Contributing Member Samalan Posted November 22, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) This is the second holster that I've made and the first attempt at a Mexican Loop. The holster is made for a Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum. The leather is from Roger Folmar from RJF Leather who was great to deal with and runs a great business with fantastic leather; I used 8oz lined with 6-7oz. Finish is vinegar rune topped with 50/50 acrylic resolene and edged with WYO Quik Silk. It was then polished out with Rix Neutral Boot Polish. This entire holster was machine stitched on a Cobra 4. The design was very heavily influenced by forum member Jim R. Simmons and his tutorial really helped when putting this together. Thanks to all for comments and criticism. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/J_Marchand132/IMG_9731.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/J_Marchand132/IMG_9730.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/J_Marchand132/IMG_9737.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/J_Marchand132/IMG_9727.jpg Edited November 22, 2012 by Samalan Quote

IngleGunLeather Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 +1. Looks very good. I need to get some of that Wyo Slick. Do you like it better than Gum Trag or anything else you may have used? Quote Ingle Gun leather
