Made a couple holsters
Made some more. Any advice or thoughts? Thanks
Well since not alot of people make holsters specific for my gun. So this was my second attempt. The first attempt I made the mistake of resting the holster to glue were my dog could eat it.
Holsters are made from 7oz cowhide veg tanned. I bought a single shoulder and dies, glue, sewing awl, scribe and leather for 80 bucks. Have plenty of leather left over. Think I will make a mag holster too.
Made a couple more. What do you guys think?Last edited by algoesfast; February 19th, 2011 at 09:11 PM.

Turned out really good about how long did it take you to make them?

Thanks Snuff. Acctual working time on each was about 3 hours. But needed to let glue dry over night. The pink one was a tad quicker. Getting faster at sewing.
The hardest part was figuring out how big to make the leather. A little tricky but I think I got it now.

agreed looks like some excellent home crafstmanship !!
When unholstering your sidearm it is customary to say: "Excuse me while i whip this out"
