Second attempt holster

[yuma]

This is my second 1911 holster.....lined / double leather, black strap to match gun, 12ga shell because this is a three gun match...12ga shotgun, 1911 45ACP, and 40 cal + lever gun.

Very clean looking.  Great job!

You can add just one tiny thing to make the whole rig just a bit sharper looking.

Whether you use rivets or chicago screws . . . put them thru the outside piece of the leather for attaching the little belt around the holster .

Doing that will get rid of the unsightly screw heads and rivet heads on the back side of the holster.

Not a serious critique . . .  just one of those things that will separate sellers . . .  especially if you are at a show or something . . .  where others there are showing their wares.

You can show that your holster is "cleaner" looking . . . which can result in an extra sale . . . and a slightly higher selling price.

Also if you use a buckle . . . put a keeper on the little belt . . . or use a closed buckle . . . makes it look more realistic . . . and again . . . just one of those things that sets you apart from the run of the mill makers and sellers.

Always remember that even the slightest "upscale" idea can push your wares out if front of the crowd.  John Bianchi here in the states was the guy who perfected that idea.  He could almost have designed a cardboard box to carry your gun in . . . and would have had 100 sales sight unseen.

May God bless,
