I don't find a "contact seller" button.Bill's trading Post in Prescott has some for sale but he has "gone fishing" for several weeks so I con't get an answer there.
The ones he has / had in his store appear to be quite well-made and suitably minimalistic just like I need. They also are very good fits for some guns, the more popular ones. I want concealability and convenience more than comfort or anything else.
Okay, I found the contact button. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks.

https://www.ebay.com/str/barsonyholsters Well, here is a link to their ebay page. You can try the "Contact Seller" button and ask questions. I've never dealt with them, so I have no idea what you'll find.
I've looked at their page before, and to ME they look like many other cheap holster makers that make more or less a generic holster that "fits" multiple guns of similar build. Good Luck.

Not very heavy for a 12 ga with three barrels.

I don't care.
I want to talk to a real person to find out if they will make some to fit my pistols. I don't want to see pictures with little info and I don't want to talk some damned computer. I'm willing to pay several hundred dollars each for a product for each of my six gun collection...and I can't find any way TO SPEND M Y MONEY!!!!!!!
Local leather smiths won't even discuss them with me except one who, after my giving him very detailed written instructions made a holster that had every single feature 100% wrong! After twelve years of making holsters for me that were as good as I've ever had, he screwed it up and refused to listen to me or follow my directions. or to even try to make it right.
I fired him.
What ever happened to customer service and quality products?

That one reminds me of a girl I dated in high school, but she was more blue.

Has anyone dealt with them?
Does anyone know how to contact them through their overly-complicated web site?
Is the any other way to contact them?
Is there any HUMAN I can talk to there?
Can anyone give me a snail mail address?
They seem to have a couple of holsters that would serve my needs but I've finished five days on the computer and have succeeded in opening an account....THAT I CANNOT NOW OPEN / ACCESS!

Thanks. Now I know who you are and your number, roughly where you are, and that you are a cowboy.
Bottles, I'll buy a round to get the new guy started. :)

Why not just super-speed grab the bullet, disable the gun, tap the guy unconscious, put the bullet in your pocket and pretend none of it happened....all in a super blink of an eye movement that no one could see?
Hey, I can get as unrealistically SF as anyone else.

I bought an SKB 200E shotgun at the Tokyo area factory in 1974. Because it was a semi-custom gun I was offered the frame in high gloss or a semi-gloss blued (the one I chose), a CCH, or a "coin silver" finish. It was an un-polished, almost aluminum looking nickel alloy. All had the trigger and selector button nickel plated.

So, what is your number, Rookie?
Hey, Bottles, drinks are on the new guy.
By the way, welcome aboard.

I'm 84 years old and I used to be tighter than three coats of paint. After 61 days residing in hospital beds, a broken back and three broken ribs, bandages ans slings, enough bruises to cover a basketball court, whole bunches of lost blood, and multitudes of tests for everything imaginable, all in the last four years, I have learned that instead of hoarding all my money I'd be better off spending what I had to...and living to spend it... without the time lost to pain, discomfort, inconvenience, unnecessary and frequent testing over and over again and all else that goes with it.
I'm fortunately in a position where I won't die totally broke, my kids have money of their own, and I worry much, MUCH, MUCH less now.

We pitch a fit.
I left that out because I knew you said that and I didn't want to mistaken for anything at all like you. So there!

Something I need like I need the mumps.
And you wouldn't need an air freshener in you car if you'd stop farting in it.

I will agree on the stopping of the time change.
Who wants to get up for work in the morning and still need headlights?
Suggest you start a poll and see what the majority on this forum would say.
I'm the majority in my house and my vote is already posted above.

That's almost four times what I paid for my first house and $35,00.00 more than I gave for the one I'm in now.
It's also a three year newer version than the one I'd use to convert.

Should be Standard Time, not DST.
Absolutely......and why is this a government issue......ANY government...... any way. Lock it in at Standard Time and then back out of this foolish......DLS system permanently.
If a single business wants to open an hour earlier or later they can simply tape a sign on their front door (something that too few businesses do anyway.) stating the new hours.

So........God put all of his own "left over" critters down there in one place, clear to hell and gone away from the rest of the planet. Some of the deadliest things on the planet......and a lot of spaces unfit for many living things.
Then man came along and "improved" things by bringing in even more damaging species, though not as deadly to man, but hell on the environment.....and added prisoners and soldiers unloved by "society" as a cherry on top. Many of them even tried to eliminate the native peoples who were there for centuries before anyone else arrived or even knew of the existence of Australia.
Finally you got crappy governments (don't we all) and he made you talk funny and eat weird foods.
What's left? Maybe astroid or meteor storms, horrible illnesses, or massive earthquakes, tsunamis and storms?
Thanks to God though for letting Australia (and New Zealand) have a lot of really tough, interesting, nice, and comfortable-to-be-around and fun folks.

You know; the flip side is possible as well - maybe SHE did something so atrocious that her punishment is being stuck with me?
No - not possible.
She is by far the sweetest, kindest person I have ever met. I do not deserve her.
I think God put her into my life to give me a reason; to encourage me that I should try everyday to do better.
That applies to me and my wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law, and my mother. Four in a row and I am still sort of stunned every time I think of them.
I Just Had An Interesting Jury Duty Experience
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted · Edited by Forty Rod SASS 3935
My wife worked for a well known attorney who was one of the most intelligent men I ever knew...and he thought that my wife was the best paralegal he had ever had working for him. I was working for myself with three partners and taking time off for jury calls was simply very expensive for me.
After the third call in four months I was at lunch with his office staff and mentioned this problem. After lunch he called me into his office and asked me a few questions: How old I was (54), do you have a very "severe-looking" suit (several...and was making good enough money that I could afford some really great custom suits), do you have any horn rimmed eyeglasses (yes - I was still wearing glasses at the time), and a few more.
"Okay, Tom, here's your solution."
He told me to get a dark gray or Navy blue suit with very light narrow pinstripes, a plain white lightly starched shirt with a conventional collar. If you have a matching vest, wear it.
Wear a dark red necktie with a small pattern and tie it with a double Windsor knot. Use one of your Marine tie bars,
Wear your black cowboy boots and polish them until they glisten.
Wear an America flag lapel pin, a small one.
If you have a frat pin wear it on your shirt
Wear your Army ring, the one your kids gave you.
Wear your Gruen Curvex wristwatch and put one of your fountain pens in your pocket.
Get your hair cut shorter and have a business man's manicure.
Bring a gun magazine with you.
When you get there go like a Marine Corps walking tall, make yourself look very professional.
Check in and go sit down as far from anyone else as possible and open your magazine and read it, and sit up straight.
If you still have that little leather pocket notebook take it out just once and make a note about something you read in the magazine.
Be polite but don't talk to anyone if you can avoid it. Smile only if necessary and stay aloof.
Don't fidgit, sit up straight, and don't make eye contact if you can avoid it.
I did exactly what he told me.
About ten minutes after I sat down a bailiff came and asked my name and walked away. Within a few minutes he came back and said "Mister Taylor, you have been dismissed. I'll walk you out, sir."
When we got out side I asked if he knew why I had been dismissed. He grinned and said "Sir, look at yourself. You look like Joe Conservative and no Defense Attorney in this world would want you on a jury."
A couple of weeks later I got a letter informing me that I was excused from any jury duty in California. Shortly after I turned seventy I got another one saying essentially the same thing.
I was only in a courtroom twice again when I was called as an "expert witness" for the defense on two cases involving guns. Both defendants were found innocent, maybe because of my testimony, but having really good lawyers didn't hurt, either.
