anyone have that info..it would seem a natural.. NO BUT THEY MARKETED SOME FROM HOLSTER MAKERS INCLUDING ARVO. WHY WOULD IT BE A NATURAL? JUST BECAUSE THEY MAKE GREAT SINGLE ACTIONS AND SEMI-AUTOS DOESN'T MEAN THEY WOULD KNOW DIDDLEY SQUAT ABOUT LEATHER. |

As John said, they cataloged holsters in the late 1950s, early 60s, but they were not made in-house. They sold the Ojala Fast Draw rig, which had a special maker's mark of the serpentine Colt inside a circle with "Designed by Arvo Ojala" around the outside. Arvo always had an "in" with Colt.

YES THEY WERE COLT-LOGO'ED. YOU DIDN'T SAY THEY SHOULD "MARKET" BUT RATHER "MAKE". THEY WEREN'T SMART ENOUGH TO MARKET QUALITY LEATHER NOT TRY TO MANUFACTURE IT.
