It could have been for any number of bending ,pressing or light stamping applications in just about any thing from tin and light metal to leather and it still can be lol.

Thank you for that it says springtime all over it.

its in the percussion pistol pattern pack I think tandy still has it in their library. Its a civil war era holster

Love the holster it should work well for driving.

Your right that is the good thing, likely i; m sure but it doesn't I know cause i have one or two. Anyway one thing i do know from actually making and using my design and looking at his is that the top flap hinders the reload more than anything, and it is the primary reason either style would rotate up on the belt not the speed loaders them selves they are not in tight, at least mine aren't it should be a one handed operation. You may notice my top flap is long enough it hangs a bit below the bottom allowing easier manipulation of the snap and flap, think upside down thumb break. The hand comes up from the bottom unsnapping and moving the flap at the same time. Unlike the Velcro on his the snap is much easier to unfasten so doesn't pull the holster with it. As you can see by the temporary attachments I did spend some time thinking and working this out. Make the snap tongue to long and it catches on stuff, make it to short and its not easy to open. if you want it stiffer then use heavier leather on the back strap. Just other options and ideas the man can use or not that's what the forum is for right?

My daddy had a saying "its your house you can paint it any color you want", i stand by that saying too.

it would be a biiig cat to piss on a whole hide, cutting off the bad spots might work too.

that is a nice looking case by all means.

larger than a 44? eek lol.

thank you. that was the prototype lol. They look much nicer when done completely.

YW they work well for extra black powder cylinders also.

vinegar kills the smell of cat piss somewhat dont know what it does to leather though. on any of the ideas test before committing.

you can make these out of strap with no waste, no fancy cutters in minutes, just my opine but those are way overthunk!

well done! I would need three pairs of glasses to make those. lol

more likely old age. that picture has to be 60 year old at least. Yea i make mine from two pieces of strap.

here is how i make them . With a double thick flap on the back. it can be used without a belt also just by sliding the flap inside you waistband or into a pocket. I don't make the flap on the larger phones go all the way to the bottom of the case but they work just as well.

That is some serious sewing, you did good.

exactly!! competition wont go away we are faced with in every aspect of life really. Apply for a job and your competing, want a promotion? compete! What makes world class athletes the best? The challenge of competition! Don't fear it, embrace it, challenge it, elbow your way in and do what it takes.

I have to agree i wouldn't chance it. I had a cousin dropped his 22 pistol once, shot himself in the guts. Only takes one accident with a pistol to die and there is no use creating a possible problem when there is no need to! Do yourself a favor sew it on and take the extra few seconds to unbuckle your belt and put it on. It will look exactly the same but it will be safe AND it looks really good !

Heck yea thats a nice sheath.

But not so good of an ending Modern corrections dont allow for much of that anymore, including hobbies, it is to bad really. These people get out and some become your neighbors. Now they get out no better than when they went in. Keeps corrections in business. Back in the day we had a complete auto shop ,welding ,machinery, electronics shops, carpentry, upholstery all state certified educational courses and shops for inmates. We also had a license plate facility textiles facility laundry ,facility maintenance, kitchen and bakery for work type jobs. it all went away one day when three tried to escape and killed an officer. Every inmate was locked down, the "Department of corrections" was created a big stir was raised and we built a new prison about a quarter mile away and moved. And most all that equipment is still sitting there in an abandoned building. Sorry for the deviation from topic all.

I'll tell you another little story about competition. Back in the day here in Wyoming prison inmates could do hobbies. Our prison had an inmate that ran a leather shop, he had about 6 other inmates employed for him and together they sold thousands of dollars worth of leather goods. Yes if you bought leather in Jackson Hole Wyoming back in the 80s and 90s it was inmate made. I've personally seen those store owners fill up their cars with leather and other products at the pen. That guy made over 60 grand a year and sent it all home to his family. Even before that leather goods were sold at the prison, that is gone now in Wyoming but other prisons still allow hobby work and they sell it.

i was making my own beer for a while too but i couldn't keep up with myself.

with almost 8 billion people on earth there is enough market to go around. They wont starve so you can flourish just that simple IMO. and why they call it competition.
