Check out my picture of this holster I have been talking about. When I presented it to the Officer (Which because of nature of his work had to remain anonymous), said. "James, I knew this holster was going to be great, but this is superior to all my expectations"! I know the Texas Rangers will love this when they see it.

I now have the opp0rtunity and potential to begin making products for our Troops. My first order is from an established and highly decorated Officer.
