Hags Report post Posted December 14, 2021 Finished this one this week. Just handed it off to the customer this afternoon. He rides bikes and has never been comfortable with any kind of a hip holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrmCa Report post Posted December 14, 2021 Does it not lift with the gun when you try to pull it out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hags Report post Posted December 14, 2021 Yes, it would. But if you look close you can see a strap on the lower left that goes to the belt. That halts upward movement of the holster, but is still loose enough to not interfere with movement. Good call! That was the first mod I made for this type of rig.

Hags Report post Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) No, not thinned. Applied with a dauber, one coat circular, another one way, then the other, at one time. Let dry overnight. I do have to say not every bottle is ths same. The last "light brown" I bought was considerably darker. I also do a "streaked" look that folks like. I just start at one corner and drag the dauber across diagonally. It leaves heavier and lighter streaks across the leather. Questions are how we learn, I have many! Also, I dye before wet molding.

Hags Report post Posted December 18, 2021 Thanks guys. These have sorta become my niche over here with hunters, hikers, equestrians, and now, bikers! They help pay for my addiction to leather work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
