I would prefer more contrast at the termination of the leg leather with the cow hide. The airbrushing at that point detracts from an otherwise handsome looking design.

By "molding the front to the back panel" , Dwight, you are refering to pre-molding the firearm with the gun/dummy and then stitching? Or, did I miss something in translation? Jake

There's another holster making board on the net?

Looks good, Fredo. Interesting design. How well does it stay put with the belt hooks upsidedown? Looks like they might gouge the body some, especially when sitting.Do you have to thread the belt through the clips to put it on? Jake

Placed an order with Rob this evening. Thanks guys!

Mike, I picked up the grab bag of brown ostrich from Springfield's. Some really nice looking and quite large pieces in the bag. Perfect for 6-8 trial holsters at least..plus some key fobs, knife sheaths, etc.. Jake

And get lines as clean as the aforementioned holster?

Nice work! Jake

Bruce, which item numbers on your website are "round edge creasers" or "layer creasers"?

Thanks guys. Looks like I get to buy some more tools! Jake

And, how is this process done, if you please?

recommendations, Mike?

Is the edge of the loop on this Karla Van Horne holster the result of using an edge creaser do you think, or some other technique? The edges on it, and the holster itself practically look as rounded as upholstry piping. I can never seem to achieve that kind of radius on the edges, and I'd like to. http://www.purdygear.com/images/Holsters/Modern%20Holsters/Brill%201911%20Holster%201000.jpg Jake

From which machine are your bobbins?

Looks pretty darn good to me. Jake

:spoton: ...and three thumbs up is really difficult to do.... Jake

I guess my question should have been: Does the blue coating on Ring's Dummy guns come off on the holster during molding? And, if yes, Can you prevent it? Jake

Awesome. Jake

Eric, you are saying that there is a clear topcoat over the blue. Is that right?

I see Rings Blue Guns are available in black, and I have heard of the blue coming off on a holster during molding. Do any of you have a preference for one color over the other? Does it really matter? Jake

Looking good, Abram. It is more work, but a continuation of stitching at the toe and along the top of the trigger guard would really dress up the front. There are two schools of thought...or really, three. No stitch groove at all, stitch groove only, and stitching. For pure asthetics I like stitching that circles the perimeter, at least on the front. Jake

Nice looking holster, Rob. What vendor did the hide come from? Jake

I thought you get all that with an account like godaddy?

I had to download the pictures because I keep coming back to look them...

Any purchase made online or in a store, even, is payment up front. Shouldn't ever be any other way. Period. Was this an ebay sale? If so, how'd they get the merch without paying upfront? I cut my association with ebay and paypal years ago. Jake
