Trying to copy the best, my rendition of an Ernie Hill speed holster for my 617. Steel lined with 2 layers of 10 ounce leather.
I'm still working on the strap side so no picture of the back. I just need to figure the correct angle.
Everything is hand done including the stitching, molding and forming the steel. Well, forming the steel was foot done. I had to stand on the holster to bend the metal to start shaping it then I needed a vice to get the right dimensions. I may install tension screws but right now it doesn't appear to need them.
