S&w 44Mag Holster

[Go2Tex]

This is a very VERY sweet looking cannon. I will admit that shooting it more than twice would be at the bottom of my list, unless it was into a bad guy....

You better hope you don't need more than 2 rounds from that piece in a bad guy. If you did, his name would probably be Griz.

Seriously...

I have shot a 4 inch 44 magnum and a 44 special...

The Special was easy and not bad at all...

But a friend handed me his 44 magnum and a hand full of shells telling me to try it out. I shot three rounds and handed it and the unfried shells back and said done..

Hey if were showing off our 44s here, can I post mine? S&W 629-6 3" ported barrel . Most people only shoot it once. I dont call it a range day unless I've ran 120 rounds through it. Note the .50AE ammo in the background

Another nice S&W, this looks like the one I shot though it wasn't ported and it had rubber grips on it. I've been wanting a 625 cut for moon clips for a while now. Surprised how many 629's I come across but not any 5" 625's,

Well finished the second try at this guy. This one is in horse (the ones from springfeild). I think it overall turned out a little better. Doesnt look any better lol but function wise its a little better. Forgot about covering up a little more of the cylinder like you guys had mentioned but ah well. Maybe next round.

I think I could have forgone the reinforcement on the front but wanted to give that a try. It is already so thick whats another layer of 6-7oz leather right ...... I think next round it will be left off. I think I will have him try this one out for a while and give me feed back on how it performs and go from there. The best opinion is from actual user response right.

Thanks for all the input previously.

Oh and the extra holes are so he can move the straps down a half inch. May help and if not it doesnt hurt.

Thanks guys appreciate the complimants, yeah like the horse natural. it wears reaLly nice over time

[Reaper]

Very nice for sure...

I noticed something the other day after leaving some Horse trimmings on a table outside the other night.

The dew in the morning had wet the leather and the sun dried it out each night for a number of days before I actually got around to picking it all up off the table.

It had turned a deeper richer saddle tan color with a light red tint to it, I think I am going to actually do this with enough horse butt to make a holster out of and skip any type of dying.

Max from the looks of that there holster it should carry that BIG revolver easily and with comfort too!

Funny you mention that Reaper, I made my fiancee a credit card holder out of horse and she ended up washing it and drying it lol. Well it is died brown but looked ten times better after the wash and dry then it did when I gave it to her. Had to throw some oil on it but other then that it seemed just fine.
