Friday I had an unannounced visit from the FedEx guy.
But it is OK; he was bringing a lovely package of goodies.
Some leather I had ordered directly from Lou, well before he went into hospital the last time, was finally here.
The work obviously had been recently performed, and the right hand strong side PSS and remarkably comfortable PCH (IWB) for my full sized, John Harrison worked, 1911 Government (.45acp) and an accompanying double mag holder.
It IS superb.
Fit and finish is outstanding and although no one likes waiting, it was well worth it. A dab of Leather Lightning and the draw became consistently clean and smooth. Presentation was without fault and the only thing different from my earliest draw/shoot skills was the too rapid passing of forty nine years or so. By the way; THAT sucks!
However, gazing at the lawn from the top down IS a lot better that seeing it from the bottom up.
Lou had presented high quality leather for me from newbie thru Lt.Col.
Somewhere he is proudly grinning at his legacy of skill and quality. He has reason to smile.
