Is the Meco holster a pocket or belt carry? Fantastic delivery.

  It's a front pocket model made of "Armagator" Robert specifically pointed out that while it was real leather, it was not alligator. I told Him that was ok that He and I were too old to be chasing 'gators anyway!

Cool. I have seen the type of leather you mentioned. There is a way to "distress" conventional leather to make it look like alligator.

For the record, (help me out Floridians), there are metric tons of alligators out there. My understanding is that Endangered Species Act turned them into a nuisance. Am I right?

They are still protected somewhat as one has to be licensed by the state in order to be a "trapper" of the nusiance lizards... There is also permits that one can apply for to actually hunt them but it is hard to get one I think. I haven't personnaly tried. I have better things to do than tromp around in a swamp. My days of that crud died when I left military days. Quite tasty critters however!

More info can be found on FWC (Florida Wildlife Commission) website

They should open up a season on iguanas and those Burmese Pythons.

I'm waiting for open season on the Crocogators. Texas rattlesnakes are a bit thin for holsters.

Speaking of which, and with apologies for thread drift, do you all remember this one?

I have two "one off" custom bowie knives that are sheathed in rattlesnake and python, respectively.

To tracker's point, rattlesnake, or any other snake, is not thick enough to stand alone. Instead, the two snake skins are stitched onto the facade of leather sheaths by Treestump Leather in Maine.

I'd rather see a season on politicians....

They "hiss and squeeze" at us just like the two sleazy, slithering critters you mention above.
