Eddie Q Report post Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) A friend asked if I could make a drop holster with a leg tie for his wife and my big mouth was “sure” !! When he brought me the gun, I didn’t know what to say but........ anyways this is what I came up with and they loved it, now she wants a belt to go with it !! S&W 2” bbl, 7-8 HO lined with 1.5-2 oz glazed pig skin and our mandatory Zia Symbol (proud to be New Mexican).

garypl Report post Posted January 20, 2018 Love the colors and nice job! Only critique is that the stitching seems to change length in a few areas, but otherwise looks great! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been looking for info on weather I need a holster needle plate and if it might help prevent that and can’t find much on it..... Appreciate your comments .

I have seen the same happen with my CB4500 when thickness of leather changes (like when sewing over a strap) - usually it’s not that noticeable, but I try to watch for it and adjust stitch length when I can.

alpha2 Report post Posted January 20, 2018 I've been watching videos on the cowboy stitchers, in preparation for the arrival of mine in about a week or so, and stitch length they say is related to tension, so like Garypl says, changing thickness or anything that will alter the thread tension can have an effect. I had to look for it on your fine holster, so maybe we're the only people that will notice! I wouldn't have thought of a drop leg for a snubby, but you totally made it work. She likes it, that's what counts. You're setting the bar pretty high there with these holsters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
