Haven't Shared In A While

[JoelR]

Well, it's been months since I posted any pictures, so figured I'd show what I have progressed to - All with practice, willing guinea pigs, and the fine recommendations and advice from this forum. This started out as a proof of design (the black holster) and the final product but became a his (freshwater shark) and hers (left-handed black Wickett & Craig) for matching his and hers Browning Highpowers. The black was thrown together to check for dimensional accuracy and to ensure I liked where the stitches ran and was machine stitched. The Freshwater shark was the adjusted version and all hand stitched. Unfortunately, although my leather working skills have improved, my picture taking skills have not...

And the money shot:

Be proud! They both look good. As for the picture taking......baby steps!

JoeLR Very nice indeed. The stitching looks great, the re-enforcement is uniquely in the reverse of most makers and the edging is super. I like the shark piece the best but both are stellar!!!! Semper-fi Mike

Thanks for the compliments. The reinforcement strap being on the trigger side is a client request. I believe he said it was based on a holster that used to be made by Milt Sparks called the Roadrunner

Looks great! I really like the edging as well.
