MADMAX22 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Posted April 25, 2010 Buddy at work wanted me to make him a holster for his little backup. Its for in the small of the back carry which is a little odd to make a holster for with this gun. He found one picture on line somewhere so I kind of went off that (not sure who made it). Ive got one more coming thats almost done that will have that stitching line straightened out. I dont know why I curved it up, I think my template I made I carried thru onto the leather work. HO 7-8oz, linen 6cord, dyed dkbrown with a little bit of added black and cordovan. Was playing with colors a little bit and it still needs work, I think if I had a airbrush it would be just about right. What you guys think? Quote
Members Rayban Posted April 25, 2010 Members Report Posted April 25, 2010 I like!! Nice solid looking....my style...looks like it will serve a life time. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks Rayban. yeah it should last a good long time. Well went ahead and tried a second attempt at it. Wanted to see if I could get the dye job a little better and do a little better at the stitching around the top of the slide area. I think I improved a bit. Here is the second one. Thanks for looking. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted April 26, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted April 26, 2010 Very nice design (and I agree with you on placement) overall. The second dye job looks good, and the edges are great. Quote
