Model: PB2

Hi Bob:

 My 10-year-old PB2 black belt is separating where the two laminate pieces where sewed together - the stitching has worn through.  First, this is not a complaint.  I love the belt and it has served me well for a decade of being worn almost daily in some tough conditions.  I recall that when I bought it from you, your shop was still in Canada!  I would have gone through 10 other non-Mernickle belts in the time it took this PB2 to show its age.

My question is this:  Do you suggest I send you the belt for repair or is it a better option to send you the belt and have you make me an identical replacement.  The leather seems to be in good shape, although the black dye has worn off in sections.  One thing I really like about the belt is its thickness. 

 I intend to pay for either the repair or the replacement.

Thanks!

Model: FD7

Hi Bob & Sherrie,

Best decision I ever made was ordering the FD7 from Mernickle Holsters!  I started shooting Fast Draw in August of 2007. After trying rigs from other shooters I decided in September 2007 to order an FD7 from you.  Sherrie, you were a great help with getting just what I wanted.

After I placed the order I decided to go to my first competition!  I thought that my rig may not be in in time so I called you and explained my situation.   You worked it out and got it to me the week before and I had time to practice with it. 

WOW!!!  What a difference it made. I was shooting in the high .400's before I received it and right away was shooting in the low .400's. I even was able to shoot my fastest time to that date at the competition with a .380 at 8 foot and place 12th the second day!  After practicing the past 3 months I can now shoot in the mid and high .300's up to 10 and 12 foot range!

Your workmanship is the BEST and your FD7 is everything you say it is and more. I will recommend Mernickle Holsters to anyone and the FD7 for a great Fastdraw rig.

 Thanks  sincerely,

Johnny Perry

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Mernickle,

 I received my HW3 two gun rig the day before my 53rd birthday.  To say the least this is the birthday present I’ve wanted since I was a kid watching Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger.  I’ve wanted a two gun rig ever since those days and it’s only taken me 45 years to get exactly what I’ve dreamed of.  I can not tell you how please I am with this outfit.  It’s no wonder you’re the standard by which others are judged.  Everyone I’ve shown this rig to is totally and rightfully impressed with the quality and the look.  I guess I made a pretty good choice on where to buy and what to get.  I truly look forward to doing more business in the future.  Let’s just hope it won’t take me another 45 years.

 Thanks once again,

Hey guys! Your holster's seem to be the answer to my problems and for that you guys completely KICK ASS!

My question though is this... I am about to turn 21 (woo hoo!) and I want to buy myself a Taurus Ultralite 444 .44Mag revolver and as such, I want a good holster. I enjoy hiking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding and other outdoor activities and I need a holster that will stick with me and not slap around, even if I want to do jumping jacks, run through the woods, or any other number lighthearted activities. Do you guys make a holster for this weapon? What kind of holster do you recommend? I also plan to apply for my CCW permit (I live in Kali, so my fingers are crossed!) so I might end up buying another holster to suit my concealment needs.

I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for being cool!

 I'm just glad  you  were not building belts back in the sixty's and early seventy's. My dad would have had one and I would have been on the receiving end of it... haha ..no time out around

 I do want to ask one question, can I use the hw14 on any of the cowboy shoots. ssa or any.. I am just starting to learn about the cowboy shooting . do you know of any type shoots in Alabama.

PS:

You may use the letter and again thank you for  the leather goods that you are selling. I work at Academy Sports in the Birmingham Area. We have a hundred stores nation wide. Anyone that comes to the gun counter and ask about  real leather holsters and belts, guess who I have been talking about..... I have been in the sporting goods and law enforcement field for over 30 years. Your leather is by far the best on the market. The only other leather that was close is the OLD BIANCHI  when John worked out of his house in the early 70's and I was a Birmingham Police Officer.

Again Thank You

Need to know if the PS 6 is available for the Smith & Wesson M&P .40............ I have one for my Kimber that I found at a show in Iowa for 5 bucks.... It was well used but I took it to an old time shoe guy and it looks brand new... I was not familiar with your holsters until now... The 81 year old shoe store guy said This was some fine leather work and I have to agree!!!!!!!!!  So if you dont make the PS 6 for my M&P I will have to settle for MUCH less......... Thanks, John

Hi Bob, here is a pic of me and my 8 month old son, I'm wearing your shoulder holster with my 4.25" Ruger SRH 454 Casull the loads you see are Beartooth 405gr WLNGC's that give a 1330fps in this gun and 1500fps in my 7.5" gun. Oh the 7.5" works in this holster as well the barrel just sticks out a bit.

If you look at the cross belt you will see that I have your 6 round belt holder which is only a 1 1/2" belt slot on located exactly were I want the speed loader pouch to hang. So I was thinking on the replacement belt that I ordered we had settled on 6" of 2" belt if you haven't already cut the belt could you make it 8" of 2" instead then taper down to the 3/4".

