My first rhodesian holster

[Stetson912]

I like how this came out. Simple design but kind of unique. 1911 rhodesian holster in show brown. This leather is heavier than i like at about 9 oz. But it still works.

Nice. They're deceptive in that they're simple, but the devil is in the details.

Yes, the hardest part is stitching near the belt loop. My presser foot is realy wide, I should have swapped it out for mt left toe foot. The loop causes the holster to not lay flat so get some deflection sometimes. Probably my inexperience with my outlaw machine. Definitely going to try again

I like the design. It's the next step more coverage from a Yaqui Slide.

Nice work!! high and tight holster.

I've found you can make your life easier (i.e., get some breathing room around the stitching) by being sure to run the rear flap straight down the body of the holster; requires tweaking where it folds, of course, but it's doable.

Yup, it looks comfortable but I havent tried it on yet. Shame on me haha. If I wasn't in arizona (where wearing long garments is much frowned upon) I'd consider it for daily carry. I still could, AZ is open carry too. But I dont much care for broadcasting like that. Just me I suppose

@larry1096 I see your loop design. it looks more maneuverable than mine. Its narrower at the fold so you can move the "ears" out of the way. Ill have to tweak my pattern to reflect that. Looks good
