Thanks Dwight. That is great information. I want the revolver to fit snugly but not tight. It needs to come out easily with no binding and to be re-holstered quickly without having to look at the holster. As you might guess, this will be used in cowboy action shooting where timing is critical. I will take your advice and look for the Bianchi videos.

From someone new to leatherwork, I have a couple of questions about making Western single action holsters. a> When a lining is required, should the entire lining area or just the edges be glued to the outer leather? b> Should border tooling be done before or after attaching the lining? c> The upper lip of the holster needs to be rolled outward. How is this accomplished?
