Pappys Leather Report post Posted February 24 I want to try adding spots to some of my old west holsters. I haven't been able to find any instructions. Would I need to add a lining? Any help would be appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would definitely reccomend lining the holster after the spots were added. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thadrick Report post Posted March 8 I always line my holsters regardless. The rough side of leather is hard on the finish of the pistol. I just started using dots, I've never liked too much bling but am starting to see the benefits. I've been using domed rivets but be prepared to buy twice as many as you think your going to need and keep in mind, they always seem to be in low quantities when I need some. Another thing to remember is to keep them positioned far enough away from the foot of your sewing machine so you don't crush them. Ask me how I know that. I've had to hand stitch in some areas because they were too close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
