Thanks for all the welcomes, if someone could point me to a thread that explains how to post pictures, I would appreciate it.  
NV,
If you use a photo hosting site like photobucket, it makes it easier to post pictures to the forum.

Once your pics are loaded there, you will see below each picture an "IMG CODE" that you can copy/paste into the dialogue box here:

Highlight the line with the code included, right click to reveal the copy function
 

it will look like the highlighted section below when you paste it into the text box in the message box of the forum:
Code: [Select]
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v710/isa4031/yellowhorseSpyderco2.jpg[/IMG]
so the finished post will include the desired pic:


I hope that helps!

AND, I forgot to mention - in case someone else hasn't already given him a plug, one of the best holster makers is a member of this forum too, Robert Locke: mecopocketholsters.com

I have one of his pocket holsters for a Seecamp and an IWB for my R9



He made this one for my husband:

You can't tell from these angles, but they are both lined & very thin. His workmanship is perfect. I've seen him throw away an almost perfect holster - after spending hours in constructing it - just becuase it didn't meet his high standard for quality.  

He is also using more exotic leathers, shark, elephant, crocodile & alligator. Mine posted above is a tejas lizard, my husband's is crocodile. They are beautiful and sturdy at the same time.

Oh, I wasn't taking offense. I just wasn't sure if you meant the blue gun was a blue r9s or a mold.

I second the plug for MECO.  Robert makes a awsome holster.  I have a IWB in shark that is my favorite non pocket R9 rig.

His work does look real nice. I think you might have cost me some money!! That crocodile pocket holster looks great! I will get on photobucket here in a minute, and post you guys a picture of my 1911 Holster by Nossar.

Ok here it is. This is the first shell cordovan leather holster I have owned. I have read alot of mis-information from people saying it is too pliable to make a holster, and that it should be used with a base of some other hide. I found that to be untrue. This holster is super thin, super ridgid and the grain of the leather is different from hide. Very unique material, I would love another like it for my R9S! Alex Nossar is a true craftsman, and a high quality person to deal with. His work and customer service have made me a customer for life. This is the first holster of his I have purchased, but it will not be my last.

Shell cordovan always worked for shoes, too. It always strikes me that there is such a pronounced difference in the R9 mag release from earlier models to later models.

Thanks for all the welcomes, if someone could point me to a thread that explains how to post pictures, I would appreciate it. I looked it up under the search feature, but didn't find anything. Also, it's hard to pick uo sarcasm over type, but, I wanted to clarify by "blue gun" I meant gun mold for the holster.  I think you guys already knew that. Thanks!

Yeah, I knew what you meant, and I'd love to have a Blue gun in a Seecamp and a R9.

Congratulations on your new R9, it is getting closer.
