I blame the person who posted his info in another thread for an ancillary illness that goes along with collecting minis - really beautiful leather!

I contacted Absaroka Kid about a holster for my Earl mini. Little did I know I was creating another obsession. Great. Just what I needed.

Here's the rig he made for me - belt, holster and ammo holder. Wow is he GOOD or what? And even better, he's a GREAT man to deal with. Very pleasant
and personable.

Very nice. I love seeing his new stuff. I have a couple of new pieces to review here as well, including an IWB Taurus 85 .38-special snubby holster, as well as a formed open-carry holster for the same gun. They're my first non-NAA holsters from The Kid and you guys are gonna love 'em!

The Kid's work gives me Goosebumps when I see it.
Nothing like it.

BEAUTIFUL.................. cannot wait to see the results for the snubby.

I'm sure he can do black. Not sure about nickel hardware. You can ask him at: [email protected]. You can also see what else he does on eBay by searching for "Absaroka".

True that, Uncle Lee. In fact, when I proposed to him what would later become "The NAA_Collector Butterfly" dual SOB  holster, he thought I was crazy and wasn't afraid to tell me so. LOL. But after some thought and some prototyping, he made what he calls one of his favorite experimental holsters. I dunno if he's ever going to sell any, but it's a pretty cool rig for my two Sidewinders and I'm honored to own 001 serialized prototype. :)

If he doesn't already make what you want, he sees that as a challenge. Bright man, he is! He'll git 'er done!

Uh-oh. I ordered the belt in the wrong size....It's 48" end to end of the leather part and doesn't fit me. Yeah, I'm a fat guy. Even fatter than I thought, apparently.

SO - - This belt is for sale!  $80 and free shipping to members of this forum. You know the Kid's work - I don't have to tell you how nice this is.

You can email me at [email protected] if you are interested. I like paypal, but checks or m.o. would be fine.

Thanks,

Michael

Or have him make you a matching belt extension until you loose some weight.  No need to ask me how I know about that.

That is really sweet.

I just ordered one of his pocket holsters for my 1 5/8" mag over the weekend.  Looking forward to getting it.

Hey... me too! ;)

Thanks, guys.  Looking forward to the new pics as there may be another new mini in the near future.... :)

Anyone know about how long it takes to get one of The Kid's holsters after it's ordered?  I put in an order for one to hold my new Black Widow with the LaserLyte laser on it, and just wanted to get some idea of when it might get here. Really looking forward to it based on the pics on his E-Bay site.

He's generally pretty good with that, but he does have quite a workload. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess maybe a week or two. That's just a guess.

His eBay store is saying on or before Dec 3 if bought today (11-27). A special order may take a little longer.

Six days from order to in my hands!! And I will say that the workmanship and the fit are first rate. I now definitely agree with all the positive posts regarding The Absaroka Kid!

My meager (for now) collection - the Pug was first & then the Black Widow last week. The Pug holster is from Ragsdale, and the BW is the one from The Kid.

More goodies from the Absaroka Kid!

First, a holster for my NAA Wasp:



Note that the Kid's work goes all the way around to the back - no skimping on decoration!

Here's a cross-draw holster made for an SAA:

EXCELLENT PHOTOS! Thanks for sharing. Can I use some of these for the Absaroka Kid's review section of his website?

PaducahMichael

Sure - you are welcome to use any of my photos for the Kid. His work deserves high praise - anything I can do to help!
