jethro1200 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Hi forum members. I told my uncle "No problem, I will find a holster for your King Cobra." After looking at every gun store in town I discovered that no one seemed to make a holster for it since the gun was no longer made. Since I had told him I would I was obligated to do it. So I followed the only course open, my wife and I sat down and built the holster that is pictured here. We just needed an excuse to learn holster making anyway. If any of you have any ideas to improve our next attempt please feel free to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Do you have a picture of the back. I find it interesting that you say this is your first holster, hoever you list holsters as your specialty:). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt Hammerless Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Oooooooooooohhh, a King Cobra. I always thought those were such a nice looking .357. You must have made at least one prototype I bet, that stitch line looks just right! Welcome to the forum BTW! Camano Ridge, I think he's just putting that as the type of leather work he'd like to specialize in. I did the same thing when I first signed up, and hadn't even cut into a piece of leather yet.

jethro1200 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 The reason the stitch line worked is someone told me to mould the gun to the rough cut holster and then sew it, hard to mess up with a line to follow. I added a picture of the back. The next holster I make like this i think a wooden block to shape the belt loop might help. Any opinions on shaping the belt loop?
