and catch a WTS ad right after it gets posted. This happened earlier this week when a friend of mine on the RF posted that he had some holsters to sell. When I went to his ad I saw that while all the holsters were nice, two of them were for guns I have and to top it off, were pretty special, at least to me. One is an older Thad Rybka #120 style rough out holster form several years ago for short barrel single actions like Colts, USFA or mid sized Rugers. With Thad being basically retired, finding one of his pieces is pretty much limited to the resale market. I have four or five of his other holsters but this is the first of this style for me.
The second was made by a person I am not familiar with, Victor, but the fact that it was made for the late Eddie Janis of single action repute made it worth buying in my book. Since I have stayed away from the Colt pool due to the myriad of options, iterations and frequent fakes I never sent anything to Mr. Janis but I know he was highly respected as a gunsmith of the Colt SAA. The seller suggested I give him a call to hear the story on the Janis holster so I will do that in the near future.
