Evyl Robot Soapbox | The Rantings of a Complex Piece of Hardware

Search Terms – Little Holsters, Apparently

In the analytics service that I use on my blog, it tracks keywords that people have used to find my blog in search engines. I just brought up my cumulative results since I started keeping track, just for funsies. The results are fascinating. In a 3-way tie for the most prolific search terms:

evyl robot
cobra derringer holster
j frame holster

I’m actually pretty relieved that so many people who found me in a search engine actually meant to do just that. As for the other two, I think it’s really telling that there’s so much interest in these particular holsters. I suppose I understand the interest in J frame holsters, as the S&W J frame is so incredibly prevalent for personal defense. Add to that the fact that a Taurus snubby will fit in a J frame holster as if it was made for it. On a first impulse, I would think that people would be wanting 1911 holsters more than anything else. Then again, 1911 holsters aren’t exactly difficult to come by. I’m going to have to get one of those Cobra Derringers so I can start making more holsters for them. (Now for some eye candy!) This one little holster has generated a staggering amount of attention, and I know I could make a far better one at this point:

And then, there are the J frame holsters that I’ve done. I love J frame holsters! The very platform is so solid and compact that it is a great carry piece, and the right holster makes carry options virtually limitless! Here’s the original purple cross-draw that my wife carried for so long, and her beloved ‘pinky’ that replaced it:

And then, there’s the deep-cover semi-SOB belt holsters in red and ‘fabulage’. These have been a huge hit as well!

The bottom line is this: I need to get a Cobra Derringer and I need to focus more of my time developing holsters for it and for S&W J frames.

Not to be inappropriate, but your wife must be a wee whisp of a thing. That j-frame looks HUGE on her.

How are you making holsters for weapons you don’t possess? Seems that’s gotta come into play at some point

That’s not inappropriate at all! She’s a little girl, but you ought to see her handle her 12-gauge or any of the Magnum revolvers! I’d stand back to back with her anytime!

I’ve used Blueguns and I’ve used the customer’s gun when they are local. The Blueguns seem to work pretty darned well! There are also solid aluminum training guns that some holster makers like to use.
