22 Revolver Holster

My latest attempt. Made for a friend of mine for a ruger single six. Also will fit Heritage rough rider 6-1/2 inch barrel.

Will be working next on shell belt for a revolver for any size shell 22-38.

That is a nice looking design. However I'll give you a tip that will make your tooling look a bit better: when you lay out your border cut your border line with your swivel knife and it will help keep everything inside where it needs to be when you use your border stamp. It makes it look much better. Also the skirt would look better if it was rounded instead of having a sharp corner.

Rohn, Thank you for your advice. I need all the help I can get. I didn't think about using the swivel knife to mark the border better and yes I should have rounded the bottom more, didn't think about it until I had started stamping, so I just left it.

dbitting,

Also I should tell you that I never cut the border with swivel knife towards the back of the holster where it folds around the barrel . I just scribe a straight line and follow that with the border tool. The reason being is that if it is cut it is liable to crack the leather where you bend it around the barrel of the gun.

I am just finishing up a couple of holstesr for the single six. It is a pretty popular gun and I sell quite a few of these holsters.

Rohn, if you don't mind, how much do you get for a holster like that?

I sent you a PM.
