Dave...I used to have Ernie Hill leather back wen I was competing 1986 - 1992. I just recently returned to USPSA/IPSC competition and the first thing I did was go on Ebay and find some odl school Ernie Hill leather only to have the new USPSA Singe Stack rules tell me I cant use it and that am forced to use plastic crap. Any other old timers out there who still love drawing a 1911 from a leather holster? Anyone?
When Leatham went over to Safariland I think that spelled the end. I sure miss leather holsters. I still have a brand-new EH black basketweave belt hanging in my closet, hoping one day he would make holsters again.
Ernie got out of holster making after speedshooters began using synthetic holsters with multiple adjustments. He went into other businesses (not shooting-related) and has been very successful. He still loves holstermaking and has said he might be making some concealment type models as a sideline/hobby.
Absolutely one of the nicest guys around, and a perfectionist at whatever he does.
