Very nice

Very nice!

I built this holster a while back for a Kimber. Hang on to your patterns. This one is for a 1911 in very polished stainless. The customer saw the one pics of the one I did for the Kimber and wanted the same thing. Glad to oblige. Check out the water moccasin grips. Technicals, Hermann Oak 7/8 oz veg tan Fiebings pro dye dark brown Resolene 50/50 with water Cobra class 3, 277 superior 277 bonded nylon top and bottom Beeswax edges Yep, that's it. Oh, and check out his water moccasin grips!

Ditto the NFO. I do it again after dying to even it out even more.

I'm using a couple of lead "muffins" I poured up back in my goose hunting days. I used them to hold a line of decoys in place. I Also found about 10# of mixed bird shot and made very similar weights.

Wow, new in 2022! I have used Maine thread for my hand sewing needs since I started. I like that it is made in the USA, but dislike that twisted thread untwisted on longer runs looking a little less pretty than I liked. Went to tiger, but will now try Maine thread again!

I see one of these for my old speed 6 and chest rig!

Ditto all above. Nice job. I have used blue tape in the past, but now I use clear packing tape. Same effect, but less expensive.

Thanks guys. We have mattocks over here as well. The pulaski was designed by (wait for it)Big Ed Pulaski in 1910 as tool to help make fire breaks when fighting forest fires. Some debate ongoing with that.. I thought about a strap and buckle as well, but, in the end the bungee won out for lack of a proper size buckle.

A friend asked if I could come up with a cover for his old pulaski. It's been in the family a while. I connected the 2 parts with bungie cord to keep them together and also to hold them in place. He wanted no frills, so just an atom wax finish on natural leather.

I like that! Most of the time it's just too dang hot for all the jackets and stuff. I was a welder in Texas, we just wore long sleeve wrangler denim shirts with heavy starch. A cuff that went under your elbow for passing would have been great. I put a knee pad under mine if I had to learn on it for a while.

Welders like them as well. They just need to overlap so the hot stuff doesn't get inside.

I like it!

Very nice! My wife tells me that the mistakes I see from 6 inches are invisible to everyone else. But I still see them, and will work to eliminate them.

Thank you and I agree with all the points you have made. I tell my customers that these are not going g to be a "speed draw" holster, but they will still have it when they get high enough in the tree to think about it! Especially with a gun with a 7.5" barrel. I think they like the looks of the reloads on the side, but I much prefer they get a speedloader. I can mount a pouch for this just as easy, and I feel they are much more secure. He wanted the drop leg due to his military background and his use of them then.

I have snap buckles on them.

This is the drop leg version of the Ruger 480 I recently finished. I used the 2.5 in ring to allow for swing when walking. Pita to sew, but not quite what thought it would be. HO 7/8, Cobra class 3, Superior thread bonded nylon 277 top and bottom, Fiebings light brown pro dye. Bear logo the same as the chest rig. Customer loves it. I left enough space for a strap if needed, but, this thing is tight! And unfortunately, no, that is not me in this photo.....

Yeah, I can see that would be a good option. Mine just disconnects on the left side and slides off the shoulder. My belt seems to be a bit higher than yours as well.

Nice job! Some one is going to like that.

Thanks guys. Good feedback. Not a big fan of the bullets on the side myself. But, we do what we are asked, and several customers have loved them. And they can be taken off the rig if he feels they are impractical or uncomfortable. I am now working on a "drop leg" holster for the the same gun.

I've done a couple like this now. Feedback has been positive. Putting anything on the shoulder strap can interfere with back pack straps so I quit putting them there. These cartridge holders slide off or around if needed. I use one of these rigs for my speed 6 and dont have an issue.

I seem to attract large pistols. This young man bought this as a backup gun for a Montana hunting trip. I stressed that this will not be a "quick draw" holster. But, it will still be with him when he gets to the top of whatever tree he manages to climb. I have found that barrels this long, with prominent front sights, have a very distinct draw and re-holster. He loves it. I'm happy, and he wants a gun belt, and now a drop leg for this one. I also made a 6 rd loop slider for the left side of the chest strap. Have to study on drop legs now.

Waiting for finished pics. Looks great!

Nice addition! I use an approximately 40 oz wooden maul I bought at an antique store for $10. Must be maple or something, works very well. I have lusted for a 48 oz BK for a while.

Me either.
