Double Daddy Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Been a while since I posted anything...let me know what's what, folks! First, a two-tone Avenger style holster for a 3 1/2" Ruger Bisley stainless steel Blackhawk 44mag (Lipsey Exclusive)...Saddle Tan with Basket Weave stamping over Dark Brown and White Thread...with a hammer thong and 2" belt slots. A special thanks to Clay Miller for the new stamp used on this holster...his ever-expanding line of tooling far exceeds my meager skills. Next, is a field holster for a Ruger Blackhawk 41mag..Saddle Tan with White Thread...simple oil finish...very rustic. Dual belt loop design allows for strong side or cross draw carry. Finally, a simple hand-sewn knife sheath for a Sharp (Japan) skinning/hunting knife...Saddle tan with White Thread. As always, I appreciate the input!

harnessman Report post Posted October 24, 2014 Love the contrasting re-enforcing/overlay look. Nice clean lines. Thanks for sharing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double Daddy Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks, doubleh!...Bianchi's Cyclone was the inspiration for this one but I changed the loop design a bit and did my own front shield. It didn't even need the snap closure...retention is REAL good...but the customer insisted...give 'em what they want, I guess. I like how it turned out...gonna do one similar for my own Ruger Bisley 45LC pretty soon...but with a little more embellishment. Hey, harnessman...I appreciate the compliment! This holster took me a little while to do..still a newb! The hammer thong was completely redundant...even off the belt, this holster has EXCELLENT retention on the weapon...but, once again, customer preference ruled the day. In this case, it kinda added a bit of charm to the piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelawman01 Report post Posted November 19, 2014 I would really like to try something like the thumbreak you did for the 41mag as my first or second holster. I'm thinking about a beltslide for my first holster. I haven't decided yet. Excellent work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
