Purty looking holster anyways.
Seems logical, doesn't it? As designers, and as builders, though, we have to think of everything; and keeping the cylinder in position assumes at least that it is fluted; and when it is, that either the design or the process will mould the leather into the outermost flutes.

In that regard, the construction of this particular holster doesn't enable hand detailing into the flutes, and I don't use a press (which would then force the leather to conform to the flutes, like it or not).

And fluteless cylinders have become more, and not less, popular.
