Members Hags Posted September 14, 2022 Members Report Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I'm getting more of the larger handguns. This is a Ruger 44mag with a Leopold scope. I made the first one to cover the scope.it turned out nice, but he wanted an open top that left the scope uncovered. Well, now we're talking a lot of cow, but he said he'd take both so,,, here we are. I didn't feel that a regular pancake type holster would be stiff enough with an open top. So I went with about a 1/2 in welt on bottom to provide the stiffness I felt was needed. I had to change the attachment points to the rear andi think it came out pretty well. I hope to take more pics tomorrow, but we'll see. Edited September 14, 2022 by Hags Spelling Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

Members doubleh Posted September 14, 2022 Members Report Posted September 14, 2022 Great work on both. Quote
Members bladegrinder Posted September 18, 2022 Members Report Posted September 18, 2022 Great work! I have the same gun but I like the one that holds with out the scope. Quote
Members Hags Posted September 18, 2022 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2022 My favorite as well. I built up a 1/2 inch welt on the bottom to support the structure of the holster and made all the attachment points on a sewn in piece on the back. Quote Not so retired RN.

Members Dwight Posted September 18, 2022 Members Report Posted September 18, 2022 Those both look really good . . . especially the color . . . you should be proud of yourself on those. I did one several years ago . . . a .22 Ruger semi auto . . . bottom welt had to be 3/4 of an inch thick. My Boss sewing machine didn't like sewing stuff that thick . . . but it DID punch the holes . . . and I finished the sewing with a needle . . . 346 thread . . . and a BIG pair of pliers. Hopefully you didn't have that kind of hassle . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members Hags Posted September 19, 2022 Author Members Report Posted September 19, 2022 Thanks guys, these were a challenge. The open top more than the other. It ended up being almost 3/4 of an inch after the sides were put on. Fortunately, my cobra class 3 went through it, but I used a new needle and took my time. He loves them both.
