Yeah.  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.

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

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?

What if the bottom also had a flap? 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.

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.

It wouldn't have to be anywhere as big as these but this was what first came to mind

I like both of these ideas, thanks you two.

This is a small example, of a semi closed toe. Normally the hole is just a little larger.

ok, I'll have to give that a try on the next one. 

and I don't know how I missed or first comment, but I think you're gonna be right about the belt loop, a friend of mine said the same thing.

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.
