Mine does the same thing to me (not just for barns either). Most of the barns out here either have livestock in them or they are falling down. Oh well.

I guess I need to start lookin' for some barns to rummage through. Sweet find, and a GREAT friend.

I knew I was missing something, just didn't know what. Tbhogstrom, thats a nice design.

Thanks Renegade, I'm a bit dense at times. Thanks for breaking it down for me. I've still got a long way to go in this craft. Murray

Awesome idea and superb execution. Bravo!!!

Again, thanks for all the input, I have spent a bit of time thinking on this topic. As far as the one size fits most, that is a jump off point for a pattern so that I can mold to other similarly sized weapons. I have no intentions of producing a sleeve and tellin' folks to drop their gun in it. In regards to the rigidity of the opening, I stitched two layers of 7/8 oz together at the opening to include covering the trigger guard. Attached is a photo with the weapon installed.

Thanks for all the input. I will post pics of the holster with the gun in it later (I'm out of town). Please know that safety is always a major consideration for me. I looked at the design and made sure that no accidental discharges were possible. The mouth stays open all on its own without a steel strap. Also, the stitching was done tight enough that even without molding the holster retains the weapon tightly. I understand the concerns and thank you for your input.

Looks good to me. So the string is a little bit heavy? The way I see it, if you can shoot an arrow with it, you can secure your leatherman with it. I like the style and shape. What color is that? Nice work.

I was trying to make the smallest holster I could without compromising safety and retention. This is what I came up with. Works well as IWB, but OWB not so great (maybe a "range only" set up). It was based on my Sigma .40, but would most likely fit other 4 in. semi's pretty well. Your thoughts and comments are encouraged. Thanks.

thats a cool design. nice work.

They are all fantastic. I love the richness of the colors. Your borders are so clean. I could look at these all day and not run out of accolades to shower on them. Stunning.

that is just gorgeous.

Thanks Mike. I am motivated.

I'd like them as well. murray_c_hill@yahoo.com

That looks great Mike. I love the details in the tooling and the colors are really cool. (<----- Jealous).

Ditto!!! Awesome looking chaps.

Sweet designs and I really really like the color combinations. I also like the subtle border stamping. Impressive.

regardless, even if the art work isn't "yours" you did well, Nice work. I have been thinking about trying a pruse but don't have any experience with them. Is there a liner and pockets and all that in the kit? Like I said, I have no experience with purses, so I dont know what makes one better than another (or functional for that matter).

Is the artwork yours? I really like the strap stamping and floral on the front. Nice work.

FANTASTIC design/tooling work. I aspire to a first attempt 1/10th that good.

Thanks Fellas. Thats my first attempt at a IWB holster. The guy I made it for wanted two clips for more stability. It was a bit of a brain teaser, and a tough one to stitch, but we were both happy with the end product. thanks again.

King, David, and Moto, Thanks for the welcome. Like I said, I'm just starting this hobby/lifestyle/spare time annihilator. Got my first swivel knife for Christmas and I haven't put it down since. Bear, thanks for the forum links.

Thanks for the note. I was starting to think I broke a rule or something. Again, Thanks. I could get lost on this site, tons of stuff. where to start????
