alpha2 Report post Posted April 29, 2018 My first lined holster, this one in pigskin, because I had some, and tried out the cut lines with seeder at the corners. I learned a LOT on this one. The next one will be much improved. 6/7oz leather, thin pigskin, 25% mahogany 25% burgundy and 50% alcohol. (Fiebings).Finished with a few sprayed coats of Resolene 50%. Oh, and Fiebings edge paint in dark brown. 3 coats with sanding between coats. No welt, made the dimensions so I wouldn't have to. I found that I prefer the strap with snap. This is my second with the hammer strap, not my favorite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garypl Report post Posted April 30, 2018 Nice job Jeff - looks like a S&W in there with really nice stag horn grips! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks, guys! I didn't realize I didn't put the ID of the shootin' iron in the post! It's a 686+ 4". The stag grips are by "The Executioner". (His SASS name). He used to be local to me but has since moved up to Wyoming. Still not far. I have two sets of his grips on my Smiths. Here's his grips on my Model 10.

garypl Report post Posted May 1, 2018 I like both holsters and those S&W’s! I have two Model 10’s and a Model 64 that I want to make holsters for - just ordered a Model 10 blue gun. I’ll post pics when I have something to show! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koreric75 Report post Posted May 1, 2018 @alpha2, great looking holsters, I as wondering how the geo grid would look when finished, turned out great! My next project is a western rig for a S&W 357mag model 19...I'm sure it'll be a learning experience... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted May 1, 2018 The first one is always the hardest. Can't wait to see your western rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
