Exotic 1911 Holster -- "Exotic" Price
« on: August 10, 2011, 07:52:50 PM »
Since I've decided that I've already exhausted my "exotic" holster budget for the year, here's a link to a Matt Del Fatti holster on e-Bay to whet the appetite of any 1911 devotee who has some money to burn. (It certainly caught my eye as a so-called "old Africa hand".

http://cgi.ebay.com/Del-Fatti-Custom-Holster-ISP-LP-Elephant-w-Hippo-Trim-/110698046221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c61e230d

I have no connection to or knowledge of the seller other than to note his/her/its 100% favorable feedback rating with 268 transactions. Regarding Matt's ISP design, I have one of them for my HKP7 and find it very comfortable for a holster worn inside the pants.

Only Matt can attest as to whether or not the seller paid the $875 originally.  

IMO, pricing has been purely outrageous for exotic holsters in some of the instances I've seen.  But there's a market for everything some people will say.

Yes, some of the prices being asked for exotic custom-made holsters on the secondary market are astonishing. I suppose it's a matter of supply and demand with the offers being directed to those willing to pay for instant gratification. I might liken it to the "scalping" of sold-out concert or game tickets.

The owner of this gun, price probably doesn't matter.  This gun was not part of any raid.

With money like this, price doesn't matter.       ;)



And the owner of this 1911 may not worry about price either.    :D



kj it's not polite to brag, most of us don't have the kind of cash you keep on hand. ;D ;D

Just contact the PGR, PROCURADURIA GENERAL DE LA REPUBLICA, and the Judge Advocate General of the Specialized Investigation in Organized Crime [SIEDO] and maybe they could arrange a transfer of funds.
