Lcr Pancake Holster

[Haystacker]

I thought this LCR pancake holster turned out well. It is the factory dyed mahogany leather from RJF leather.

I make a lot of the 2 tone holsters using the mahogany leather and then air brushing the edges with the Tandy Pro water stain black. But this LCR holster looked so good plain I just had to finish it this way.

Nice looking set, and I really like the color.

Very nice! I would really like to see the back of the speedstrip holder to see how it attaches to the belt. I have been wondering about ordering from RJF. I have been scared about buying leather sight unseen, but that looks to be some very nice quality. Mind if I ask what weight you are using?

Nice job, Jeff. How do you like the waterstain out of the airbrush? Any problems? Thinned or straight?

Very nice Haystacker! Love the color too. Do you use any of RJF's Walnut, or Havana skirting?

Schwebel- The pouch is pretty simple. It wraps around the belt. When you open the pouch, the quick strip almost pops into your hand. The holster is 7/8 and the pouch is 6/7.

Sooper - I have been using the waterstain for at least a year. It works better than anything else. On this holster rig, I just used the drum dyed leather, oiled and then finished. I did use the Tandy pro edge paint. It works much better than the Febings edge. Actually I will not use Febings again. I either dye the edges with the water stain or I use the pr edge stuff.

Colt - I bought a back of each color. I like all of the colors. But I sell mostly black, 2 tone mahogany and black or mahogany.

When i've put waterstain on an edge, in particular, a black edge on a natural belt, I could see a faint creeping of the fluid (water I assume) out from the edge into the surrounding leather. It ends up looking like a waterstain to me. Just a fine line along the black. Not sure how to prevent that other than going back to spirit dye on the edge, which burnishes better anyway I have found.
