With some practice you can make a very good holster. Some good Herman Oak leather, some thread, some time on a leather workers forum, and you can make something nicer than most can afford to buy. Patterns are available, and instructions on how to make patterns are available. Takes a few starts and drawers do fill up and as soon as you get good, family shows up wanting free holsters, but it is fun. You can start with cheap leather until you get good so you don't toss out expensive mistakes, and yes, your fingers will bleed when stuck with an awl or needle. But you can get exactly what you want. Just tell everybody that its a feature, not a mistake.
