Don't know about that, but here is one of the side benefits to eating croc -

Nile Croc, fully lined and waiting for my Heirloom Precision Commander to arive :twisted: !

Definitely not for every day, but I haven't made myself anything but a belt in a looooong time, so I figured I was due!

Seems pretty fragile - scratches easily. It's also very expensive - about 10 times the cost of shark.

I'd probably walk proudly out the door wearing that beauty and scrape against the block wall! :cry:

John,

That is absolutely beautiful! How much would you charge to make one of those for a Walther PPS .40 with a matching belt? I should be getting my WA CCW in a couple of months (and then buying a Walther PPS to carry). I would be very interested in getting one of those holsters and a matching belt made since I love Alligator and Crocodile skin accessories (they go really well with a nice suit). Again, congratulations on making an absolutely beautiful holster.
