Colt .38 4" barrel

10 oz leather, briar brown stain, and briar brown gel antique for leaves. Funny that my photo was turned a 90, but it is the same holster

I like it!

I really like the Holster but if I may? I hate rivets, They can scratch the gun and they can pop out. Sewing the belt loop is much better IMHO.

[Bawarrior]

Bert good point, they possible could scratch but never pop out. thanks. I would welcome other peoples thoughts

Agree on not wanting the rivets to make any contact with the gun.  A lining might help there.  Having the flat side as you do facing the gun helps, but not 100%.  I do knife sheaths like this and it seems to work ok there, but most knives are not as expensive.  Sometimes I just stitch.  Would not expect a rivet of that nature to ever pop out when set well, and they look set well.

I really like the way the leaves fade into the back without a border.  Cool holster!

Very nice carving!

Love it!  I want to attempt a leaf carving on a future holster. (when I build up some skills, ...and my nerve to do it.)  May I ask what backgrounder you used?  was that a round backgrounder?

nice! thanks.  It makes a nice background, I bet it fits around every contour.
