Heritage Crossdraw Holster

[JWheeler331]

A guy we run cows with asked me to make him a crossdraw holster for his Heritage .22 revolver that he likes to carry. His initial request was that it be plain, black and crossdraw. I made it and had it ready to deliver and as I was walking out of the door he called and said " Hey, I don't remember if I told you or not but I want a hammer tie down thingy on it".

I was literally about to walk out the door to meet up with him. I told him that he did not tell me that but I would see what I could do. I thought over what I could do to remedy this and since I did not have any lace or anything on hand to do a hammer tie down I decided to just make one out of leather and and rivet it to the holster. The rivet is out of the way and does not contact the revolver in any way when putting in and out. It holds the gun in securely (although the wet form pretty much did that anyways) and it gave him what he was looking for. He absolutely loves it. Its far better to him than the ugly nylon holster he was using that the barrel hung out of.

Here are a few photos.

Nice. indeedy

even a plain black leather holster is very much nicer than a plastic or nylon one
