I just wanted to say hey to all of the XD guys out there. Im Eric Larsen and a holster maker. I had an HS2000 that I bought for 200 $ years ago but sold it when I couldnt even get mags for it.........boo hiss...ya I know.
Anyway. I make tons of XD holsters and just wanted to tell you guys you have a very very good forum.
As an ex ADMIN on the CZForum....I know what it takes to make it work.
Congrats to you all .........keep it up.

Shoot well..............thanks for having me.

Are you interested in getting an XD or are you just hoping this post will get some business for you?

Hmmm. Neither actually.......Ive heard good things from my Customers about this forum and thought Id check it out and say hi.

Ive had an HS and it was a great gun but arent in the market for one currently.

Im also busy enough I dont need to try and get more business this way...I let my customers spread the word that way.

Nice reception.......is the entire forum this warm or just you?

Shoot well............

Hi Eric!
Welcome aboard. Yeah, we have a nice, friendly place here; lots of helpful people and a fair amount of humor as well. Stick around, it only gets better. (and it doesn't take 2 hours to read thru the new posts like at THR).

::drool::

 

[Eric Larsen]

Hey Gary......thanks, its nice to be here.
And sorry...........TASF...no free holsters. Doesnt hurt to ask though.
Shoot well.......

 

[[TASF]Overkill]

Even if I promise to do one of my patented thorough reviews on it?

No?

Dang.

My bad. I didn't realize simple questions were considered "cold."

Welcome to hs2000talk.

I know you didn't come here for free advertising, but I'd love to see one of your holsters. Please feel free to pm or email me a pic and price guide.

Welcome aboard Eric. Great forum, but a sense of humor is needed - regularly. Great bunch of folks here!
Nice looking leather goods by the way :!:

 

[one-eyed-fatman]

Another freebe AD dude. No thanks. I only buy from advertisers who buy AD space from the forum and contribute to the forum.

 

[Mongoose17]

c'mon one-eyed. It doesn't sound like he's trying to peddle his wares and all he did was say HI. Lets give a guy a break and not make him feel unwelcome just because he sells a product and doesn't advertise here. I mean, he turned down overkills offer!! If he doesn't want a review from the most naked guy on the forum, he really must not need the business.

Welcome Eric!

 

[one-eyed-fatman]

Shame on me. I forgot to say welcome.

 

[Eric Larsen]

Hey guys....just to really clarify....Im not a sponge, squid or seeker of anything free. I pay to advertise on some forums...others I just hang out in and answer questions and basically 'am a member".

Ive been on TFL and the CZForum forever...The High Road, Pistolsmith.....As an ex Moderator/Adminstrator of the CZForum...I understand that the "new guy" may be under suspicion especially being someone in the trades.....but you have my word.....thats not my thing.

Thanks for the comments on the leather.....I try my best to make them look good and function better...... Naked guy...I didnt know you had a patented
way of reviewing, interesting.

I appreciate the welcome and love the guns. Im just a CZHead by nature but love the XD's .....3 of my best freinds carry them and its one of my wifes favorite guns also.

Again thanks for the welcome......Ill check in now and then.
Shoot well......Eric

I must admit, when I first read his post, my initial thoughts were negative. But re-reading his post, he didn't link to his site or email, nor did he solicit any sales, so I believe him when he says he is basically "a member."

Welcome Eric.

Guys, as an avid reader of this forum, who doesn't post much, take this for what it's worth.

Eric shoots my XD probably just as much as some XD owners shoot their own. He doesn't need to come here for free advertising. He has enough holster orders to keep him busy for a long time. If he tells you this is a good forum, it is a very nice compliment. He has been around gun forums for years and is a good guy to have around. He is a friend of mine and knows a lot about many different guns.

He can be an asset to this forum whether anybody buys a holster from him or not.
