A Couple Of Recent Sob Holsters

[JRCHolsters]

The first holster is the SOB-5. It is actually worn at 5 o'clock (7 in this case, as it's a lefty) Not over the spine. When i mold this, the butt of the gun is torqued inwards, so it doesn't protrude. This is for a Springfield Centurion, which is why the blue gun protrudes a bit.

The last is the BS-SSC. It is left handed version of a cross draw rig, designed to be worn at 5 o'clock also. This one hides a revolver really well.

Both are Horsehide with burgundy and cordovan finishes. All hand sewn.

I know a lot of folks bemoan this style of carry, but the customers like them and it takes no more practice than other modes of carry to draw from properly.

Jim, Very nice work indeed. I've neva worked w/horsehide but may have to bring it to the table soon...as lately I've seen some nice pieces on the forum. Again, very nice and being a "wheel-man" am especially impressed w/the revolver holster. Excellent color, also. Semper-fi Mike

Thanks Mike. I have always liked the way Horsehide looks. I typically use Burgundy before I mold the gun, then give it a coat of Cordovan afterwards. It gives it a great appearance and I can control the amounts of red based on what the customer wants. I think you will like working with it.

That's some gorgeous coloring on that 1911 holster, and a very attractive design and worksmanship.

Thanks Big O. I have always been drawn to the way Horsehide takes dye. It always reminds me of old fancy leather furniture.
