Title: K&D Holsters Has Left The House
Post by: K-Man on June 01, 2005, 02:59:37 PM
At K&D Holsters, effective today, I will not be accepting any new orders for the R9/S.  All pending orders will be filled as requested.  All previous holsters made will still be covered by our warranty policy.  Thank you.

The first thing that pops into our heads is why?  :o Are you selling off your Rohrbaugh? :'(

Justin2992:

I've only had a "dummy" version of the R9S, so really have only been an "honorary" member of the forum.  ;D    

Circumstances have developed over a period of time that, I feel, necessitated this decision.  Thanks for asking though.

I'll still cruise through now and again to see what's happening on the Rohrbaugh block.  ;)

Actually, Chris_S, I was trying to be politically correct in my response to Justin2992.  :D

Okay - let's put it this way - it was a matter of principle.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  ;D

A matter of principle?!?  You are ethically opposed to Rohrbaughs?  To Rohrbaugh users?  Huh?

Chris_S:

It appears that my responses/answers are not satisfying your inquisitiveness.   :P  Revealing/explaining my reasons beyond what's already been stated here serves no purpose, and as such, I will not.  

Thanks for your interest, and thanks again to all for the opportunity to make the holsters for you.

Ummm...Okay....

You gonna run for political office soon?  You are GREAT at saying something that really is saying nothing...

So you're still in the holster business...........just not the Rohrbaugh holster business???

No, Chris_S, I have no intention of running for political office.  Can I count on your vote if I do though? ;)  I thought that my response, "Revealing/explaining my reasons beyond what's already been stated here serves no purpose, and as such, I will not," was pretty straightforward.  Really don't know what else to add to that that will make it clearer.

Sharp, I'm just thinning the guns I make holsters for.  For example, I'm no longer making holsters for all of the CZ guns I had listed, except the RAMI.  There will be a few others that make the cut as well over the next week or so, with the list being updated at that time.

I think what people are wondering is: did something
tick you off or not? it doesn't matter what it is, nor
was it necessary for you to sign off on this forum.

Would you be interested in selling/trading/giving me the dummy gun you have?    I can put it to good use...

RJ:

Sorry, you snooze, you lose.  :P It's been sold to another holster maker.

I appreciate the forum’s interest in why I’ve made the decision to no longer offer holsters for the R9/S.  I have no intention of “signing off” on this forum (of course, DDGator may be ready to pull the plug on me  ;D ).  There are other items that I offer that may be of interest to the members, as well as some in current development that I will hopefully be able to offer in the near future.  Suffice it to say, the primary reason was to improve the “health” of the company overall as it continues to grow and explore other opportunities.

I guess I will have to make out with the three I have.

Thanks for the response, and good luck with your new endeavors..

Three – does that include your genuine version?  You must be making more than one or two a month for the R9/S then.  ;D   I know I have multiples of the most popular choices of guns for the holsters.  Obviously gets them out to the customer that much sooner than if you only had one to work with.

Amazing how quick Hedley got my holster out...

Thanks Chis,    and that was not the only one for the month.. ::)


[I have two more dummy guns on the way, as of 5/8..
That makes five holster pattern guns,
 for those keepin' track..]

Thank you for your interesting response, Mr. Hedley, as it does not go unnoticed.

However, I wish you continued success in your holster-making business.