I am extremely happy with the rig and as you can see I have it hanging fairly low which is perfect for what I do.

If I were to put waders on I would adjust the holster to hang higher up on my chest.

Thanks again for everything,

Hi,

Last year at the Maine State CAS Championship I was wearing another big name companies holster's, my holster's failed to hold my gun securely. This could have been partly my fault for " hopping" from one side of the stage to the other. But nonetheless my pistol was never very secure in those holster's. Friend's told me to try out there holster's, Mernickle rig's specifically  an Evil Roy Rig. I tried them, I hopped around and my gun's never moved. I ordered the holster's and have used them this year with good success. I also won the Maine State CAS Championship Sept. 30 2007! Thank you Mernickle! This win was a true shock to me I really was not expecting a win I was just hoping to do well. I did. Thank you all again!! I never had to worry about my guns in the new holster's, they where secure at all time's.

Model: PS2SA (PS2 REF4)

To all at Mernickle Holsters:

I am so pleased with my new PS2 REF4 IWB concealment holster, I do not know how to thank you appropriately.

Let me begin by saying that as soon as I opened it up, I was astounded to see that this concealable holster is made and finished as well as any holster I have for "open" carry. And I have them all. I collect western holsters for my many Single Action Colts,(all barrel lengths, including a buntline 12 incher), Schofields,( 3 barrel lengths) sheriff models, derringers and pocket pistols. Plus a boatload of automatics.

The next thing, as I slipped my Colt 45 into the holster, the fit was like it was spray painted on. In other words, perfect. 

Next, I tried it on my belt and it rides like it's not even there. I got it two days ago and have worn it all day at the office both days. It is on right now. (My company officers see nothing wrong in wearing your iron to work) I'm very lucky in that regard.

Also, the delivery of only three weeks was wonderful.

Again, I want to thank you for a wonderful product and timely delivery.

Happy Birthday to me!!!! Yeah!!!!!!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to compliment your work on this holster and ammo carrier. In a word, they are beautiful. When I first opened the box (which came about 2 weeks earlier than I anticipated), I was very impressed. This initial impression carried through when I put the holster on. It must be the most comfortable holster I've ever  worn.

Even my wife, who has never taken an interest in holsters before,  commented on the detail and workmanship. She has asked why I've never  ordered from you before and has suggested I order a rig for my 1911s. I will have to take her up on that soon.

Thanks again for the quick service and excellent product.

Hello,

I have been meaning to get this out sooner to you but you know how life is.  I ordered a shotgun belt from you folks back in march on short notice for our annual shoot in April.  I am greatly impressed with the quality of the belt and the customer service I recieved.  Boothill Bandit (Jake Jacobs) told me to call you and I'm glad I did.  I think I called and placed my order with I think 5 weeks to the shoot.  I was told you would do your best on such short notice to get it to me.  I called again with about 2 weeks to the shoot and found my order hadn't been pulled yet,  I was nervous at that point but was told my order would be pushed.  I received the belt a few days before the shoot and am completely satisfied.  GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP!  Thank You.  beautiful fit and finish.  I will be ordering my next gun belt from you guys.  Thank you also for sponsorship of the Ft Dalles Defenders Annual Shoot.  I look forward to meeting you folks down the trail somewhere.

I received the PS6 holster with accompanying belt and dual mag holder  recently. I was greatly impressed with the quality. The holster and  belt are very attractive and the fit excellent. Though sturdy, the  belt was comfortable for wear almost instantly. The holster retains its charge securely (and did so during a very bumpy ATV ride) and also facilitates a quick, smooth draw. I am extremely pleased with both the quality of your work and your customer service.

I ordered your PS6DA holster, belt and speed loader package during  March of 2007.

Your ordering department was absolutely wonderful to deal with, very pleasant, and the staff's overall attention to detail to ensure an accurate product speaks volumes towards Mernickle's professionalism.

I felt like a child during Christmas when I received the PS system and was extremely pleased with the excellent quality and workmanship.  The local IDPA club I shoot at had nothing but high praise for the holster, belt and speed loader carrier and I have noticed decreased times in weapon availability and reloading.

I had to email you about this:  

You made me a PS6 for my HK USP Compact 45. I like the holster and have always thought it was well made. But I was going to purchase an additional holster because I wanted a level of retention, like a kydex modeled holster or a holster with a snap. Not anymore, I was just in a motorcycle accident (two hours ago). A car pulled out in front of me, I broadsided the car and I flew over the car, landing at least 15 feet away. My brand new HD Super Glide is totaled and I'm banged up, but my HK stayed in the holster. It's one of the first things I thought of when I stood up and checked myself for broken bones. Good holster. This is a true story. There was a witness and there is an accident report to prove it.

