Members Wade D Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 So, I've just finished my first holster. I haven't really done any other pieces, just practice pieces from scraps and coasters and that's really about it. This holster was from the Will Ghormley Hand of God rig pattern pack, and sized for my 1858 Remington. I left out the hammer thong (when did we start using those, anyway?) and the toe plug, since I didn't want to ruin what I'd made trying to sew it in (I completely ruined another holster I had tooled/colored when I tried stitching it before practicing stitching at all). I still need to do the belt and what-have-you, but I think the holster looks pretty nice. It isn't slam-bang creative or anything, nothing out of the ordinary, but I feel pretty good about it. Quote

Members Wade D Posted March 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks Robert and Rohn! I plan on making another, though I may go with heavier leather. Or I may line it, I'm not sure. Quote
Members camano ridge Posted March 13, 2014 Members Report Posted March 13, 2014 Looks, pretty good. The hammer thong, leg tie downs and Buscadero rigs primarily came about in early 1900's Hollywood. Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts

Members Wade D Posted March 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2014 Looks, pretty good. The hammer thong, leg tie downs and Buscadero rigs primarily came about in early 1900's Hollywood. Ah, I see. I've read that many of the actors hired for the roles in the early days of film were actual cowboys, and that that's how they wore theirs? Beautiful! Thanks! No way that is your first holster! Great job. Looks very clean with crisp lines. Very impressive. Technically it's my first complete holster, but it sure is. And thank you! Nice.. for sure line the next one.. My wife looks at my unlined holsters and goes WHY? I definitely should have lined it. I got all sorts of very fine bits of leather on my gun and it needed cleaned. I made another, for a .38 spl, and I lined that one and I think it looks pretty good. Excellent job. Just starting my 1st holster this week, I hope its half as nice as yours. Thank you, that really ups my confidence in making these! ~Wade Quote
