    I'm awaiting delivery of mine.
    I'll let you all know how it works once I receive it and get to use it.

    I ordered one back in April. Still waiting for mine. I plan on making magazine carriers for them as well.

    A-Tech, it is what it is... no need to go back and forth over how I took your email.

    For the record, I didn't know how you formed holsters until this thread, with you stating it (CNC). Your message didn't come off as anything more than you cannot use my firearm for it... with an email going to Savage stating the legal reasons, I'm sorry that I linked the two together. Up to this thread, I was under the impression that a Kydex holsters was made by a heat gun, and either the gun or a mold.

    For Savage, it is a legal issue. For Titan, it is a production issue. Fair enough?


    Thank you for clarifying. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of how we operate.

    If you're on Facebook and Instagram, we sometimes post videos of the manufacturing process. Check it out if you're interested in seeing how we do things.

    I am aware that Titan and Savage are different companies... your response to my email was "we can't do it." Their response was "we can't due it because we are not an FFL, and would be illegal to bring your gun to us." Figured that was the reason, which was partially right.

    Again, I respect any company's decisions. They have to pay the bills to keep the lights on, so they are the ones making the decisions. I know my needs are far from the norm. However, if you guys put out a holster for a gun I'm looking to get a holster for, I'll likely buy from you... even if I'm out of NJ. I was very impressed with them.

    And for the visual why Savage couldn't do it... and even if you guys start doing SP-01 holsters, likely wouldn't help.

    Doubt there is a huge demand for those... but wanted to check NJ companies first. I would like to do a review of this maker from Oaks (as long as no forum rules are broken), in case there are other NJ shooters with odd holster requests.


    For the sake of making clear to future readers of this thread that we did not simply reply with, "we can't do it", the response sent to you was as follows:

    "Hello Jxxx,


          Thank you for contacting us regarding a holster for your CZ. We currently do not make any holsters for CZ at this time. Due to the type of forming process we use, we could not use your firearm to make this holster. I am sorry I cannot help with this specific holster. 

    Thank you,

    Sales Team
    Titan Concealment"

    We plan to expand our model selection to include CZ's. But we do not, under any circumstances use a customer's firearm to make a holster. Both because we are not FFL and also because the end result is nothing close to the quality we strive to deliver with every product. The fit, finish, definition, and reliability do not compare when made from tooling specifically made for manufacturing the gear.

    With that said, we will never (I say that with total confidence) make a holster with the tactical block on it. This is incredibly rare, as I'm sure you found in a quest for a holster.

    We need to sell close to 75 holsters of a specific model to justify the time and expense of making one mold. If we made holsters from blueguns like the leather guys used to do, it would be a different story.

    Again, I'm sorry we couldn't help. We will hopefully have our CZ lineup available in the near future.

    Understood... still wouldn't help me, though.

    I'll definitely withdraw my statement regarding your response... which pretty much just said you can't do it. Doesn't change the fact it was Savage's response to my email... which I respect (as I do yours). Taking the handgun to Oaks is legal, and allowed me to have the holster made. Not anything against your company, but if you can't do it, you can't do it. I would have loved to find a NJ company to do this.

    I did say it in my email to you guys, I have handled your holsters (at a class two weeks back), and think they are very well made. Problem is that out of all the guns you make holsters for, the only one that might work for me is a Glock holster... but might not with my 30S (it usually fits 19 holsters).


    I understand completely. I'm a little confused by what you're saying about Savage Holsters though. We are not affiliated with Savage, but I'm surprised they couldn't help as they used to make SP-01 holsters.

    Our model support will grow again. After the recent change to CNC tooling, the model selection had to be decreased. We once supported 50 different firearm models. There is a tremendous amount of time that goes into designing and producing the molds. The selection you see on the website accounts​ for 90% of the models that are selected by customers, which is why they were made available first.

    None of that is meant to excuse the inability to help you. It's just an explanation of why we have a more limited selection at the moment. I hope that as our selection grows, we can get something made up for you.

    We've never made CZ holsters, and we cannot take possession of someone's firearm as we are not an FFL.

    All of our holsters have moved over to being made on CNC molds. That means even if we were an FFL, we do not have the means of making a holster with the old school method of forming.

    The good news is that we will be adding CZ to lineup and they will have a precision fit.

    Thanks everyone! I'm really happy with this!

    Well maybe... I wouldn't mind a purple multicam

    I recently had my AR at Modern Materiel for a new coating done on my primary AR. I wasn't happy with the previous coating and Pete was confident that he could hit a home run with it. I left it with him and got pictures back of it being completed sometime around a week of waiting. That's pretty dang fast.

     

    I've looked this thing up and down for any flaw I can find and it's perfect. The transition between colors have no texture or transition lines that can be felt by fingernail. It's perfectly smooth, almost like it was printed on.

     

    I'm seriously blown away with how amazing this came out. I highly recommend you go see Modern Materiel for a cerakote job!

     

     

    Enjoy some pictures:

    I want to hear more about these MM rifles.

     

    What's the specs?

    Are they legitimately reliable?

    What configurations do they have available?

    I have questions upon questions...

     

    It's hard to be an unknown entity breaking into the AR world with so many reliable and quality rifles out there that have a baseline for reliability, accuracy, and quality.

     

    If I have $800 to pickup a carbine do I buy a Colt 6920 with their years of known performance? Even the few issues that do crop up from time to time are known. Or do I spend my money on an unknown rifle, that is new on the scene, that I never heard of before?

     

    I'm all about NJ companies building guns - This makes my heart soar like an eagle. But, if I am on a fixed budget and can only buy one gun to suit my needs its hard to choose the unknown over the known.

     

    MM needs to get out there and get ther gear into the hands of some shooters. Become that known quantity.

    You're absolutely right. They have been getting demo rifles out to local social shoots and to reviewers online. They've received good word from everyone I have seen and/or know shoot them.

     

    I haven't tried one for myself yet but I've been in talks with them about doing a demo. I've held the rifles in my hands and saw what looked like high quality. They cerakote them in NJ as well. The stock was fixed and brake pinned + welded (they make their own brake much like a Surefire or Rebel Arms type).

     

    From what I understand they will be filling local retailers soon, so we should see more of them out and about. I know that they have the best of intentions with building a bigger and stronger 2a community in NJ and I'm sure there are many other vendors here that would attest to that. Obviously that has no bearing on the rifles themselves though.

     

    Bottom line, I think it's pretty difficult these days, to build an AR that isn't reliable. At $800 you're buying an entry level platform upon which to build from.

    I can't help having a nagging feeling that these guys are going to be granted their CCW permits due to meeting the "justifiable need" standard, and the rest of us will still be screwed.

    I don't know. Maybe not considering he's been denied twice already. Seems like they really have a point to prove.

    Lol you and that 231...

    W231/HP38 is golden. One of the best small caliber powders out there. It's no wonder why he and others (like me) try to hoard the stuff.

    Hey A-Tech, how was the class? Hope you didn't miss it.

    Lol, I didn't miss it..sorry I haven't updated, I've been pretty busy. The class is great for anyone who hasn't done any handgun courses yet..Cameron goes over a lot of fundamentals and very important building blocks for defensive shooting. It's not the kind of course that crams a ton is stuff in with hopes that spending a couple minutes on each, that you'll remember everything. He details what you're about to learn, and why it's important to know. This course also meets the AG Qualifier guidelines which is important because it gives you one more box to check if you're ever in a defensive shooting incident. It means that you passed the same qualifier that police need to pass. All in all, I think it's a great class and certainly worth attending. His scheduled is loaded with all sorts of courses to take. Give him a shot and see for yourself.
