 Who makes the mold guns that holster makers use?

I'm talking about the silver gun models that people in the holster business, mold the leather around.
I think they are made of aluminum or some similar material.
I was just wondering if they had a list of handgun models that they made these blanks for, and how much they cost.

Google "Duncan castings, MI"

They make them for several holster manufacturers. Probably have to call them.

Thanks. I'll check them out. I had heard that the company that makes these, didn't have a website.

Ring's. AKA Blue Guns. Leader in the industry. I have noticed that when working with Kydex, the blue can transfer to the inside of the holster, but it takes about 2 seconds to wipe it off. Blue guns run around $40, which is typically cheaper than Duncans.
