Members DeWayne Hayes Posted January 6, 2024 Members Report Posted January 6, 2024 Ha ha! I work Veg-tan wet for my holsters, but the 8-10oz is as big as I've gone. Someday I'll get in the ring with the heavyweights! Quote

It wasn't bad, water and patience were needed when folding the holster. The positive side is it maintains its shape with little flex. Quote

AlZilla Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 Instead of stating the obvious things about the great look and workmanship, I'll say I appreciate the high res pictures so I can really zoom in on the details as I plot to steal some of them ... I've never done a double layer holster but I have some 5-6 oz leather that may be great for it. I like the smooth interior.

I am a little curious about the belt loop attachment, Does it bridge between the flap and holster? The whole rig makes me wish I was a cowboy so I'd have an excuse to wear it to town.

The whole rig makes me wish I was a cowboy so I'd have an excuse to wear it to town. Thanks Was wondering if anyone would pick up on it. The piece in the middle of the photo is to prevent the holster from shifting when drawing or holstering the gun. The holster still will slide on the belt, yet has little vertical play. It is 3 pieces of leather 2 for the shelf and one for the keeper all the same thickness as the belt. Quote
Members WalterF Posted January 7, 2024 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2024 Forgot to mention the piece is only secured by 2 rivets to the skirt (flap), to remove the holster from the belt easier undo the buckle and it comes right off. Quote

Thank you for the explanation. The whole thing is a study in functional simplicity.
