Members RickHodges Posted September 2, 2015 Members Report Posted September 2, 2015 Al Stohlman and his wife were wonderful leatherworkers and great teachers...but looking at his holster designs I wonder just how often he carried a firearm. It might be heresy but his shoulder holster design is an implement of torture and sticking the bbl. out the end of the holster seems contrary to one of the basic purposes of gunleather. I understand it is popular on TV, but I will take mine full length.... ;-} The customer pays the piper so he gets to call the tune. Quote

Members Red Bear Haraldsson Posted September 2, 2015 Members Report Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah, that is the picture I found, too. I think all the stem area looks wonky, so I'll have my friend clean it up for me (He works in a print shop, always nice), then see if I cannot get it made into a reusable craftaid and get my practicing on!

Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted December 9, 2015 Members Report Posted December 9, 2015 I sell a lot of the Stohlman style (plain, not carved) 45 short holsters. I think that especially in the UK, it's the 'displaying' of the gun which wins over the practicality of protecting the barrel. I do wish my carving was even a quarter as good as your work obviously is. Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!! Next they'll be wanting the vote!!!!! “.
