Elephant holster

[BOOMSTICKHolsters]

For the record, this is made of elephant leather; it is not a device for carrying your elephant :D . I built this holster to order for a customer's new Sig P229 Elite (lucky fella). The body is ear (to my knowledge) and the throat is trunk. The base material is horsehide. I decided a little while ago the next time I made an exotic holster I would post it on here and see what you all think. Constructive criticisms welcome. Thanks for looking.

Looks pretty neat. I made myself this holster, but I like the way this belt loop is set up. Thanks, now I have to make another one.

Dude your holsters are cool. Very clean looking. One question though, is the reinforcing strip and the belt loop one peice or are they seperate?

The throat and the tunnel loop are one piece, sanded down to a lighter weight where there is trunk on top of it.

I am going to try one of these soon. Your holsters are an inspiration.

That's a great looking holster. Tempted to order one!

I gotta question/s, do you use the customer's pistol when you're boning the leather or do you

fabricate/buy? some kinda plug?

How does your fit/retention hold up over time?

Any pointers on getting a tight fit and correctly sizing the leather?

Do you add any metal?

Thanks,

BM
