Dwight,
Thanks for the reply. LOL the Duke may have come to appreciate the ruggedness and reliability of a Glock given the chance.
So I am planning to use the basic pattern on this forums page Cowboy Holster tutorial. Unlined, welt and with a holster loop. being this isn't a wet formed holster I may tackle some carving and stamps (albeit I am extremely limited on skill)
I hope the holster will carry deep enough not to need a retention strap and will build the first one without one. I am afraid that i will have to add one latter though for any kind of use other than a range holster.
i have made a few things but this will be my first pistol holster.
