Members MoRoadglide11 Posted February 25, 2018 Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 Hey Guys, My little brother found this pair of Boulets in Arizona at a local internet swap. He decided that he needed a holster set made, so of course, he enlisted the only holster maker he knows that would do the job for "free". I made him a deal that he couldn't resist by laying claim to the other boot that would be left over from the build as payment for my services. It wasn't completely free on his part but, it turned out to be a win-win for both of us. I'll make a set for myself at a later time. This set is custom built for a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 40 with laser. I posted the remaining boot , in the photo, to give the set some perspective. Have a look and let me know what you all think.

bikermutt07 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Great job, once again. Now, if we can just get rid of that foot odor...... Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members MoRoadglide11 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 Hey Biker, No worries...I removed all of the interior lining...any part that was against the skin...then saddle soaped the remaining part of the boot that was used to make this set. I do that to all of the boots I use for holster building. Thank you for the compliment too! Quote
alpha2 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 nice deal!!! Quote So much leather...so little time.

Absolutely!....and I was just putting out there how I prep my boots for holster building because...for a moment there....I was feeling guilty. Most of the time I am able to build a holster and a magazine case from one boot....it depends on whether or not there is enough damage to the pair that I cannot see in photos. I buy most of my boots from shopgoodwill.com. I rely on photos of cowboy boots they post on their site to visually describe boots. I bid on them based on what I see. 23 minutes ago, alpha2 said: Better'n a kick in the ass. Sorry, it was the boot reference! No need to apologize Alpha....we all need a little comic relief now and then....and your comment made me chuckle. Quote

Shoot, @MoRoadglide11 that smells like a slogan to me. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later....
