    Hi donald
    I just recieved my holster on thursday.
    I am very pleased with it and it works and feels great. My PPK fits very good in.My next test with will be to put it though a running jumping and speed of removing gun from holster.
    Your people did an excellent job on making it.

    Pul & Alfredo,

    Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you like the holster. As you may have seen in another post, I'm working on the Dr. No version. I can't wait to get the prototype.

    I certainly would be interested in purchasing such a holster. I have look for that style for quite some time with no sucess. The closest one I could find was one developed for the Markaov.

    Please get back to me with the details.

    Welcome to the board, Mike. Yes, I've gone down that same route, searching on eBay using the words, "blue" and "shoulder holster" (and I've come across the Makarov holster a few times), gun auction sites and online classified adds, searches on the usenet forums, etc. As mentioned, it was this search that lead me to this board. It was only after this futile search did I realize that the Connery holster was never mass-produced, and that having one required it to be custom-made and thankfully someone like Donald Grant rose up for the challenge.

    I certainly would be interested in the holster if it is a faithful reproduction to the original. E-mail with the details..mikec45295@aol.com

    At this time, all I can Provide is the Dr. No version of the holster. It's about as faithfull as anyone can get from pictures and stills.

    Your "Connery-Style Holster" is very interesting...are you having a holster manufacturer make this holster?

    Hello Mr Grant. I PM'd you recently about sending payment but I don't think it went through for some reason. I'll try again in a few days, thanks.

    At present, only the GF style holster is available. One of the materials to make it is notoriously hard to find. I have enough to make 3 medium holsters or one large and one medium holster. Once they are spoken for that will be it until I find the hard to source material. I am always looking, however there are no guaranties that I will be able to find it.

    So have the remaining holsters been spoken for yet. If not, I think I might be interested in the medium. Would you be able to put a link or post a pic in your reply to this message. Thanks very much for your time.

    I pm'd you, but I'm down to my last bit of materials and won't be making it again until I can find one key material. So far, no luck. I am working on the OHMSS style though.
