Lobo Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 That looks like some serious leather for serious business. Wonderful job on the basket weave. What type of thread did you use? And- what's that silver finger-grooved piece on that pistola?? I'm not familiar with that model. Did they all come that way, or is that an add on of some kind? Great work- much to be learned and admired from. Nooj Thread is T270 (277 weight) bonded nylon, Linhanyl brand. The silver-colored accessory on the revolver is a Tyler T-Grip, designed for use with the standard grips to fill the space forward of the grip-frame for improved gripping qualities. Tyler Manufacturing has been in business for many years and recently went through a major reorganization. Similar products were offered by Pachmayr (shown on Katsass's Model 64 in his photo) and others. Oversized grips (target grips, combat grips, etc) became increasingly popular on revolvers through the 1970's and 1980's, probably cutting demand for grip adaptors, but such accessories were very common for many years.

Members mattsh Posted August 10, 2011 Members Report Posted August 10, 2011 Lobo - as usual - very impressive. Your work has sooo.. made me a huge fan of this holster style. I have made 2 so far. One was for me as a range holster, the second went to my brother. Both for 6" S&W 19-3. I just had a guy at work ask about having one made for cross draw or maybe have a military flap style holster for trudging thru the woods or maybe both . Anyways, awesome job I really like seeing your Threepersons holsters as they are just a beautiful work of art.

Thanks also for the info about Tyler. I'm glad they made it back. I don't think that's waht the question you quoted was asking about, but FYI Tyler is back in business making and selling T-Grips. http://www.t-grips.com/ Edited August 11, 2011 by mlapaglia Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.
