James Alan Holsters? Anyone heard of them?

[68mustang]

I'm looking at getting a holster for my Colt 1903. Very few people make one. However, I found a guy through ebay that sells holsters by James Alan. A quick search revealed a facebook page with many other holsters for different weapons. I like the fact that they are suede lined leather inside. Anyone have any experience with them or know anything about them? Here's the holster I'm looking at:

I've never heard of them. How much are they (generally speaking)?

Well, that answers my question. From the title I was curious about the identity of James Allen Holster.

you only want a vegatable tanned leather for a holster. all suedes are chrome tanned and when left in contact with a firearm will cause it to rust. why most holsters are not suede lined. do not store a firearm in a suede lined holster. if just used occasionally it wont hurt. problem with a 1903 is no one makes a dummy gun to mold the holster with . email me and i may be able to help you

Thanks oldkar.
So are the unfinished on the inside or what?

This holster is going for $65

most holster makers coat the inside of their holsters with gum tragacanth to smooth and seal the inside , it leaves a smooth finish that is not abrasive and not porus so the leather cant trap dirt and scratch your weapon. i would assume you have a 68 mustang, i am starting my second rebuild on a 66

OK cool definitely something to look out for thanks. Do you make custom holsters yourself? Yea I have a 68. Just a complete DD really. PM me more about the 66. Where in okc are you located?
