that is NIIIICE!

those are nice!

if they are hard pullers and may hurt something or someone if let loose i wouldn't trust that handle, those rivets aren't going to last with a big dog. I have American bullies and i wouldn't dare try to hold them with the handle as it is now. Just my opinion but i feel the need to warn you before hand.

welcome neighbor from about 150 miles west. So did you get your Elk?

Well friend its the day for cooking and eating here in the states!!!! woot!!! Wishing you well and hope your day is going as well as mine. 15lb. Turkey, stuffing is just the beginning two pies ,dinner rolls, gravy with giblets, And Home made sangria from my chokecherry wine. yum fruit salad, sweet potatoes. OMG spinach dip and chips to start out, deviled eggs. My wife wanted a small dinner this year LOL.

beautiful work you have really improved using your own personal style. That's how an artist works. Have a great Turkey day my friend!!

Holy crap!!!!!!! Hope you are feeling better those things are ten steps above painful.

i guess i 'm glad i never went down the instagram river. As for social media i used it for awhile now due to some people actually waking up and revealing it for what it is, a social mind f@#K to destroy any civility in life between free thought, I don't use it anymore. don't need someone playing with algorithms in my grey matter like a cat in a sand box. Never been kicked off a forum but i have pissed a lot of thin skinned folks who cant handle the truth too, even on this forum. You see folks all the bad guys aren't locked up in fact very few are and the worst of them know how to play the regular joe, naïve joe, to the hilt. Sadly that's most of the population on the planet. Normal folks refuse to understand that concept just because they cant understand it. Bottom line is social media has created this new form of narcissism that we now deal with daily, lying , cheating, multiple personalities, fake accounts, trolls, spammers, hackers. Very few good places like this forum exist on something that should be so profound as the www, its been destroyed by greed. Kindness, sincerity and honesty have been destroyed by bots and algorithms and money.

you worry to much, that thing is awesome and is pure art from the heart IMO. I've never seen the movie but i can say your artistic ability is very good..

you make some really nice stuff I don't see you having a problems starting a full time shop and being successful.

i saw him in my back yard yesterday.

WOW that is an awesome case!!!

yup you sure can lol i just realized and remembered my childhood shooting technique from my picture. i would thumb the first shot as i was drawing then follow up with the other hand fanning it. my old thumb is still ready 50+ years later. i guess muscle memory never forgets even if i do.

One of my first and the most cherished firearms is a fanner, back in the day i could hit six silver dollars thrown simultaneously lol. That reminds me i need to make a new holster.

lol we will give half what its worth then sell it in our online shop for triple what we paid and you can handle all the manufacturing problems oh and direct ship also. thank you !! I do hope you are wrong and they are a standup company but i couldn't find any links to newsafetyideas.com

you will need to get a picture of his brand and how he draws it, they are very personal and sometimes don't even look like they sound. You can also get it from the brand inspectors website of your state if you know his name and such. BUT i would ask him personally to get you a picture so you get it right the first go around.

beautiful looking indeed and wonderful lettering.

here is a really interesting video on fast draw holsters.

LOL if i were to put myself through that torture i would try rawhide first, at least it wet forms.

then good luck i am sure you can repair it into serviceable condition. I would measure the thickness of the old piece and get the same thickness. I would also think there may be a leather craftsman some where close that could spare a piece and some rivets and barter or buy from them or a local Tandy store will have adequate leather, then you would get the right stuff. Seven months wait time??? wowzers.

man your work shines as always!!!

I don't usually open pictures but i did yours , the front is no problem, the leather on back needs replaced it has dried out and dry rotted, you wont be able to save it the top layer is gone. Its the important part that holds your gun to your belt so replace it completely. With that being said you have to take that piece off, remove the rivets, and if it has been properly glued you might ruin the second piece as well while getting them apart. Then after the repair you will need to add some nfo or water proofing because it is so dry. it wont ruin the form it will save the leather from further dry rot. now on the front and re sealing it, you can do it like you wanted to and you may even think about a good black shoe polish instead of carnuba that's what the military and most cops used on those to keep them looking good. Repairing it is doable imo but...… by the time you buy all the leather, rivets, glue, dye, stains, conditioners, and sealers. what will you have? Here's the deal on "restoration", if you want to restore it to functionality you will have more money and time in it than its really worth and you will ruin any possible collectability. That was gone with the dry rot. Simply put you can buy a new holster cheaper or even find a good original hk holster cheaper. if you want to keep it as a collectable which it isn't really then leave it alone and don't use it, put it in a frame and enjoy it and buy a good safe holster for your awesome p7 you lucky dog.

polish em , sharpen and use.

here is what i know about them. The old fast draw rigs for competition started out on tv to help the star actors out shoot their bad guys. The steel, Rawhide or fiberglass insert allowed the revolver cylinder to rotate while still in the holster allowing the single action revolver to be cocked while being pulled. then along came fast draw competition that used them for the same reason. Other than that there is no real reason to use them on edc holsters. Other companies use spring steel inserts to help hold guns secure in open sided holsters to enhance the draw also. These are used on edc holsters.

with the knowledge you already have on how orders are placed and when. i could see you making a run for an order just shortly before the order was placed so you wouldn't be setting on money but you would have a leg up to ship faster. I don't know this part but your problem may be getting the beds to the ships while in port so starting after the order is placed may not work well.
