Flopping Around On Ebay...

And no one can sell anything without frigging it to hell and back. Yeah, it's pet peeve time. So I click into commie ebay and search for Glock 27 holsters. I have scads of holsters for the larger guns, but finding a genuine rig to accomodate the little Glock is next to impossible. The black Uncle Mike holster is NOT for a 27, as the barrel extends just about where the clip ends, so when seated the remainder of the holster bunches up...as you can see starting to happen from looking at the pic... and becomes quite uncomfortable, then prints enough to signal to the whole world LOOK-MA, I'M PACKING. For 12 bucks plus shipping and handling (another $7) it isn't that bad of a deal, except for the fact the I can pick one up at the local Sports Authority for the same price, pay only about 75 cents in tax, and of course have it the same day.

Then there's the suede holster. Same deal. It's too long for the 27, will fold nearly in half from the looks of it, and for $30 is too much for the hassle. Yes, they've thrown in a faggy looking magazine carrier, and that's just what I want for the summer months; yet another slab of leather hanging inside my beltline. Clue one to ALL the holster makers: I'll pay twice what you want if you'll just make something that FITS.

So I've come to the same conclusion that anyone with half a brain does after spending some time aboard ebay. Not much of a deal on anything going on unless you luck out with something esoteric enough to have it slip by the 11 year-olds who collect gun stuff to hang around their bedrooms.
