After over eight months of wait but as promised recently by Matt, the mailman brought me a package today. As I opened it, I could smell the leather dye and preservatives. The holster is just beautiful, fits my Titanium Commander perfectly to a T. :) Attention to detail is Matt's middle name. I asked for a 5 degree cant, to copy Lou's DOJ, and asked that the belt loops are made for a 1.5" RafterS/Wilson belt which are thicker than most belts. Matt did not disappoint me.

The gun in the picture was Matt's Baer (I think). I'll try to take some pics with my Precision Gunworks Ti Caspian this weekend.

I don't know what's the problem. Can you see it now?

Yes, much better now. Looks great! As much as I like my Milt Sparks leather, after seeing pictures of Matt's work, I just have to give him a call. I just need to decide what model(s) I want. :?:

Hey RT:
So...you use a different name here huh? I'm sure glad you're happy with the holster but, if I'd have known you were going to post it on THIS site, I'd have used my custom Commander in the photo just to show it off :lol: .

Matt,

NICE Blaster, Dude! Hopefully I'll get to check out your holster tomorrow. 8)

That is a wicked Commander there, it needs a Bobtail. :)
The holster did well today. I only stretched it for about two hours. Took it to the range and used it during a class for demonstration. Probably about 70 draws or more. Still a bit sticky. So when I got home, I put a few drops of Rusty's Hyde Glyde to slick it up a bit. Will use it tomorrow in the match, might even let Mr. Harrison look at it.
Thanks again.

BTW, 5 deg. cant is perfect.

I presume, it must be to emphasize to me (read ANNOY!) that I "blinked" over the battle of whether or not to serrate the bobtail MSH on his Commander. :x

But it's okay now............ I'm already over it. :shock:





I serrated his feedramp instead :twisted:

That's good John.. That should give him something to work for when he shoots his next match..

Matt, Beautiful holster! Not too shabby of a Cmdr either...

Thanks guys!

Hey John, which direction did you serrate the ramp :D

The Commander was built by Neil Keller. Here's the other side:

I prefer Ted's 40 lpi checkering on the feed ramp, but to each his own. :wink:

Neat blaster. What's the story on the grip medallion?

Can y'all see the pic? Most of the time I get the red X. :evil:

John H. , yeah it is I, I know you haven't gotten over getting your feelings hurt over that serrated bobtail MSH. BTW, that smooth S&A lanyard MSH on the springfield needs to stay smooth.

Now do you get the idea how I got my new nickname. :)

Lou: serrated feed ramp helps the feeding of them little bullets.

Matt: would you post a pic of my holster please, I'm tired of imagestation and the little red x deal.

The photo you posted IS visable. I don't know why you can't see it.

Neil found out my birth sign is Capricorn so he got a set of silver Capricorns and inletted them into the Ebony grips.
