Just checking to see if anyone out there has a mold gun for a Taurus 617?

Nope, not here.  But from what I'm seeing, looks like she purdy close to the 686.

617 holds 7 rounds. I don't know if the 686 mold would work.

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.

Thanks @JLSleather & @bikermutt07, I have one for a s&w k model, thought I was getting the 357 Magnum, but got the 38, not a big issue thanks to the great info and advice I've been reading over the past months.  I will have the actual revolver in hand for this one, and it's not going to be molded as much as a pistol I think... I'm just not sure how the wheel would affect the draw, it'll stay in there, but getting it out... Lol.  I haven't tried using them before but was thinking maybe a screw grommet setup like you'd see on kydex holsters to adjust tension.  Since I have the k model blue gun I will see if I have a decent piece of leather left over and make one.  The holster for the Magnum is a western style so mostly smooth outside with a skirt loop...p.s. I watched a great video today on airbrushing stain sunburst patterns... Lol, it was great, I appreciate anyone that takes the time to setup a camera and document a process and rely heavily on those for many projects.  But...I really appreciate watching one where I don't get 10 min in and they're still sitting in front of the camera talking about what they are about to do and then a few seconds of work them back to the poster sitting in a different room talking about what they did and going to do.... Lol.

I think I've seen that one.  In fact, I think we all have :rofl:

Mine try to GET TO THE POINT. No fancy "intro" and "sag-way" and music copyrighted by someone else, and name-dropping people I think you may have heard of.  It aint a 'how to" video if'n it don't show ya HOW TO. ;)

I like 'em toward the low end of the cylinder.  Or just under it would likely be fine.  Never cared for them what got a tensioner screw up at the trigger guard area.

Lol true enough...I didn't pay attention at first when I started watching, I was fumbling with my headphones at work so I came in about the part where you were saying here's what these patterns are really good for and folded it inside to keep spray of the inside!... I was like, that sumbich... Then I looked at the poster account and burst out, the captain have me a wierd look

I agree, I think that area would be equally problematic with what I want to avoid...

Yeah, that too... What was kind of funny was how pissed I got at first. And how loud I was when I laughed my a55 off... And the funny looks... Those are great
