Thank you for the reply.

I've been using a drum sander (Dremel and Cobra Burnisher) for years and thinking about purchasing a bench spindel sander. Wondering if anyone uses one for sanding edges on holsters? Thanks

Thanks..

The back is Hermann Oak 8/9 oz cowhide and the elephant is glued and sewn to another piece of cowhide in the front. Very hard to mold.

Thank you!!

Armadillo? The armadillos where I live don't have that pattern on them. No it's 100% Florida Gator trim. Still glad you like it! Thank you!

Thank you Harley45!

First time I've worked with Elephant or Alligator. Believe the holster came out really nice. Just wanted to share.

Used 8/9 oz leather.

Thank you!

Thanks..

Thank you...

As requested I've attached more photos of the edges, back, and belt slots. This are from my phone though. Thanks. Gary

Recently finished an OWB holster using Ostrich Leg Skin for a Glock 26. Just wondering what others may think about it? Gary (Betz Gunleather) As requested I'm attaching some photos of the back, edges, and belt slots.

Thanks for the information. A spindle sander is the direction I've been looking at. Thanks. I've been looking at the spindle grinder option. Thanks for the reply. Thanks for the information. Thanks. I'm going to look at this option.

Wondering what others use to sand the edges of their holsters. I currently use a Dremel but would like to try something different to help decrease my time sanding . Do some use a spindle sander, belt sander, etc.? I don't mind investing some money but haven't used anything besides my Dremel and hand so far. All advice is appreciated. Thanks... Gary

quote name='Go2Tex' timestamp='1303581296' post='196678'] If worn just behind the point of the hip, where I would wear a concealed holster, it would take a gorrilla length arm and/or a much smaller belly to reach around with the left hand and grab that magazine. But, to each his own.... It looks really nice. Thank you...

Thanks for the comments. Good question on the magazine pocket. This is actually my forth request to build a holster with a combined magazine pocket. I don't wear that style myself but with the sharp cant of the pocket it is pretty easy to reach across and remove with the left hand similar to a cross-draw holster. May take a fraction of a second longer than if worn on the left side. I think most of it is the convenience of being combined together. Gary

Hello Adam, I guess that's probably why Wishful asked if it was lined. I'm a little slow today! Great question! Yes the concho was installed and the leather dyed on the reinforcement piece before it was sewn onto the body of the holster. That way of course the screw head was between the two pieces of leather and wouldn't have any contact with the finish of the gun itself. Thanks for the compliment. Gary

The holster is not lined. Never felt the need yet if using quality leather. May do it some day just to see the difference. Thanks for the comment. Gary

Wanted to share a photo of my latest gun holster built for a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber with a Crimson Trace Laser. Wondering what others think about it. All comments welcome. Thanks. Gary (Betz Gunleather)

It is actually raised in the back and cut down in the front for easier access. Could probably have been molded a little lower. Thanks. Gary

Thanks for the reply. Gary Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Gary

Just finished this holster and would like to see what others think of the Mahogany color with the Black Sharkskin trim. Made for a Kahr CW9/CW40. All comments are appreciated. Thanks. Gary (Betz Gunleather)
