Skeleton Holster

[sergeant206]

I just bought a skeleton holster on Ebay for $109.00. Is this price fair? It was listed a for a magnum, were they made for the mags or just LR frames? It was new in the box. Opinions are welcome, Thanks

NAA is coming out with skeleton belt buckle holsters again very shortly. before the end of the month according to Sandy the owner.

Being that they were and currently are till the end of the month "discontinued", you paid somewhere in the median range for what they have been selling for on ebay. Unfortunately in your case, had you held out a little longer you would have probably paid a little less than half that.

   Yes they were available in both mag and lr sizes and will be offered in both sizes again.

Well thats my luck, since I have the S, LR and Mag I guess I can get the other buckles, anything planned for the short? Thanks

First, Welcome to the forum!

   If you go here http://northamericanarms.com/soapbox.html">http://northamericanarms.com/soapbox.html, you can read what the company owner had to say (and, usually it will change at the first of the month) regarding the buckles. He did not mention the short.

Since there isnt a buckle for the short you might as well sell it to me. ;)

Thanks for the welcome and offer, reckon I'll hang on to it. My wife bought me the LR with the western buckle and the one with the aluminum grips for christmas last year. I found a short and a mag at a shop this weekend and got both for 300.00. They were like new but no boxes. the mag has a boot grip on it. I have been bit by the bug now. Anybody doing stag or elk grips for these? Thanks again, Sergeant206

You got a good deal.

+1 on the good deal,  I usually see them priced at $185 each and up.  I'm thinking a short is in my future, I can't think of why I want one, or anything I would do with it that I couldn't or wouldn't do with the Magnum, but I feel a short coming none the less

Thanks guys, I am hooked on these guns! I would buy both a LR and a short skeleton holster when available!! Something about the little short that scratches my itch. I want to get stags, elk or something for all three.

[heyjoe]

my short is one of my favorite firearms. i was very happy when i found a store that had it. drove right over.if anything belongs on a skeleton belt buckle that is it.

Here is a pic. of my short with Spresser Knife works Sambar Stag Grips.

[sergeant206]

I will be ordering a set of three of those grips if he still makes them, thats perfection!!! I am glad that others feel the same about the shorts, seems like you see alot of magnums and some LR's but not to many shorts. I wonder what the sales ratio is between the models?

[grayelky]

If I were guessing, I'd say the short accounts for maybe 10% of revolver sales. 20% would really surprise me.

[lowready]

Aren't they only made like once every year, or two?

[blitzkrieger]

Grayelky, I got the messege you sent about the short in an email, tried to reply, it was rejected so I deleted that and ultimately lost all messege info. Please resend ;)

[sergeant206]

I got three pair of the stags ordered from Mr. Spresser. What a nice guy to do business with. The buckle came in today, in the original box and looks unused. Feeding the addiction is always good!!
