BruceGibson Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 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."

SCOUTER Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 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! Quote

Members Rhome Posted August 9, 2008 Members Report Posted August 9, 2008 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 ! Quote www.desbiensgunleather.com
Members Rayban Posted August 9, 2008 Members Report Posted August 9, 2008 Great looking holster...I'm tired of whining about Fiebings dyes, so i won't.....but i do like the workmansship......molding is outstanding.... Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Leather Bum Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Bruce, That's a very cool-looking holster. I really like the color and stitching. Can we see a picture of the back, please? Thanks for posting this. . . L'bum Quote
BruceGibson Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Posted August 9, 2008 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. Quote "Don't squat with your spurs on." www.GibsonLeather.com
Randyc Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 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?

Randy 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: Kramer Gunleather Quote "Don't squat with your spurs on." www.GibsonLeather.com
