Rohrbaugh collectable? Sort of?

Check out this eBay auction:

A Ron Graham elephant hide holster originally commissioned for our own Eric Rohrbaugh...  Unfortunately, its for a Glock 17!  

I can vouch for the authenticity of this item -- it was made for, owned by, and used by Eric.

I was the first bidder, and will likely bid again.

Duane,
   Very nice, I am a big fan of Graham holsters. You don't have to worry about me bidding my only Glock is a 19.  I hope you get it.

Don't worry about bidding against me -- I wouldn't have posted here if I was keeping it a secret.    If its meant to be, its meant to be.

Nothing wrong with a G17!!

It's a nice holster for being used..

Good luck on it Duane!!

[kjtrains]

Nice holster, Duane.  Good luck!

Duane:

So youre the one I'm bidding against! Don't hold it against me, but this could get interesting.    

[kjtrains]

Richard.  Didn't even know you had a Glock.  Excellent!

[Richard S]

I don't, although I've been considering a Glock for a "truck gun."  However, at a recent range session "Herself" shot a G17 carried by one of her court officers and liked it. I'm going to get one for her.

[kjtrains]

Now that's a good idea.  Like those Glocks!

[yankee2500]

  I have 25 to 30 thousand rounds through my G-19, (over 20+ years) never had an issue other than a couple of FTFs that were dud rounds and just wouldn't fire.
   I did put a new Wolf barrel on a couple of years ago, good as new.

Richard!  That is pretty funny.  

The good news is that I am about out of steam on the bidding.  Not that its not worth it -- I know that was pricey when new.  Its just that I don't have a lot of use for such a nice "bar-b-que" holster for my G17.  My 17 is an old Second Gen that is a great game gun.  I never cared for the finger grooves on the newer frames -- they don't fit my fingers.  I have a 19 for carry.

I hope you win the auction.  I know your affinity for Graham hoslters, and it will be the perfect excuse to buy a Glock 17!

Duane:

Win or lose, it would appear that this faithful disciple of John Moses Browning is being dragged into the 21st Century.

I have a love/hate thing with Glock.  

I love the simplicity and the fact that they just plain work.  Taking the Armorer's class last year really helped cement my appreciation of the platform.

I don't care for the looks.  I don't like the whole "perfection" attitude either.  Nor do I like that the Glock appears to be a cult favorite of gangsta rappers and such.  I don't really care for the grip angle, but I get used to it.

That being said -- I have three of them.  I have sold Glocks just to re-buy them again.  The darn things just work.

Someone I know said it well.  If I have to arm myself from my own safe, I will take a 1911.  If I have to arm myself from your safe -- I will take a Glock.  Good point.

Duane:

I have a young friend who is a physical therapist and who helped me regain the use of my right arm after I had torn up my rotator cuff a few years ago. I used some of the boring hours required by repetitive exercises on the weights and pulleys to discuss the wonders of the 1911 dsesign. As a result, he purchased one and declared it to be his dream gun.

I happened to run into him at one of the local shopping malls a few weeks ago and asked him how he and his 1911 were doing. He stammered a bit before saying, "I've had a Glock epiphany."

My response was, "Say it isn't so!"

And now my little wife . . . !  

Perhaps old dogs can learn a new trick or two.   :-/