This is the most beautiful holster I have ever handled, or even seen up close, but I never paid attention to who produced the holster. On a whim last night, as I was filling out my order form for you, I pulled that holster out of the closet and look it over. Low and be hold it is a Mernickle Holster!!!

Dear Mernickle's Team,

First, when I called to place my order I was taken aback at how helpful and nice your staff is. It was truly a pleasure to speak with you all.  Second, the product that I ordered arrived exactly when I was told it  would, again a pleasant surprise. Third, I opened the box to find the finest example of leather I have  ever seen. My PS6-SA holster and PB1 belt are exceptional in both craftsmanship and function. To say it fits like a glove does not do it  justice.

To sum up, you were polite when I called, kept your word and delivered on time and gave me a product that exceeded my expectations. You should be very proud.

Hi Bob, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received my PS6YS REF1 & PS7-DA REF1, last week. One word "UNBELIEVABLE" I have carried firearms since 1991, & have had many holsters, some were even so called "custom" holsters, but your's are by far the best of the best, I have been wearing the PS6YS system since the day it arrived. It amazes me, carrying a full size Kimber 1911 .45, & I can hardly feel the weight of the gun, it conceals so easily, even with a light jacket on, & the draw is as smooth as smooth can be, but retention of the gun is great. This holster/belt/mag carrier combo has exceeded my expectations, I'll be ordering again, soon. The other "custom" holsters I have are being retired, they no longer cut the mustard. You have another friend for life. Again Thank You.

To Mernickle Custom Holsters,

I recently ordered a PS6 custom made for a Springfield TRP Operator. I received my order last night. I couldn't possibly be happier. This is the best holster I've ever used for a 1911. The fit to the gun is flawless and the quality is outstanding. When I tried it on I was simply amazed at it's comfort and how well it fit. As you probably know the TRP Operator is very heavy for a 1911. The PS6 is one of the few, true, high ride concealed holsters out there. Not only does it fit well, conceal well but it also makes it much more pleasant to carry heavier sidearms. I immediately noticed the better distribution of weight  compared to other holsters I own for the same gun. Since I began communication with the Mernickle Company I've been given great customer service, I even received my order about a week earlier than anticipated. I will recommend Mernickle Holsters to everyone in my shooting circle.  

Thank you for ending my quest to find a holster I agree with. You are truly a master craftsman in this trade.

I bought of your SH9's for my Colts 2 yearsago and I'm still bananas about it.I had never imagined it would be as comfortable and concealable as it is.Now when I think holster,I think Mernickle!

Have a fantastic holiday and thanks,

Joe Vogler

Bob,

My FC2 arrived yesterday, unexpectedly early!

I love it! The mahogany brown color is gorgeous, and really complements the gun. Is there anything I should do to help break it in? Should I beeswax the contact points? Clearly I'm going to need a more substantial belt.

Here's a pic in the fading sunlight (I'm sure you've seen thousands). Thanks!!

Hi Bob:

Just a note to let you know that my new Mernickle PS6DA arrived on the day you told me. You must know the magic words to get UPS to jump and run.

As before, my latest Mernickle conceal-carry holster was beautifully finished and exactly what I expected. My Ruger SP101 fit perfectly the first time. Not too snug, just the right amount of light tension to keep my CCW in place but easy to draw.

Thanks again for your personal attention and my thanks to the folks who consistently turn out a great product.

I´ve got my  HW3 belt on the 27 of September. It´s great and I really like the style, the quality and the workmanship. My Colt fit perfectly in the rig, and  the rig on me is great.  I also appreciate the great service and friendly correspondence on the mail.

 I think there will more occasions for me to order another holsters for my other guns in the future.

Thank you very much.

I just received my holster, belt & speed loader today.  It has to be best looking set I have ever seen, great job.  This is the first holster I have owned that I did not have form fit it to the gun by soaking it in water and letting it dry with the gun in it.

Again, gold stars, brownie points and atta-boys for your craftsmen.    I have been shooting IDPA, USPSA & SASS for years and have bought both kydex and leather holsters.  As I stated yours is the only leather holster that I did not have to form to my gun.  You have a customer for life.

Bob, I can not thank you enough for the card and Picture, I have the card hanging in our common area so that all of 2nd Platoon can read it.

The holster is beyond anything I had expected, fine craftsmanship and the most comfortable rig I have ever worn. My last holster was held together with 5-50 cord as my daily duties are tough on any gear. My new Mernikle holster looks to stand up better than any thing I have ever worn, and in this desert combat environment,  there could not be a tougher test.

Thank you again and my best wishes to you and your family, we all thank you for your support.

Hi Bob and Sherrie,

 I received my four dress belts thanks very much! This is my second order with you and i would like to thank you Bob, Sherrie and your team at Mernickle Custom Holsters for such personal service and top quality belts. I got the Gun Fighter Stitch, Ranger Style Fully Carved, the Accent Carved and the Exotic Inlay. 

