Iwb For Walther Tph .22 Lr

[particle]

I made this for a friend at work to carry his Walther TPH .22 LR. He had an idea what he wanted, so I helped him put it on paper. I made a mock-up first, and this is the final product with a few tweaks (the first one was too loose). Made from 5-6 oz Herman Oak, oiled, then sealed.

A tip of the hat to you sir. That is one nice looking holster. Really great work. I like the look but do not understand the opening on the end of the barrel

well done.

If I'm not mistaken, the opening allows the user to push the gun up from the barrel, to get a full grip on a "deep" concealed weapon.

Nice!

Thanks fellas!

Sixer is correct - he actually wanted the gun to ride below the belt, but I convinced him he probably wouldn't be able to draw the gun since it would snag on the bottom of his belt. We landed on mid-way up the width of the belt. The notch in the leather is so he can push up on the tip of the barrel to raise the gun above the top of the belt so he can grab it. He won't be able to get a combat grip on it - probably just enough to pull it out with his thumb. But, it's what he wanted and he was very happy with the prototype. He hasn't see this one yet, as I won't see him till tomorrow, but I think he'll be very happy with it.

Fantastic take on the old "push up" holsters! Well done and very professional.
