[Boothill Bob]

BB, I have never really counted, but I would say on a guess, somewhere between 10-20 holsters, plus belts, slides, etc.
All work is hand stitched, so it takes a little longer.
I also have a full time job with the city, so sometimes that eats my bench time.
This year has been less, as we have little Wesley now and he is more fun than whacking leather, most of the time.

Sort of depends on who's changing the diapers huh!

A tough question to answer since so much depends on one's market and one's methods -
1) When making tactical/LEO/concealed carry gear I made between 150-200 holsters. They were mostly clicker cut and I used vat dyed leather so the amount of handwork was as limited as possible for me.

2) As a full-time strictly one off custom maker (all period leather now) I make maybe 25-35 holsters a year, but that is just a part of my production and over the last couple of years a diminishing item since more and more I'm doing beaded/Indian goods.
Overall my production, which includes leather, custom knives, and replica Indian gear is about 60 pieces a year, but then due to my "reputation" I can produce less at a higher price point (a price point that I can't afford!  )

DM - Enjoy that little Wesley while you can, my "little" one turns 33 this year (he's two inches taller than me although I've got him beat on weight) with a little one of his own that is 7 or 8 years old.....where in the double hockey sticks the time went I don't know

JD, you nailed it!

I produce about 50 a year pluse belts and other assorted things for cowboy action and collectors between saddles and saddle repair and this time of year the repair work comes in handy. after 30 years of leather work i would rather do the gun leather more than any thing it's my passion in leather work.

Last year I did 12 lined CAS holsters, several gun belts, shotgun belts, and a number of other leather projects including updating a Spencer rifle cartridge tube box.  Leather is my fun job; I'm still a full time high school history teacher and coach.

My other problem is that I am notoriously slow at getting projects done.  I have a nice sewing machine, but I still like to do some stitching by hand and I'm too picky about how stuff looks.  If I were doing this for a living, I'd be a skinny man.