The belts truned out even better in real life than the pictures on your website and i was stunned just how much carving goes into the Accent and especially the Ranger Style. The design of the belts Bob fits perfectly and the Carving is out of this world! The Gun Fighter stitch is so eye-catching and intricate. I asked you Bob for a custom Exotic Inlay arrangement and you did it brilliantly. I really am a very satisfied customer! Looking forward to working with you on more custom belts and rigs.

 Thanks again,

Bob - Just wanted to thank you guys for such an outstanding job. I ordered a FC567 holster and magazine pouch about three years ago for duty wear in Iraq and Afghanistan, configured for the standard issue Baretta. I would like to report that not only has it stood the test of time (I wore it daily for almost two years) it REALLY worked the couple of  times I had to "use" it. The draw and release was smooth and confident. Since I am still here to write this, clearly, this is a very fine "working mans" holster. It still looks great although well worn - nothing a little shoe polish won't fix. When I go back again this fall you can bet I will be wearing it!

I received the HW3 and matching dress belt and i have to say they're works of art!! I could stick a frame on 'em and hang 'em in an Art Gallery! The qualiity is incredible and so detailed, your design for the HW3 rig fits perfectly and is top class. I must mention the carving also since it's absolutely stunning. The whole rig looks and feels beautiful, i can't emphasise how good it is now i've got one after seeing the examples on your website.

Can i just thank you Bob and Sherrie and your family, your skilled carver and all your staff at Mernickle Custom Holster... Bob you're the best in the business!!

The holster's fit, finish, retention, and comfort are perfect. This feat is even more impressive because you did not have a Beretta Model 85 to work from. Thank you so much for making with wonderful, custom holster for me. Now I need to ask you for single mag holder for my Beretta.

I've enclosed two pics- I am really pleased with the service and quality. There's an N frame Smith & Wesson under that Hawaiian shirt! I'll be ordering one for my 3" S&W 66 soon.

Subject: even a mixup is good
 
When I ordered my third holster from you, I wanted a PS8, the metal-lined paddle model. Returning from a trip, I found the order had arrived, but it was a PS6 with the tab behind the belt.  Must have been an error somewhere, but I'm going to just keep it.  I think you could send me one for the wrong gun, and I'd have to buy one to fit it. Have never carried a 1911 so comfortably. Thanks once more for your fine design and  raftsmanship.

They are absolutely the best looking and best fitting holsters I have ever owned.

You have made me a loyal customer with my first order and you will be receiving additional orders from me in the future.

Today, I received my holster/mag holder for my Star Model BM and fits the gun and magazine perfectly.  If anyone else wants a high quality custom holster for their Star model BM, you can tell them you have a very satisfied customer that ordered one.  I think I have 8 or 9 of your holsters now and all of them are top quality and fit the guns I ordered them for very well.

Thanks for the fine products you offer and the excellent customer service.

Just want to thank you for doing such a beautiful job on the Holy Terror Rig that I ordered. The fit is perfect and I am really glad that I had you put the extra ammo on the holsters. The concho's would have really been pretty....but the ammo is alot more practical for reloading. I have received numerous complements on the rig and they all want to know who made it.

Hi Sherrie and Bob.

Recently got my PS4-2 for my Smith 342 Snubby and love it. The most comfortable and concealable holster I have ever worn for this gun. As usual your attention to quality and detail is unsurpassed by anything else in the industry. I’m thinking of even selling your holsters in my wine shop if you’d like. What a concept, pick up a bottle of Cabernet and a rig! One stop shopping. By the way do you make any pocket holsters? I have a .32 Seecamp that would love to be in a Mernickle.

Take care,

Bob and Family,
Received the PS6 and belt combo. It is a good quality set up and I like the design. The commander size 1911 is more concealed than my previous holster and there is no slop. The pistol is held firmly, but not too tight. It is easier to draw than I thought it would be and it is not in the way when seated. Thank you and your family for the good work and helping me decide which set up was best.

Take care,

This is to let you know I received the excellent Evil Roy Rig .


Needless to say I was very happy and pleased when it came. I know this was your donation to Winter Range's Prize draw. I for one am grateful that sponsors like you do donate these prizes.

I was the winner of this Prize and I expect the quality and workmanship that goes into all Mernickle holsters is as well made as my holster rig you should be proud of all the products you sell. The fit and function is perfect ,the color, design and stitching is superb. I'll use it for years to come.

Even though I was the recipient of this rig when I need another or a holster for someone in my family I will consider Mernickle Custom Holsters first and foremost.

Thanks Again for a Great Holster Rig and the Fast courteous Service

Happened to catch you one one of the gun shows a while back, GunTec, or Shooting Gallery. Told my wife to come see the guy who builds my holsters. Her comment was, "He's got more hair than you do". Glad to see you got the exposure.
