An Al Stohlman Holster

[Dave Richardson]

I spent a few years looking for an H&R sportsman 22 pistol I finally found one last summer. A few months ago I ran across the book how to make a holster by Al Stohlman and in it was the pattern for the H&R Sportsman so I had to try it. I made this one out of 8 ounce drum died latigo.I wasn't crazy about the flowers in the design but I used them anyway , next time I will use something different. I thought the pattern was too small but after completing it the pistol fit perfect. Thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated.

Good job, Dave, . . . I wonder if that was the old .22 revolver I traded off a long time ago, . . . looks enough like it to be a twin, . . . and I'm just down the road from you by 40 miles.

Anyway, . . . I like it, . . . your carving and stamping will always look better if the holster is brown or tan would be my comment on the decoration.

May God bless,

Dwight
