    I realize this is a real shot in the dark, but I'll give it a go.
    I bought some holsters for IPSC shooting from Center of Mass Kydex in Idaho many years ago. They were good holsters, especially their 1-Fast model, and fit my guns better than the mass produced holsters. COM holsters were used by many people shooting IPSC and IDPA. The owner of COM, Rick Palmer, passed away in 2014 and I remember reading at the time that someone was going to buy the business and carry on the work Rick had done. Well, I find my self in need of holsters because my holsters were stolen by the moving company in my last move. I couldn't find anything about COM now, and it appears the business is no more. Does anyone know if the molds and models of holsters made by COM were bought by another company, or if one of the newer kydex holster companies makes holsters like the COM 1-Fast model?
    thanks.

    They're long gone. The IDPA crew is mostly using Comptac holsters these days. USPSA guys tend to be using RHT (which is local to us in MD!).

    I still have a couple of Ricks holsters so I can relate to your loss. They are top notch.
    I think the family kept COM alive for a little while but they went under...

    Garrett are my new favorite; depending on the gun you might want to give them a try.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I'll take a look at Garrett, RHT, and comptac. So sad to lose holsters, it's not like having a magazine go bad and junking it.
