Not quite done, it needs to be dyed and finished. I thought it might be better to post pictures now in case I mess up on the final steps...
and it passes the "inversion" test
S&W model 442 is the same as model 642, just a different frame material. If you have access to a fax machine I can trace it for you and fax a copy. Shoot me a PM if interested...
Though I've been lurking here for awhile, this is my first post. I thought you all might want to see my first attempt at holster making, it's patterned after a style offered by Galco but not available for my specific firearm (S&W 625 w/5" barrel). The color is darker than I expected so I'll have to make another I guess...
BTW thanks for all of the good information here on leatherworker.net, my project actually turned out better than expected!
