Wait Time for Barranti Leather

[redberens]

Good afternoon. I was just wondering if anyone knows about how long the wait time is for Barranti Leather? I ordered a Border Ranger and matching dbl magazine pouch stamped with basketweave for my Super .38 back in April. Now that we're at 10 months, I was just wondering if I'm getting close. I don't want to be 'that guy' who calls and pesters the maker. I know every phone call takes him away from his work, so I was hoping someone here might be able to give me an idea of how long it'll be. Thank you

I'm at the 1 year mark for mine, quality can't be rushed.

I ordered in April or so as well and got an email saying to expect next week.

I ordered December 2016. Just got it this past week.

Well, the real trick is to order one every month, or even every couple months. The wait gets a lot shorter that way!

I ordered February 2017, I just emailed Mike and he said my order is coming up for carving soon.

Exactly. Keep several on the list and something is always showing up!

Sir, you have life figured out! Best idea I've heard all week. Thank you, I appreciate your comments. I'll expect a couple more months, and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

It will be! All kidding aside, I ordered my first rig from Mike in 2008. I keep some on order at all times. Over the years I have accumulated an awesome collection of Mikes work. Every one of them I’ve been thrilled with and I wear one of his rigs daily. The model changes depending on attire and choice of handgun, but I have at least one on me every day. I have been going to get the daily carry rigs all together and get a picture of them and just haven’t done it. I need to do that soon. They just seem to get better with age! Make sure to post pics when your rig arrives!

I should add: I don't mind the wait, and I've found Mike to be prompt and thorough in responding to inquiries--one reason (among many, the quality of Mike's work first and foremost) why I don't mind the wait.

He's already read your first post. Now you're "that guy"! This coming from an impatient man (me)

It will exceed

While I wait for a custom holster from Doc I buy a direct line holster from his store to use. If it’s duplicated by the custom, it’s easily sold in this crowd.

I'm thinking about ordering my first from him shortly, not really a big fan of the fancy ones, probably be one of the plainer models, just want to try one out, usually get my leather from a certain big feller in AZ and have liked all of them, don't hurt to try others though!

Don't overlook the possibility he might have what you're seeking in stock.

Wasted bunch of time trying to decide what to order for my 69, decided on a hank sloan with a hammered finish and big bear track. He had just put one just like i wanted into his online store. Got lucky!

Well now you guys got my interest piqued so I'll just use the googler to look at his "stuff".
