I would like to introduce myself to the members here at the Louder Than Words Custom Holster forum. My name is Ian Martin and I have been building holsters for 22 years with having my own company, International Handgun Leather which just celebrated its 15th anniversary.

We started out making products of our own design for several large industry related specialty houses who kept us so busy that we could not launch our own identity. I am glad to say that we were able to publish our own website late last month. We offer concealed carry and cowboy gunleather. Some of our products are custom made and all are made one at a time.

The pictures show one of our custom holsters the NAM-Shark and the N.A.M.3 which is based on the designs of two of the world's greatest holster makers. Holster designer, innovator and leader in modern combat leather, the late Mr. Bruce Nelson started this concept with his 'Patriot' design; and most recently Mr. Lou Alessi, who transformed the 'Patriot' design into his CQC-S masterpiece.

I was able to thank Lou for his assistance to me on this 3rd generation upgrade, but on February 21, 2009 the holster world lost another great, Mr. Lou Alessi. Our N.A.M. style holsters are dedicated to the memories of Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Alessi. May their visions live on!

I thank you for your time.

Regards

Ian Martin

I spent some time looking at your website. Nice stuff to say the least. Also your estimate of delievery times and prices are very reasonable. Next time I am in the market for a high quality holster, which I am sure will be soon, I will taking a good hard look at your stuff.

We like our holsters to look good but most important is that they function as intended.
