Many thanks to everyone for the input and kind words.

Shorts, the slide-stop pin is there, I just didn't detail it (I didn't put the holster in the press). It shows up on this one as just a little bump.

Randy, the leather's Hermann Oak. It's all I use. I just have a heck of a time with the Fiebing's Light Brown Pro Oil Dye for some reason. Every holster I do comes out different--most of the time it's not a bad thing, but once in awhile they'll look completely "splotched."

I'm leaning toward "operator error."

Bruce, Beautiful job all around! Amazing stitching! I too have had blotching problems, in fact my last gun rig came out so un-even that I re-dyed the entire project BLACK. Now that seems to cover ok! :thumbsup:

Nice holster, I really like the bead line just outside your stitch line it adds something you don't usually see on a PC holster. Good Job !

Here's a shot of the backside. I guess I should have put it up from the start. Thank you again for all the nice words.

Bruce,

Nice looking holster. I too have problems with Fieblings light brown dye. My light brown turns out maroon and I've had the same problems with blotching. I guess I need to try deglazing a little better.

Do you use the dye full strength and if not, what do you cut it with?

Thank you, Randy. I haven't been cutting the dye--use it full strength. I did discover that it's not just me...on the Kramer Gunleather site, in their FAQ's they talk about the tan/light brown and what a roll of the dice it is. I believe they actually charge more for it because it is unpredictable. Here's a link to them--the question/answer is #39:
