Latest holster

It’s been a couple years since I made any thing but wanted a comfortable holster for my 1911 and didn’t want to wait 6 months for Milt Sparks.  

This is based off of his Bruce Nelson style holster.

Wow.  Looks awesome.  Nice tight lines around firearm too.  Great job.  Beats the 6 month wait for sure.

Thanks, y’all!   I don’t get to do leather work much but I do enjoy it and seem to learn a little more each time.  I’ve been carrying with this holster daily now and love the style.  I’d never had one like it.  
 

So my resolene was old and thick (I’d never thinned it).  I had to remove the first coat.  Then re-coated with a few thinned coats.  Learned that you must thin resolene to have good results.  Here is an updated pic.  Call me crazy but I like the look better now.  
 

I also added a few extra stitches to tighten around the trigger guard.  Now it snaps into place better but still draws fine.

Yes, it is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever had.  Would definitely recommend this style.
