Jim,

I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into the tutorial. It is excellent!!!
Have you thought about submitting it to LC&SJ?

Thank you!
Art


Funny you should mention that. About three years ago LC&SJ called me to ask if I would submit a holster making artical. I most humbly agreed and worked feverishly to get it out by the deadline they gave me. . . . . . and it was never published.

It was about making the California Slim Jim Holster and just for kicks, (if I can find it,) I'll post it here for all to enjoy!

More people will see it here than in the Journal anyway. We'd be honored to publish any of your lessons online.

Well thank you dear Lady. I looked and found it in its original article form and will have to re-work it to add the text with photos. This will give me a chance to expand on the text being as the article had it cut short for space.

I'll get right on it and email it to you.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Jim. Very well put together. You have put some time into this tutorial. I do mostly concealment type holsters and have always wanted to do a cowboy style holster for my Ruger, and this tutorial will help me a bunch.
