Randyc Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Last summer a customer brought me this holster which started life as a drop loop western holster for a 6" pistol. The holster was purchased in Mexico. He asked me if I could convert it to a high ride cross draw holster for a 4" pistol for his upcoming hunting trip. After agreeing to take the job on I discovered this holster was constructed of thin 2 oz. leather covering sheet metal. After cutting down the holster, I had to use a metal rasp to smooth the bottom of the holster. After stitching on the belt loop and instaling a leather hammer thong, I returned the holster to him. He liked the conversion. Quote

Members fishguy Posted January 29, 2008 Members Report Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds like the kind of construction used in "quick draw" holsters. Not really good for retention, he might want to add a strap if he is going to be out hunting and climbing over stuff. Quote
