The title pretty much says it all. 8/9 HO for everything except the reinforcement piece which is 5/6. Fiebings cordovan dye diluted with iso alcohol, I forget the amounts buy likely 50/50 since I buy them both by the quart. Finished with 50/50 mix of Mop & Glo and water. 

The retention screws were something I'd been thinking about doing and could on this since it was a project for me. Not a personal holster for me, but one I made for a gift. Anyway, we'll see how it works out over time. 

Have a good day folks!

Nice.  BTW, I hope you had every bit as much fun as I did getting those rubber gaskets in the holster for the retention.  :crazy:  As far as I can tell they worked.  But what a hassle!

Quality craftsmanship, Josh.

Thanks gents! 

Chief, I put them in before I stitched the body up because I had serious doubts that I could get to them once it was put together. I've put them down by the muzzle after sewing and even that's a nuisance if you have everything put in fairly snug. 

All the best, 

Josh

Josh,

 

as others have said, your work is always first rate.  But do you really need tension screws for an IWB?

Thanks Malabar! And the answer is a resounding "no", they aren't needed.

The back story is something like this, I built this set for my son who just turned 21. Among other things he's a parachute rigger for the 19th SFG of the UT National Guard and although not fully "5.11 tacticool" he likes his gear with more of a "military" flair than a western flair. Most of what I makes leans more western than military and I'd decided that whatever I built him would have some hardware, even if more for looks than purpose. Anyway, he's happy with it and if it does loosen up a little over it's useful lifespan he could tighten it down. 

All the best, 

Josh

Very Nice!

Who did you get your maker dye from?
