Just to let people know.....I sold the Landis.

Thanx guys for the input. I saw a shoulder holster made with 2 layers of veg tan & looked to be laquered. It was quite well done & stamped "Mernickle". I thought I should do these with the pigskin so it would grab them a bit because they get bounced around a little when your riding. I figure I won't be popular if someone loses a gun! If I go with the pigskin I might go to veg pig so it doesn't remove blueing....never thought of that, altho these guns are stainless.

I am making my first set of holsters for mounted shooting. I'm using 9-10oz. veg & lining with pigskin. I was wondering if I should stiffen the opening of the holster or if I roll the pigskin over the edge if that would be enough? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanx Gail

Thanx for the comments folks! Bob.....I live in the Sylvan Lake/Bentley area & has it been cold! I'm sure Elton can relate......if you ever get "down south" make arrangements to stop by. Gail

I have a Landis 1 stitcher for sale. I used it for a number of years & I just don't need it anymore. I found it to be a versatile machine & I needled it for 207 & up to 346. Pretty basic & easy to run machine. It is on a table top & you can use it with or without the motor. I'm asking $3500.
