[Gwturner]

Here is a holster that I hammered out for a customer last week.

Fits a S&W Airlite J-Frame 2" barrel .38

All hand cut, sewn, dyed, burnished, & sewn (not in that particular order.

Here is a video I made showing the retention:

Look, admire, criticize...

I like the rear stitch line it's different than what I've seen before

That was your polite way of saying "Been there, Done that" wasn't it?

[harley45]

No Sir I meant no disrespect at all. I'm use to seeing the line follow the contour of the gun. I really like your take a bit better. Apologies if I offended you.

[Gwturner]

Brother it didn't hurt my feelings at all...I thought it was a rather comical way of telling someone that you have seen that same design a million times.

I had the stitch line more contoured on my first prototype...but then I thought it would look neater the way it ended up.

Thanks for the compliment.

[BlingTheMerciless]

That is some very handsome work.

[kid terico]

That's some nice leather work your showing.. KT

[Gwturner]

Thanks for the compliments.

I like it! Nice work..

[Murray]

I LOVE that. Super clean, neat, elegant. I ran out of cool words so I will just say FRIGGIN SWEET!

[bwillielv]

Man I really like it! I haven't done much wet forming but what I have done hasn't come out anything like that.

[Gwturner]

That's guys!

I normally take about 1 1/2 hours to mold one...the leather seems to mold best between 45 minutes and 1 hour and 15 minutes.

[Nappers]

That is really nicely done!

I'd be proud to have that wrapped around my revolver!

Very nice. I love it. I can tell that you've been at this for some time. Rob
