Thanks!!! This is great info. I didn't know about the heat treating. I'm etching to try one now. I've read about some people using circular saws to make one. Have you ever tried this? Is that metal ok to use and would you still need to heat treat it? Thanks again - this was a great tutorial. Art

Wow, nice job! You'd never guess it was just your third one! Art

Fantastic job! Art

Looks great Bronson. Art

Beautiful job Shelly! Art

Cool Joe. Do you have to use a special needle to sew the sting ray? Any tips on working with it? Thanks, Art

Is the mortise tool cheaper than a Tandy Strap cutter that is $14.99? Thanks, Art

For that price I'd return it if I could. The edges are terrible and the leather looks cheap. Art

Please post some pictures Steve!

Nice job! Thanks for the instruction pics. Art

Looks great!! I really like the design and look of this. Art

Looks good. Very clean and nice tooling. What did you coat the inside of the belt with? Art

Nice work Phillip! You're doing great and welcome. Glad to have you join us. I've never seen string used to do the lacing. How does that hold up? Art

Looks great Fred. My wife liked it too. Was the liner hard to put in? I've haven't done a liner - yet. Art

Nice holster Tom. Clean lines and well done. Art

Cool design. Is the shark skin hard to work with? Is it expensive? Nicely done. Art

Oh, sorry. I was referencing the holster I made was ok in Georgia. I see what you mean about the other one and the stock. Just too many laws!!!! Art

Hey Aaron, This is not a CC issue in Georgia if you have a permit (which I do). I don't know about Oregon. The pistol has to be drawn first. The trigger is covered in the holster on both sides and so is the ejector port. Art

The trigger is covered on both sides so you have to pull it before you can even get your finger in . That thing you gave me the link for looks like an accident waiting to happen! That may be why they don't have them in stock. You are right - stay away from that one. Thanks, Art

Thanks all. Not really my design. A friend at work showed me a picture of one that he saw on the internet and asked if I could make one. So I decided to try and make one for my little pocket gun. Mine pistol is one I inherited from my Dad. It's a 1910 Styer .25 cal ( I know - I better be close). The picture that he had looked like they used either the Keltec or Ruger .380. The trigger is covered on both sides so it's pretty safe. It's made in two pieces. One is the actual holster and the other is the flat piece. The holster looks the same on the other side but I didn't mold it like I did the front of it. After you sew and form the holster then you use two rivets to attach it to the bottom of the flat piece (which goes to the outside of the pants so it looks like a flat wallet). To draw the pistol you slide your hand between the pistol and the flat piece and pull out just the pistol. Works ok. Hopefully they get lead instead of gold. Art

This is my first attempt to make a wallet holster for my 1910 Steyr .25cal pistol. Any advice? Art

Cool work. Welcome! Art

Wow! Looks great. Perfect match. Art

Beautiful! This will become a family heirloom. Art

Major that is truly a work of art!! Beautiful. Art
