Members BlackDragon Posted August 26 Members Report Posted August 26 (edited) I had a customer come in wanting a holster for Heritage Rough Rider .22. The pistol has a beautiful set of wooden red grips. He wanted a cross draw holster so he could carry it around as a mouse gun while he's working on his property. I used 10oz vegtan. The dye is Fiebing's Pro yellow with just a little brown to give it a deeper golden color. Finished with Resolene 50/50 Edited August 26 by BlackDragon Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 27 CFM Report Posted August 27 Cool build indeed, I've never used a welt on a holster myself and never understood the purpose? Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

Members BlackDragon Posted August 27 Author Members Report Posted August 27 Thanks all. I add a welt because it allows for a snug fit without over stressing or warping the leather. There is also less stress on the stitching when drawing and reholstering. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 27 CFM Report Posted August 27 Interesting reasons. I haven't seen either problem in holsters without a welt, but that doesn't mean much. It'll sure be stiff lol. Anyway cool build my friend.

Members DocReaper Posted August 27 Members Report Posted August 27 (edited) The thing you call a Welp I think I call a spine, I used one when I built a holster for a Smith & Wesson 40 Cal Magnum and it actually helped support the trigger housing. If anything else, you can use it as a club. Edited August 27 by DocReaper Grammer Quote Doc Reaper

I used a thick welt on a pocket carry holster, so the holster stays, and the gun comes out. It worked great because the welt was 13/16" thick with the leather reversed, rough side out. It worked out great. Quote
