Dwight Report post Posted May 12, 2023 Stunning is my first thought . . . beautiful is my second . . . I am also partial to the contrasting stitching . . . something I do as much as I can on the projects I do. My only detrimental comment would be the suicide strap . . . a personal note is I hate em . . . do my best to talk the new owner into a thumb break But the strap does look good on it . . . And I really like the mottle on the holster body itself May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted May 12, 2023 I did have one question though . . . where is the "shoulder" part of the holster that was in the title of the post?? May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littlef Report post Posted May 12, 2023 Wow, that is cool. I dig it. Note to self: Gotta go down to the creek and see if I can find me a monitor lizard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hags Report post Posted May 15, 2023 Very nice, but not a fan of the strap. But, it's not mine, so ..... Shoulder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I could figure out how to edit the shoulder out, I would! Ha! I’m not there yet on this online thing. The strap is where my bud wanted it, but should it need changing I’m prepared for that. Never know it was there. However, I respect your thoughts on that. And would be more than welcoming to advice on holster builds. Truth be known, I haven’t made but a few, and every time I’ve tried to get constructive criticism I’ve gotten holier than thou attitude. I really don’t know the ins and outs of holsters, but I’m not to proud to listen to those that do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most of the folks here are more than willing to "help out" with a question . . . and I'm not really sure any that I run with have a "holier than thou" attitude . . . or if they do . . . I haven't yet found it. But again . . . let us help you . . . holler when you have a question . . . we'll see what we can conjure up for you.

Hags Report post Posted May 18, 2023 I get it. I've built some strange stuff for folks. But, not my circus, not my monkees! You want the strap, cool. I used to hang out on South Padre when I was stationed in Beeville in the early 70's. 67 Chevy pickup with a parachute camper tent! Life was so much cheaper then. Beer too! Good to see you posting. It takes a bit to get used to the editing part, but your on your way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garyak Report post Posted May 19, 2023 Thanks guys, and I in no way was referring to any criticism given on this forum. Nothing but good advice here for sure. All aspects of the craft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
