Something is
wrong here. Are you referring to the "Select Grade IWB Holster w/Reinforced Sweat-shield"? If so, the price I see listed is $78. Did you look at the Milt Sparks site? The Watch Six is $77. And it's Horsehide, a more expensive leather than cowhide (as an example of the upcharge, with CrossBreed, you pay an upcharge of $15 for the flat slab of leather on the body side of the holster to be upgraded to horsehide).
And to the OP, the Watch Six is neither out of stock, nor back ordered. It is
made to order, as are
all Milt Sparks Holsters. There is a reason they are so popular (you witnessed this when you liked what you saw). And yes, there is a wait (current quote is I think 20 to 26 weeks). And guess what? They deliver when they say they will (unlike many of the horror stories you've heard about custom holster makers).
I don't understand why I so often see both wait times and prices of Milt Sparks Holsters mis-quoted/exaggerated on Forums. But I see a lot of it.
Bottom line, you can get a holster quicker in many cases from many sources. But you'll find few finer than Milt Sparks Holsters. They've become a standard others are compared too, and for good reason. Besides top quality, you'll find fair pricing and customer service policies, and honest and accurate delivery estimates. They simply are one of the best in the business. Guess that's why they're such a target!
