rainy day holster

[CindyCLewis]

Started out nice today but had a mix of rain and snow, so I decided to make another holster. It is drying, then I will dye it. I am happy with it.

wow, not bad for a day's work!

I like it but how do you mount it to a belt?

 

[Lawman145]

I like it a lot, great way to spend a day inside. You gotta show the finished product. 

[CindyCLewis]

I didn't make it for a belt, but if I was going to make one for someone I would put a belt loop on it. I just never wear a belt. It turned out fair, for learning. Rides really well for a heavier gun. I wore it while riding a colt the other day and shoulder never got tired.

Very cool. Nice job.

when I sow it together i dont use glue, makes it easier for me to sow. Then i do the edges, however, the last holster i played with got some separation after i slicked it. Is there a way to avoid that.

Adhesive usually helps prevent separation when you slick the edges.  Not much else going to keep leather stuck together as far as I know.

I use glue, but alternately I have seen people sew (relatively close to edges) and then use an edge coating.  Course, the separation will still be there, the coating is just that.. a covering.

I always glue makes for a much stronger seem. I hand sew.
