Alternative to Simply Rugged

Post by pullnshoot25 »

Well, Rob isn't offering any other color except Oxblood anymore and my entire holster lineup (4 holsters, belt, speedloader pouch, Most Versatile pouch and double magazine holder) is in black. I still want to get my Ruger MK II suited up and I just sent him an email to drop cash on a Chesty Puller in black (if he has any left)

Any ideas? I love his holsters but I really really don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe for my guns.

I wasn't aware of that, has he given a reason like lack of demand? Demand should make him buy the dye(s) and offer the product again.

I have to say that I only ever buy oxblood. That color is or is close to my favorite.
Sincerely,

Yeah, I just got his newsletter too. I will be getting a couple skinning knives in this month which along
with another knife will be going up to get matching sheaths made. Good news is the $300 I already spent
in in an oxblood setup. Bad news is I want to ge one of his new Pocket holsters, but wasn't wanting it in
oxblood (this will be a gift) so I will be talking to them soon as well.

I think that what they may have meant on the newsletter is that they would only stock items in oxblood
because I don't think it means they won't dye an order a different color (would seem strange) just that
they are getting caught up and want to simplify stocking.

Well, I got in under the wire for a holster in black for my Ruger MKII 5" and I got one of the last black Chesty Puller rigs so I am set. I guess from now on I will just order oxblood. Does an oxblood holster and a black belt go together?
