Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted April 15, 2008 Members Report Posted April 15, 2008 Hey folks. I finally started making belt holsters for revolvers and I thought I would post a few pics of my latest OWB snub-nosed revolver holster (for a S&W 642 w/CTG). It is a 15 degree forward cant holster made with hidden loops for a 1.5" belt. The throat band is also backed with sheet steel at the customer's request. It took me several tries before I came up with a belt loop pattern that I liked, but I'm really happy with the way this one performs. Comments/critiques are always welcome. Quote

Members usmc0341 Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 Nice holster as always! Quote
Members Temporary Posted April 17, 2008 Members Report Posted April 17, 2008 nice gun, nice grip, and nice holster. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 17, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 17, 2008 Nicely done, the surface is a little to krinkly for my taste but as they say, what lola wants, lola gets. (wonder why they don't make movies like that anymore) LOL Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted April 17, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 17, 2008 Boom, Nice design and consistantly fine work. When you use a steel band, how close to the steel do you sew? Or, do you use thin enough guage that you sew through?

Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted April 17, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Here's one without the Krinkles, Jordan (It's for a Taurus 651and features a 10 degree cant. I made this one first as a test pattern) Regis, I try to stay about 1/8" inside of the seem with the reinforcement. I have been tempted to go right through it but I don't want to change needles that often. Edited April 17, 2008 by BOOMSTICKHolsters Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 17, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 17, 2008 The unkrinkly one is a beauty. LOL Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted April 18, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 18, 2008 It's for a Taurus 651and features a 10 degree cant. But...but....that's a SMITH!!!!! You tryin' to rub some S&W goodness into the holster for the Taurus to soak up??? Yes, I know...it's a snubbie, not a Ferrarri. It'll fit just fine. Nice work, and unlike Jordan, I don't mind 'crinklely' on a holster. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members AmmoHouse Posted April 19, 2008 Members Report Posted April 19, 2008 Looks nice! What is it lined with? How the retention? If its not too much trouble, how about putting it on and taking a picture. That way we can see what it looks like worn. Quote
Members Shorts Posted April 19, 2008 Members Report Posted April 19, 2008 lol..."krinkly" Nice work on the holster Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted April 19, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 19, 2008 AmmoHouse, The holster is lined with horsehide. The retention turned out perfect; I could shake the gun in the holster up-side down and it didn't budge, but the revovler came smoothly out easily during the draw. I would take a picture if I could, but it is half way across the country from me (the pictures iwere sent to me by the customer). Quote
Members AmmoHouse Posted April 20, 2008 Members Report Posted April 20, 2008 I like the design. Thats what made me to start playing with leather, I've grown tired of buying stuff that I should be able to make. I'm still new at it though, so I'm still in the coaster/wallet making stage! Quote
