Well step one is to get something more professional worked out - better stitching in recessed grooves, better edging, etc.

Once I have a final pro-grade design, next step is to get some blue-guns as molds. Market targets will be relatively big stuff - Beretta '92, 5" 1911, Glock 17, 4" L-frame S&W, 4" GP100.

I've also been pondering getting in bed with a local gun shop in Tucson, become their in-house holstermaker of sorts, use their inventory for molds, take orders there.

See, one thing about this class of rig is that it's perfect for AZ's legal and social gun climate. We don't have the Texas problem of "flashing equals lawbreaking" driving deeper concealment. "Mostly concealed" is OK here, in fact it's probably an optimal balance between fast access and "don't scare the sheeple" because they sheeple really don't look all that hard.
