JRCHolsters Report post Posted December 1, 2012 I am always amazed at the grain of the holsters made from Horsehide, but this one really stands out. It is a P-1 Modified for the HK P30. It is Cordovan with Burgundy Highlights and Shark trim. Almost didn't want to send this one out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BEARDOG Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Wow! that is awesome grain. Where do you get your horsehide from? I just got some to try from Springfield but it don't look anything like that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRCHolsters Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Thank You, Benlilly, I appreciate it. Beardog, I bought a batch from Maverick Leather out of California. They got a shipment in from the tanner of hard rolled hides for me. I bought quite a few and i would say about 50% were like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiefjason Report post Posted December 2, 2012 I'm not a fan of horsehide. Just a personal thing. But that hide is stunning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRCHolsters Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks, It really is nice hide. It's a little tricky to get it to show up like this. I usually dye in two steps. Burgundy before and after molding. let it dry hard and the a light coat of Cordovan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
