  1. The holsters are for guns with a 7.5” barrel. Both holsters are the same size. Just the angle. Clint Eastwood’s Remingtons he is so known for have 8” barrels and his Walkers from Outlaw Josie Wales are 9” barrels so it’s very much in line with what Clint would have used as far is length goes.
  2. Here is my latest pair of holsters that I just finished. They are made for 1851 Navy Colts. They are right hand strong side and right hand cross draw. Done in 10oz veg tan leather.
  3. I second this. Totally has me where I did not buy another round knife. I supposed I should try another of better quality.
  4. Thanks. Def. had Texas in mind when doing it. Thank you. Thank you. It does take time as with most things in dealing with leather work.
  5. I just found a roll of it fairly cheap locally so I decided to try it out. It does make for a nice soft interior though that don't mark up as easy. I like it.
  6. The holster is fully suede lined. The snap backs and rivet for the strap are sandwiched between the leather and the suede. Nothing comes in contact with the gun. Normally when I line a holster I stitch all the way around but since this one is for personal use I wanted to just seal up all the edges, slick them and see just how well they hold up with barge. Kind of an experimental holster for my own personal knowledge.
  7. Ended up picking up a little Heritage Rough Rider .22/.22mag combo and need a holster for it. I finished this one up and wore it all day yesterday while performing ranch duties. Feels great in a right hand strong side and a cross draw position.
  8. Excellent. I am really wanting to try a chest holster but haven't tackled the design part yet.
  9. Thanks. It's a classic design and the 1911 has the two external safeties. Its a safe design for this pistol but would not want to see it in a holster for something like a Glock. Thanks Pastor Bob.
  10. Thanks Dwight. As for the Hurricane, my house made out okay. Office power will be out 4-6 weeks so it's giving me a chance to work on leather more. Lots of people near me have it far worse. Thanks for asking.
  11. Here is my latest completion. It is a Texas Ranger inspired holster done in the classic Tom Threepersons Style. I did a basketweave star pattern on it with a Texas Ranger style badge on the front. It rides at an angle that fits good at the 4-5 o'clock position.
  12. Thanks. They are a pair of my favorites......the shooting irons that is.
  13. Thanks everyone. The holster on the left side is a right hand cross draw. The shooter will be shooting both guns with his right hand in cowboy action matches. Draws first revolver from his strong side and fires his shots then reholsters. Then he reaches across his body and draws the left holster with his right hand and fires those rounds and reholsters.
  14. Wanted a period style rig for my Open Top revolvers so I made this.
  15. Just finished up these two holsters and thought I would share them here.
  16. Nice job. My son has been wanting me to do something like that on a pair of Hey Dudes. Would share a pattern?
