I had no idea there were cowboy action matches in Sweden. Here's my take on a wild bunch style holster. I like it, but it isn't in the same league with yours!

Looks like you are on top of things. I like the press as well.

Thanks. I would like to see your press.

I like it.

I love it! WOuld you care to share how you creted the U.S. emblem?

Yep...I said that wrong...it is impossible for me to make anything that isn't ugly for them. Sorry if I offended you.

I've told several folks that they should get a plastic holster for their plastic pistol. It is impossible to make anything that isn't ugly for them.

Sir, I really appreciate your taking the time to post this. I've bought leather from Tandy, and I've noticed their quality of leather steadily taking a nosedive. I'm looking for a better source, and I never considered horse hide. I look forward to seeing you actually making something from it.

Beautiful holster. Simple and elegant. I love it. The buckles are too flashy for my taste however.

Very nice indeed!

I like the mag pouch. I haven't quite qrapped my head around how you get the rounded edges at the bottom to line up correctly when the front is obviously a larger piece of leather than the back, allowing room for the mag. You did good. With a stitck wheel and groover, you'll be amazed how much more professional your work will appear.

I use a sanding block. It only takes a minute!

Very nice work indeed. There are some quite interesting knives in the photos as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice belt. I've done it, and will probably do it again. However, I do not encourage a customer to order a belt from me. I also find out how far it is around the customer before quoting a price. A 30" belt isn't near the pain a 48" is.

Great idea!

I'm in the camp that thinks your rather large and bold maker's mark takes away from your otherwise attractive, high quality work.You didn't state whether putting it on the back would be suitable to the customers, but I'd go that route if I were you.

I make them, and yes. The P3AT seems ever so slightly thinner than the LCP, but they both fit the same holster correctly.

Another big +1 for Laser Gift Creations.

Wow!!! That;s some kind of nice.

Nice looking holster......for the ugliest #*&$ handgun I've ever seen.

Please don't apologize. I value every opinion I've received to date from this site. It has been a wealth of knowledge. I thank each of you for your help and the advice you freely share. After I read your post, I googled Simply Rugged Holsters. After a quick look at his site, I do see a resemblance. While I have heard the brand mentioned, I can't say I knew what one looked like before today. Thanks for the compliment, Greg

Sir, Any similarity to anyone's designs are purely coincidence. I simply wrote down what the customers asked for, drew and cut out patterns and made them. I didn't copy anone's design intentionally, nor did I even look for pictures of existing holsters.

Very cool! Odd, out of production handguns, as well as being left handed, were why I found myself first interested in learning to make holsters. Heres a crossdraw holster i made for a fellow. It holds a 1917 Savage 32. ...and a pancake for a CZ 52.
