I now repost my famous Unsafe at any Speed headline while noting that their copy of the Bucheimer-Clark holster will finally be in Holstory's third edition -- in the form of a consumer warning. I would have taken it down long ago but the maker refuses to update his holster.

It just doesn't get any better for Ardolino's "dealer" (I used the term advisedly because she is his grand daughter Mary). Here's her feedbacks through today, reflecting her efforts to sell the shoulder holster that is "Unsafe at Any Speed".

The Original Dirty Harry Holster, as she calls it, even though it objectively is not (hers is completely changed from the Bucheimer-Clark holster used in the films -- spring, lining, harness, belt loop, everything). It's a revised version but not in a good way.

Did I mention that the version Mary is selling on eBay -- HAS NO SPRING INSIDE IT?
