Members Rolandranch Posted April 6, 2018 Members Report Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hi, guys! So my dad got my brother a .22 revolver for a birthday present and my gift to him was that I would make him a holster to go with it. ...several months later... And here it is! Let me know what you guys think. Comments/critique are always welcome. I read Jim's tutorial in the holster/knife sheath part of the forum and it really helped. Thanks for looking! -Ryan Edited April 6, 2018 by Rolandranch Quote

Members plinkercases Posted April 6, 2018 Members Report Posted April 6, 2018 That is a magnificent gift for a young new gun owner. Your a good brother! and a fine holster maker it seems. He'll have to get a Denix replica or an airgun so he can pack iron around the house...

This was my first attempt at a holster and I think it turned out alright but time will tell how well built it really is. 2 minutes ago, JD62 said: Ahhh, Well up here in N.Y. you cant even shoot a hand gun unless its on YOUR permit, which you cant get till your 21. ouch... So I guess I'll stay here in AZ. My parents and older brother are in N.Y. right now selling pens we make. Quote

bikermutt07 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 Wow, great job, Roland. You are well in your way to making a living at this stuff. Really impressed. 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.
Contributing Member Ferg Posted April 6, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted April 6, 2018 Very Nice! I like to see young "Whipper-Snappers" doing great leather work. BTW: A number of years ago we made Black Walnut cases for a company who made Pens and Pencils. I kept one set for myself, haven't been able to find them in years. LOL Ferg Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 6, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted April 6, 2018 Lookin' good, Kid - I like it. Great color, and the contrasting stitch is a nice touch.

Members YinTx Posted April 7, 2018 Members Report Posted April 7, 2018 That is super slick. I've been itching to make one of my own, but haven't decided on design, colors etc.. . which just means I am really good at procrastinating. Great job!

Members Aven Posted April 7, 2018 Members Report Posted April 7, 2018 That turned out great. Your brother has got to be super happy with it. Great job on the holster and being a big brother. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted April 7, 2018 Members Report Posted April 7, 2018 Love the color, design, everything. Quote
Members noobleather Posted April 9, 2018 Members Report Posted April 9, 2018 A really clean well made holster there. Inspiring stuff, thanks for sharing. Self made holsters for my Ruger Bisley Vaqueros are on the to do list Quote
Members Fire88 Posted April 16, 2018 Members Report Posted April 16, 2018 Another beautiful piece from you Quote
