Lobo Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Working with my Combat Classic holster design with holster mouth reinforcement modified for inlay of exotic leathers. Had some alligator tails on hand. First holster is made for the S&W 629 Deluxe 3" .44 magnum, in russet color with gator inlay dyed dark brown for added contrast. Second holster is made for the Colt Commander, in black with gator inlay in tan for high contrast. Alligator hide is fairly easy to work with, although rather thick and heavy. Dyes easily with some natural contrasting highlights from the scaling pattern which does not absorb the dye as quickly or thoroughly as the background. I found the effects pretty attractive. Quote

Members Haystacker Posted February 18, 2015 Members Report Posted February 18, 2015 I sure like the looks of that gator. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted February 18, 2015 Members Report Posted February 18, 2015 Nice! I'm about to get a caiman remnant pack from Springfield, so I was especially interested to see this. Quote
