Hi there from Vicksburg/Redwood
by GI_Loveguns on Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:08 pm
Hi, folks. My name is Chris Farrer (pronounced "FAR") & I am a holster maker from Redwood, MS, which is about 10 miles North of Vicksburg. I am 44 yrs old & have been making custom concealment holsters since 1990. I have been pretty much local & part-time since then (business-wise), but I just spent almost $1000.00 on Blue Guns this morning, so soon I will be able to make holsters for about 30+ different handguns for anybody anywhere. My ultimate goal is to quit my job & go full-time holstermaker. Wish me luck!
Everything I make is 100% hand-made, from the stitching to the molding, dying & finish. The only machine used in the process is a Dremel tool with a sanding drum to true up the edges before beveling & stitching. I will post some pictures of some of my work in the appropriate section here in the next few days.
I would like to get some of you guys' input on what kind of stuff you would like to see in the way of concealment holsters. My business is called Custom Concealment Systems, with the keyword being "Custom". I make holsters to the customer's specifications, within reason. If it isn't do-able, I'll let the customer know it & why, as well as try to give alternatives to their idea(s).
Also, I don't always have to have cash. I like to trade sometimes, too! Anybody needs anything, drop me a line & we'll discuss what you want.
Here's to long, prosperous & gun-filled lives for us all!

Welcome, be sure to post a few examples of your work too, I could use a couple of holsters myself.

Chris's work is absolutely second to none
The LW Commander holster at the bottom was made in 97. Still going strong. These are all IWB SOB. I have been having Chris do all my leather work since he started.
Absolutely flawless. Chris has been a very good friend for many years. You will enjoy dealing with him
.btw...sorry for pic qual. quickies with the ipad.
