Augustus Nichols Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Been using a mismatched pair since I started. Looked at several brands and talked to other shooters about what they liked/didn't like about theirs and made my own. Dabbled in some leather before but not to this extent. Really happy with how they turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Ridge Regulator Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Nice work, I love the color and the way you faded it out to dark brown along the edges, looks like they have a nice flair at the mouth and should reholster well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used an airbrush for the dye to get that fade in the color. The mouths are definitely "funneled". One of my old holsters had a tendency to hang up when re holstering so I flared these pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Ridge Regulator Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Looks like you put about a 10 ish degree rake on the holsters, they should draw pretty good as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Very nice work. I would be interested to see the back and side view of one of the holsters. I'm always curious to see how other leather guys construct their holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Thanks for the view of the back and sides! Be careful, making your own quality holsters can turn into a blossoming new business, if you're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
