stay tuned........

Thanks,
Matt

[mohanjude]

that is good news.. Matt I sent you a pm regarding the holsters... I have been accused of been a AOTH fanatic.

Matt,

Your work is second to none! I'm looking forward what you have in store for the Tri-V Holster and can't wait for my new Holsters to arrive

Thanks

Looking forward to what you come up with!

I'd definitely be in for a non-endangered species leather Spy007 belt holster (leather loop rather than metal clip prefered)...

[Midnight Run]

Leather huh?
Count me in too for one of each!

[m-thew]

I'm looking at some fine calfskins, goat and kangaroo as well as elephant, shark and alligator. The 3 "domestics" are very handsome, not as unique as the exotics, but classy! I like the clean smooth look and rich feel that a quality leather has, and the calf, goat and kangaroo fit that bill.

[Rudi]

Mat, have you considered leather-covered Kydex, to take advantage of the vitues of both?

[easilyled]

Matt, any chance of making some closed holsters with flaps, rather than open holesters, with belt loops?

I'd personally prefer to be able to easily remove my Spies from the holster if I need to use them, but to keep them 100% protected while I'm walking around with them.

[karlthev]

Yo Matt, Tri V in leather I believe you said??? "In"!


Karl

[Light11]

Matt,

Leather with a flap and belt loop please.

[Tim W]

I believe Tim said what ya'll were thinking.
...the kydex will be prone to marking/scratching the lights ...

The scratching is definitely what I was worried about.

Looking forward to pics of a leather one for the 007!!

A shark (or calf second choice) Spy007 belt holster sounds like exactly what I've been looking for...

[marcar]

All leather is what I was hoping for and glad to see this. I'll be in for a 007 and Tri-V.

[mendhammarsh]

Interested in SPY 007 holster with snap flap, leather with metal clip in a vertical alignment. Thanx
