Holster #2

[Bingo]

Let me know what you think. The one thing I have a problem with is how I didn't make the stitching follow the lines of the gun around the trigger guard. Oh well...I learn as I go. I'm much happier with how the edges turned out.

Nice looking holster. After glueing, I use a holster press for my initial forming. I press the dry leather around the pistol and draw out my stitch lines. Once the stirch lines are drawn out, I flatten then stitch the holster. One I've finished the stitching, I wet the leahter and do my wet molding.

Thank you for the tip. I was wondering if I should form before stitching. I just wonder if I'd be able to get the gun into the dry leather - it was pretty tight even after it got wet (haha, that sounds wrong). Also, short of a holster press, is there any other way to form it?

Bingo looks good, very functional IMO that's what counts. Randyc, lets hear more about this holster press.

Thought I might share this link about presses. Enjoy,
