Just finished up a matching leather S&W K frame belt and holster today.

It's all 9 ounce leather. The belt's hand stitched, double layer leather and I skived the end of the inner layer at the buckle end so it'll taper down rather than have an abrupt stop. All the hardware's solid brass. The leather's hand dyed, stitched, burnished and finished.

I've seen some leather holsters with welts, I kinda liked the way they looked. I decided to try a welt on this holster and I kinda like the way it looks.

Very nice, I did a holster for a Ruger Blackhawk as one of my first projects. I used a really thick welt and punched one hole at a time with a diamond awl. Stitching looked ok from the front but the back side was damn ugly. Holster is still usable but I need to do another nicer one one of these days. Punching those holes through that welt I found it almost impossible to keep the awl straight, I know there's a few people that use a drill press for this, I may give that a go on the next one.

Stu, patience and practice.

It's all punched and stitched by hand.There's one hole out of line and it's just buggin' me.

And I still think its intriccacy looks right at home with this leather.

The handles material kinda contrasts with the whole idea you had for the holster and belt in the first place.

Busy maybe ? I still thiink its a good job, I say congratulations ! --------------- Wild Bill46

Very very nice - I especially commend the edge work - smooth as a baby's bottom. :)
