FETTPRIDE: ESB Side Arm Holster is a GO, Accepting Payments

Pm sent about strap change. FP, thank you for doing this run. All of your stuff is top of the line. If any of our stuff did break we would know that it was not cause you sould us lesser product, but cause the casting must have been a fight up hill. + you are sending a replacement along with a how too add it. Not many others would do that.

Thank you for take'n on this run.

Chris you shouldn't have to worry about things like the strap breaking once we get them. That would be like me going back to the car dealership and saying the rubber on the tires wore off after 100,000 miles. You can't protect against things like that.

Actually I think what Chris is saying is that it may be 100,000, or it might be 10. I sure as heck would not be happy if the tires on a new car went out after 10 miles. That said, I appreciate the warning and understand the intricacies that you are dealing with here. And... these are absolutely amazing! It just doesn't get any better than this and the 'new' pulce's.

If the strap should break after a month or two I assume the rubber one could be easily added to replace it? Just want to make sure that there is an option should a failure of the resin occur. If that's the case you've done all you can bro.

Yes, as FP stated earlier, he will be including the replacement strap with the holsters "OR" if a member wants to forgo the chance of it breaking at any amount of milage, the alternate strap will be installed before their holster even ships. Hope that clears it up!

:cheers
 
Paypal sent! Alternate strap please. I didn't include my TDH username on it though. It's from my htjkmd paypal addy. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch guys and gals - you're troopers (pun intended) :lol: You're all so understanding.

I, however am sooooo not comfortable with this as it stands. I don't mean to be wishy washy. And I certainly don't want to complicate this anymore than I feel I have :lol: But I want to make sure that I've done everything humanly possible to make this happen with "caveats" imposed upon you.

I have one last thing up my sleeve here. I'm going to experiment with the compound that Stormrider used for the FP Rubber knees after all. I want to at least find out if a casting is doable. My only concern has been the finish and feel of each casting. The originals were hard vinyl, and there is really only one material that suits this (what I've already used). But if I can come close on this other material, it will at least be an option for those that aren't as concerned with the ultimate accuracy of the hard vinyl surface feel. The new material is on it's way, and I will be able to report my findings by weeks end. It's a small delay, but it will be worth it to know there was no stone left unturned (y)

Thanks again for all of your words of support on this. To those that have PM'd me about the pre-strap replacement .. consider it done. But lets see how this turns out before I ship 'em ;)

Best,

FP
 
**UPDATE**

Hi Everyone,

I'm a day late, but here's the new info on the new material:

I got it late Wednesday, since I was in the process of shipping the last of my armor orders I didn't get around to it until late yesterday. Unfortunately, this material is impossible to work with in this type of complex mold :( So it appears we're status quo on what has already been discussed. I wish it could be different. I will of course still keep my eye out for a "perfect" material, but we have to move forward with this as planned. It's tough because of the nature of this mold. And of course I now I'm being too hard on myself, but I I wanted perfection :lol: So this means that holsters will start officially shipping this coming week, and perfect timing too as I see members are receiving their Mojo-Side arms ! (y) :cheers Not too bad really :)

So from now on, any new orders, please specify if you want the rubber strap installed please. Perhaps GBH can add this to your respective names on the list in post #1 (y)

I am however taking a much needed day of rest TODAY. Thanks again everyone for their continued patience

Best,

FP
 
awesome, FP!! my sidearm needs a home...cant express enough gratidue for you and GBH making this item happen...when you search, and search for this elusive item, its nice to know that there are those willing to contribute to the community to get us little peeps as accurate as possible! cheers guys!!
 
Sorry for the payment delay Chris and GBH, money is VERY tight. It's my birthday though and the wife said I could pick up a little sumpin - sumpin - so payment is away!

Thx.
 
THX BubbaFett, got you marked down for a lil' somin' somin'! I'm sure Fettpride will be along with a oil somin' somin' of an up date as well!

THX Again Everyone!

:cheers
 
Hi Everyone,

Sorry about being slow to update. Everything is on-track now. I wanted to ship the first sets out last Friday as promised, but I had not yet received the rest of my snaps and chicago screws. As of yesterday and today, the first 8-10 have shipped. Not trying to be vague, but there were a total of 15 packaged that were sent in the last two days, and I know at least 8 of them were holsters. I've not been to sleep yet (again :lol: ) so I'll post the tracking sometime today.


tk2647 - Sorry about that. What I need to do is gather up all of our over seas members and see what the average is so I have some kind of idea as I'm not used to shipping these. Of course it will still be dependent on the particular country. What I'll most likely do is post up prices today or tomorrow for the more common countries for you guys and gals (y)

I'm praying I can get 8 more to the post by weeks end, but no promises. Worst case, I think I'll have all of the rest out TOTAL by months end at this rate to give a realistic expectation.

Again, my apologies for the delay. I started a new project in between these slow holsters :lol: I can't wait to show it off someday :facepalm :lol: Oh, and no - not Fett related. But soooooo cool :lol: For those that are awaiting PM's, I'll be getting to as many of those as I can today too

Best,

FP

** REGARDING INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING **


Now that I've been able to ship some of these out, I have the info I needed to calculate International Postage. For some reason unknown to me, it's seems to be a flat rate that the USPS is charging now :confused :wacko For just about everywhere but Turkey, it's going to be $38.00. Turkey is $37.00 :lol: Not sure why, but that's what it's telling me. It's not always accurate, but that's what we're going to call it :lol:

Best,

FP

I think it's because nowadays all the International postage done by USPS has obligatory insurrance and delivery confirmation, they also ship it very fast, some kind of priority mail.

I'm not sure, but the last year and half all my boxes from USA were that way (y)
