Meco Elephant R9, WOW!

[birdman]

  Found an elephant in my mail box a few minutes ago and it's BEAUTIFUL!!!. When I first saw the pictures Corey posted I thought "that can't possibly look that good". I was right, it looks much better! The color is just about the same as the Seecamp holster in Corey's picture, and just as lovely! Guess I'll go look at the holsters again.      Gene

Gene.  That is fast; three days.  I know you're pleased as punch.  Now, with the caiman, you're on your way to a different exotic carry holster every day.

    This would probably be really funny if it weren't so stupid. I was talking to Robert about the elephant skin holster I was ordering. He told me that very soon after Corey first posted the elephant pictures he got a call from some jerk ranting about killing elephants and giving him s*** about using the skin for making holsters. I can't imagine some dickhead like that accessing our forum.    Gene

They're out there.

[kjtrains]

Just pay no attention to them.  They'll go away.    

[birdman]

   I have an idea, if anyone else calls and has caller ID maybe Robert could post his number. I would love to call him occasionally just to say "hi" or something.     Gene

Probably more like the, or something!

Well, I guess they wouldn't like this one either.

One fine holster!  Excellent!

Thank you, it is a MECO of course.

Well I guess I can also give them something to rant about.

Very nice.Could you tell me about each holster and each pistol.
 I know the R9, but it looks like a Robar version with exception of the grips, the frame looks to be a light color.
Is the 1911 a Kimber? What was done to it?

The holsters look as though they would function well.
The holster in the middle, the Ostrich does look like a Graham, but because I am not sure, I am asking.

Gene:

They can show up anywhere. Back in my Army days, we had an expression for jerks like that:  "#%*@ 'em all but nine -- six for pallbearers, two for road guards, and one to count cadence."

By the way, those are great looking holsters, all!

The first holster is a Rafter S Leather OWB
The middle one is a Ron Graham
The bottom holster was made by Eugene Oppe
The 1911 is a Kimber Ultra CDP II, with Esmarelda grips, Wilson Combat two piece MSH/Magwell.
The R9 was sent to Robar and the entire gun and internals were finished with there NP3 coating, the grips are Rohrbaugh CFs, I got them off a older R9 and then sold the gun to my Son-inlaw.

Thanks for all that info.
Every one looks sweet.

How long did Robar have your R9?
