new Guy here - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

S. Caldwell · 02-22-2007, 09:08 AM

Hello . I am new here . I am a Criminal Investigator for a Sheriffs Office in Southern Mo. . I spent 8 years at Rafter S Gunleather leavving there in Oct 06 . Since then I have started a small business of my own Holster , belts and mag pouchs . I sell through E bay stores under " Caldwell Gunleather " if anyone is interested as that allows me to make stuff at my leisure rather than being covered up to where I dont have family time . I dont have a website . I am an XD fan having carried the older version the HS 2000 and loving it . I carry also a Hi-power and a 1991 colt 45 .

I am an avid outdoorsman , love to bowhunt , gunhunt , ride atvs , streetbikes , run my dogs ( jack-rat terriers on rats in brushpiles its a blast ) love shooting and about anything that gets me in the woods .
Been in Law Enforcement for 16 years at the same job which is rare here I tell you . Left Rafter S so I could devote more time to my family but I love building Holsters almost more than I like making money off them so I started my own deal . I know thats strange sounding but I love working in the leather . Hope to visit more with everyone in the future . I wont toot my own horn anymore as I bet there are Holster makers that advertise here .

Just realized I was on here back in 2001 and I used the same name minus the . Thats strange . I been more into my Motorcycle for the past few years but am really getting anxious to get a new XD with a tac light rail. I am thinking about a 45 compact model as it is my favorite caliber and it would work for me both in plainclothes and uniform when I have to do that part with the mage extension . Anyway thanks for the welcome back I guess .
