Greystone

Just finished up MY FIRST Buscadero rig for a customer, That early Ruger SA w/ real stag grips looks nice in there,,, ​ Details W&C chocolate E B exterior w/ Herman oak lining Ruger SA 22 ​bullet loops done separate and add sewn w/ 277 thread I was Happy as he was very happy with the set up

Pretty sure it a Landis 16 he has 2 in the shop

Is there any plus to double stitching other than LOOKS ? Fancy ? Stronger ?

if the 226 sig is still for sale I'll buy

looking for a Calvary style holster pattern to fit a 1911 and or revolver basic holster with a flap to cover the grip any one have something to share Thanks David

Thanks I was leaning towards the vinigeroon as I've had a couple issues with belt dye rub off or transfer, The drying time should offset the rubbing and cleaning time of the dyes on the blanks. thanks for the input, I've not used vinigeroon enough to determine how and when it should be used best LAST QUESTION? when using vinigeroon on holsters or tooled work do you change the process,,ie? vinigeroon then wet mold or stamp ? or vinigeroon and dry cut out/pattern and build holster normal ? or build holster then vInigeroon ? I've noticed a little less mold ability in the vinigeroon treated leather or am I just ????

I'm making a batch of black belts and trying to decide if I should Dye w/ feibings oil black or usmc or use vinigeroon main concerns are dye transfer to clothes and a consistent color and having to wait for the vinigeroon to dry smell is low on the list thanks David

Thanks this is the third or fourth avenger style I've made form a pattern sold by a member here. I followed the design, and agree the stitching around the trigger needs to be changed. The depth seem to be fine for the grip as my hand are xxl and no issue removing the gun from the holster . Will lengthen the pattern bottom @1/2 " to cover the tip better ,Agreed. My dogs are enjoying the first couple and say thanks for the great new chew toys..

looking for input to improve on my work this was made w 8-9 for both holster and reinforcement finished in mahogany dye 277 thread, when I form the holster I also form the belt pocket and wing hole to conform to a belt to lessen the break in time

NO!!!! NO !!! I'll just watch the post a little more before I say something stupid,,,,,, saran wrap ,,,,foam,,,,,,never assume it can handle it ,,,stretching it ,,,,an award,,,,,,,,,, ,you lose out on the fun of wrapping her.... it does seem like anything molded to breasts should be hand-formed. And you have a permanent souvenir as well! I'll stop with that for now!!!!!!

learning curve is easy if you are willing to follow the right path, and Cobra Steve or Cowboy Toledo Bob will take care of you needs if in the Gainsville area stop in and try a cobra 4-25 here best of luck David

Ck Al Bane videos, a lot of scrap till you think you have the feel and do some simple things be ready to adjust and redo a couple times then practice again, don't be too frustrated do some practice gussets and any other things that you did by hand just like hand work you will have some thing you throw in a box and never look at again I love my cobra 4 and I'm very happy with it except when I screw up the machine is solid and most of my fu's are my error
