Hey Frank, I would like to see a picture of your conceal holster for a SA ...anyone else have pics? it's great to get different ideas! Thanks Much!

Here is another attempt at a left handed holster. This time a conceal holster for a single action revolver. I'm not really happy with it. I mean it works good and does what it's meant for but it just seems ummmm well errrr It can be used as a cross draw or on the side. It was fun to make and i really enjoy molding the leather and the gun sits in there tight but not so tight you can't pull it out when you need to. I think i may have to try another! Anyone else ever try to make a single action conceal holster?

Thank you for the compliment! It means a lot! I still have a longgggggggg ways to go with all this! Here is what i read about boiling leather..it's hardens itm but you really need to be careful with how long you put it in the hot water! http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~Marc-Carlson/leather/hl.html

After 3 tries i'm getting close. The first one i did I didnt make it tall enough and the stitching was in the wrong places. The second one i put in boiling water and left it in wayyyyy to long and it cooked like a piece of meat!! This is the 3rd one....it's getting better but i'm not sure if i should have had it in the hot water just a little bit longer because it's not as firm as the other pervious holsters turned out but i think the stitching and design is getting a lot better! BTW this is a left handed crossdraw style holster. Critique welcome!
