Yes, the folks are talking about the Silent Thunder again. It’s a great holster and people just love it.

Here’s a post from the Defensive Carry Forum on the Silent Thunder Champion belt holster with some great pics.

Lead times are shrinking now.  Less than a month to ship Silent Thunder holsters.

The new Ruger LCR 5-shot revolver is getting a lot of attention from gun-owners and from Tucker Gunleather.

We’re making a pocket holster, a pancake holster and a Cover Up IWB for the LCR. Available for order NOW.

The LCR is a 13.5 ounce, small-framed revolver with a polymer fire control housing, an aircraft quality aluminum monolithic frame

with synergistic hard coat, an extensively fluted stainless steel cylinder, and a uniquely engineered double-action trigger.

Not much according to recent study in Blacksburg VA. Check it out here.

Hey, did you order your pancakes this morning? No syrup – just secure carry  with a proven design.

Want an “Answer” fast? A Tucker Gunleather Answer IWB?

How about a two-week turnaround? We’ve added new manufacturing capacity for the Answer.

Right now, if you want an Answer IWB and you have any kind of 1911, XD, XDm or 9mm/.40/.357 Glock, we’ll get it to you in TWO WEEKS.

We’ll be adding more to the “Two-week list” as we go. Stay tuned for more.

Lead times will get better and better, faster and faster.

Meanwhile, get yourself a “fast Answer.” (Regular or Leather-lined.)

The Tucker Answer is the most talked-about, notably comfortable IWB you can buy.

I get many requests for us to build holsters for guns with lights attached. We make special versions of our Silent Thunder leather-lined holsters for some gun/light combinations, but usually for LEO’s or military use.

There are so many combinations of guns/lights/lasers that we don’t plan to keep up with all of them. In addition, for the average civilian, based on our own training and experience, we see a holstered firearm as a rapid-response, reactive tool. Lights and lasers might slow you down if you have no warning of an armed confrontation.

My training as a Naval Aviator, flight instructor, carrier pilot tells me to keep things simple.

I disagree with carrying a holstered gun with a light attached “just in case” because it complicates rapid response by adding in another decision to be made.

I know, you’re a grown-up and you’re going to do whatever you choose to do, and you have good reasons why you carry what you carry. So, we’ll disagree sometimes.

Here’s a tactical flashlight that has caught my attention. This may be a better choice than mounting a light on the accessory rails of your prized pistol for home defense.

One advantage is that you can illuminate the scene without pointing a loaded firearm at someone who may not be a threat.

Here’s the Manual.  Here’s a customer Review.

The new Silent Thunder Paddle Mount option is a major improvement.

It’ll make you throw rocks at all the paddles that don’t work.

Yes, it allows easy access to the mounting screws and allows for all the cant adjustment you’ll ever need.

Yes, it mounts on your belt easily and comes off in a jiffy.

But, that’s not why you’ll love it………Find out more in the next post.

You may have been hearing stories that 90% of the guns used in the Mexican drug wars have come from the U.S.

You may have heard that’s another reason to re-institute more restrictions on gun sales.

The story is just NOT TRUE. It ain’t so.

Fox News has this report.

Today’s email brought a thank you and review on a recent arrival of a new Tucker Texas Heritage IWB.

The customer’s experience exactly describes the intention of the design of the holster.

It’s great that he noticed/felt exactly what Tucker set out to accomplish with this holster.

“Rob,

I finally received my carry permit a week or so ago, and have now had a chance to wear my Texas Heritage holster with my XD 40 Sub-compact.  I am really amazed at how comfortable it is to wear and how well a tucked shirt hides my pistol.

Tucker Texas Heritage IWB

The holster does a great job keeping my pistol away from my body – there are no sharp edges.  The slight pressure is actually comforting after awhile.  There are certainly no security issues with this holster, my XD fits snugly but draws easily.  Given the top quality leather and workmanship, and perfect functionality, I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.

Best regards, Austin”

How do we get rid of  Obama and his administration? Start to work NOW!

Have you seen this news?

Obama wants veterans to pay for service-connected medical treatment through reimbursing the Veterans Administation from their private insurance!

Here’s the story.

He wants to take money from our veterans to pay for his favorite new programs while saving money on the backs of veterans.

Obama is talking about violating a sacred agreement between our country and service members.

Screw that!

I’m so pissed I can’t see straight!

I don’t care that it’s probably a “trial balloon,” checking for public reaction and will never pass the Congress.

He’s a bait and switch artist.

People thought they were voting for this:

What they got is this:

Tucker has been spending more time on stamping a holster or belt, than cutting and sewing it. It’s clear that he hasn’t been charging nearly enough for his time and it’s also very hard on his hands and arms.

It’s painstaking, exacting work and the result of 30 years of practice. No apprentice can duplicate it.

On orders accepted on March 15th, 2009 and beyond, Tucker’s price for stamping will more than double. Tucker will continue to do all stamping personally.

HF1 with Full Crosscut Stamp

Full stamp will be $90 on a holster or belt and Border stamp on a holster will be $45. On a complete rig with stamping, the average increase will be approximately $100.

Pancake with Fleur de Lis Border Stamp

There is some good news. Unstamped orders will get out the door in less than half the time than they have been. Stamped orders will remain around 8-9 months unless the price increase reduces the number of stamped orders (which is expected).

If you are considering placing an order before March 15, to beat the price increase, we will accept a 20% down payment at time of order with balance to be paid upon completion and shipment. (Be sure to use a credit card because Paypal will take the total price immediately.)
