Wow, makes me feel good about the ones I have. He’s not retired so I’m like ya’ll, why the high price?

When I want to spend $300 on a holster, my money goes to Doc Barranti.

Retired was my impression, his work is at the upper level, he is an old school master. Like Bowen, Linebaugh, Stroh, and Clements, the younger or newer makers make good guns of equal quality but they are not Bowen, Linebaugh, Stroh or Clements, Thad Rybka is the same on leather.

Right before John G died I asked him to check with Thad about making me another holster snd he told John he was fine except for family. Luckily John had one of Thad’s on hand and let me buy it.

I sent Thad a letter several months ago requesting that he make a holster for the Gallagher custom Ruger that I had purchased from John. I sent photos with the letter clearly showing the Gallagher stamp on the Ruger. He made the holster with his Gallagher stamp. So, it doesn't hurt to send a letter telling him what you want him to make. If he wants to accept the work, he'll send you the order form  |

I ordered two Rhodesians maybe three month’s ago after I heard he’d retired.
Like was said above, send him a letter asking for an order form, I’m guessing he’s still turning out some fine leather work.

Thad's holsters are the original Rhodesians. However there are folks out there making clones; Erik Little (Rafter-L) and Rob Hipp to name a couple. Back in the '90s there was a fellow in Marietta, OH named Mike Richter who made an outstanding Rhodesian clone.
How much did the Ebay offering sell for? #300?
