With no top strap, no slots, etc. it always seems hard to come up with a great solution for attaching it to the belt. I get the same thing on these and I've come up with pretty much the same solution. Also, great job on the grip presentation and having the gun accessible. You'd be amazed at how many people miss that (or how many holsters I've thrown away because of that.) Very Sharp! cool, thanks! great minds think alike? Also, its not my first holster, just my first try at this style. 7 hours ago, cradom said: I wish I'd used a stud on mine instead of that cheap Tandy snap. Got to change that. That's a good looking, functional holster. Thank you, I really like to use button studs 5 hours ago, Dun said: Just a thought, if saw dust and debris are a regular issue, maybe leave the front open so a quick blast of air would clear it out? thats the way I wanted to make it originally, and I've made several with an open bottom, but a good friend pointed out that with a backwoods workin holster (especially with such a long gun) you have to worry about what happens when you kneel in the snow, or you're flinging mud with the ATV, or crawling through the underbrush, what might end up in the barrel?

Members Dun Posted February 6, 2018 Members Report Posted February 6, 2018 What if the bottom also had a flap? Like hair stylist scissor bags? Quote

Like hair stylist scissor bags? hmm, a removable bottom? that has merit...I just can't think of a way to do it without making it awkward. Quote -Jake North Country Leather and Wool

It wouldn't have to be anywhere as big as these but this was what first came to mind From https://www.instagram.com/p/BNtE2fcj5iP/ Quote
Members CaptQuirk Posted February 7, 2018 Members Report Posted February 7, 2018 Instead of leaving the toe open, close all but a small pencil sized hole near the muzzle. This keeps most stuff from going in, but allows the other stuff to fall out. Quote

Members CaptQuirk Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 This is a small example, of a semi closed toe. Normally the hole is just a little larger. Quote

Members Lizardo Posted February 25, 2018 Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Here's one I made about 30 years ago for a Colt Pocket Navy. Very similar except for the toe. It's been around the block a few times, it was my carry holster when I worked on the property. . Edited February 25, 2018 by Lizardo Quote
Members Startella Posted January 12, 2022 Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 This is great looking!!! I was just wondering if you have a pattern for it or did you have one similar to eyeball? Quote
