First Holster

[ade]

I live in England and pistol were banned 13 year ago,but there are a few exceptions.

Some thing called a section 5 licence,you can have pistol for the humain dispatch of animals.

A guy at my gun club wanted a holster for his section 5 pistol.

This is work in progress.

I hope it fits,i had no blue gun.

I need also fit a snap on the top strap,and polish it a little.

I need to final fit with the guy's pistol,but i must confess i enjoyed making it.

That is excellent work! Take a look at the "first and last hoslter" thread and you will feel pretty good about your work.

No pistols, that sucks!

Ade:

Your workmanship clearly shows that you have mastered the craft. I can only wish that your nation will reconsider its course of restricting the liberties of the many in favor of those few who will abuse those liberties.

Best regards.

Thanks for kind words guys, it kinda sucks that we cann't have pistols in the UK.

We just replaced them with more shotguns and rifles,lots of guys shoot .44 and .357 lever actions.

I have retired ex-cop friend tha lives in California, i try to get over there once a year and have day a the range with his pistols.

I even took the CCW course last year and passed,but California won't give me a CCW as i'm not a resident(but i 've told i can get one in Florida).

As for my edge finish,i use brown liquid shoe polish after burnishing.

I just paint it on with my finger,it cheap and seams to work.

The only down side it my wife steals it for shoes.
