Well, not bad for a first, Maybey could have been 1/8 inch looser on the barrel. The tallest sight I have ever worked around.

Hindsight, the ear is a little big and need to bring the rear slot in closer to the trigger guard.

I don't get where the retention comes from on the revolver though. It is still not 100% dry and is looser than I care for in a semi auto. Not sure what retention to expect in a revolver but this one is not snug at all.

Pointers???

Clean,

In the few revolver holsters I've made so far, most of the retention seems to come from where the leather forms around the rear end of the cylinder, so in the case of your pattern it would be on the body facing side of the holster. One thing to be aware of is that retention will become somewhat tighter when the holster is actually worn as the wing on the Avenger will draw the holster into the body. I've had to remake a holster because I was happy with the retention until I tried it on an drew the revolver ( more like tried to draw, LOL) It was clamped in so tight that I couldn't draw without significant force.
