One of the many great things about being an American. you can say no.

You have created a company from your idea of a quality and safe holster. Keep it the way you started it and you will be happier when you retire and look back on your achievements.

I wonder if I can fit that in a fortune cookie.

Being that he's "one of us", I'd probably sell it to him...

But then... You are probably liable in some sick way if he DOES shoot himself.

Follow your conscious. Then (unless you have kids like mine) you will sleep at night.

You have to follow your gut in a situation like that. If he couldn't convince you then you were right to say no.

Your business Your decision.

I am sure that he will have a hard time finding someone to make it for him but there is nothing stopping him from buying some leather and making it himself.

He was a nice guy and I probably made him mad. Would you have given him what he wanted even if you thought it wasn't safe?
Here are the details. I'd like to hear your opinions.

Hello Rob.

My grandfather had a saying, "The customer may not always be right. However, without them we are nothing" so its up to you. If you say no than so be it. He'll fill his want somewhere else.

Who's to say that any holster is truly safe on the draw, during retention or re-holstering? Its truly about the user and their understanding. With a behind the back draw it's the same effect of the muzzle crossing the torso.

FWIW.. You made your decision based on your sound judgement stick with it. You did good!

Peace
