So they're an entire, it's basically a,

It's like a firearm, but it's all fiberglass, plastic, whatever.

So you could use the actual physical 3D version of the gun to make the holster off.

So what I did is I listed, I went through the website that I could get those on, and I listed every single mold that the website had on my website.

Because what I was doing was if someone placed an order, I would take the money that I made from that one order to purchase the mold.

And then the mold would come in and make a holster for it.

So I was basically preemptively telling people I can make holsters for molds that I didn't even have yet.

Um, that worked for a little bit, uh, but the word got out that there's this holster manufacturer in little Albany, Oregon that, uh, could make a holster for a Walther DPQ with an Olight Balder Mini on it that nobody else does.

And I, it got to the point where, um, I remember there was one week, I believe it was in November of 2022.

So the year that I started, um,

I got 300 orders in one week, and they were all foam press.

So, yeah, they take a while.

So I did the math because every holster took roughly, from start to finish, depending on the style of holster it was, the average time that it took for me to make it was about an hour and a half.

So you multiply that by 300.

When I've got a full-time job I'm running, I've got a wife and kids to give time to.

The math came out to roughly five and a half months to fulfill that entire goal.

list of orders.

Right.

That was, that was not even including orders that I got through Christmas, the orders that I had prior to that week.

Um, I had, I think I had just done a gun show.
