Justinlee Report post Posted January 19, 2013 I dont post here much at all but i figure since ive learned all i know from lurking ill start showing off some of my finished work. I made this rig for my Smith & Wesson model 10 3". It's my first holster. It's retention is nice right now but I think it's gonna loosen up a bit because i made the lace line a tad farther from the gun than i wanted. I decided I wanted an old western look that can conceal easier. I went with a Will Gormley "hand of god" hammer tie down. It helps with the retention too. The floral pattern also sorta resembles that rig. Let me know what ya think. I used a vacuum press to mold it and I lightly boned in the shape of the pistol on the outside. It's lined with a soft pebble grain natural color leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RWP Report post Posted January 20, 2013 Looks very good. How was it lacing it up? I've been interested in trying to lace one up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justinlee Report post Posted January 20, 2013 Thank you all for the positive comments. RWP lacing is simple and I enjoy it more than hand stitching. I have made some solo motorcycle seats and a few wallets that I laced so it translates over to the holster quite easily. I do think I could have approached it from a different direction to make a cleaner lacing job. That just means I get to try again and do it better the next go round. Thanks Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattsh Report post Posted January 20, 2013 Looks really nice. Agree with your statement about needing to fit a little tighter. Excellent for your first holster. I like the lacing and the stamping. They look really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haystacker Report post Posted January 21, 2013 Geez. I've made many, many holsters. I don't think I have made one that looks as good as your first. Very nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
