Eddie Q Report post Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Haven’t been around here much, but finally had a chance to make a holster for a friend for Christmas. Just a simple pattern to carry at the range for a .357 Rossi. 6-7 oz lined with 1.5-2 oz tooling pig. Edited January 12, 2018 by Eddie Q Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted January 12, 2018 Love how it turned out. I really like how the coloring turned out on the back. The tooling all looks cool too, it's just the backside jumped out at me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptQuirk Report post Posted January 12, 2018 That is an interesting border. Is that an inverted meandering stamp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 Outstanding! I'm going to do a lined holster, soon, I really am. Question, do you rely on the stretch in the leather for the hammer loop, or something else? I've only done the snap type retainer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Q Report post Posted January 19, 2018 Alpha2, the holster is a snug fit, the hammer thong is just for peace of mind and cosmetic I guess..... I carry a Ruger New Vaquero and haven’t had much stretching problem in a bout a year of use. Thanks for the props to the rest of the fellers. Oh, and by the way alpha2, I’ve been working with leather for shy of three years in a very limited time, I haven’t made an unlined holster as of yet.... even my first atrocity of holster was lined !

OLDNSLOW Report post Posted January 19, 2018 well if it is anything like Taos, then I can understand my Primos always have something to keep them busy.
