Default Evolution Of A Holster For 45wheelgun. FINISHED!!

This is for 45wheelgunner's really fancy 2 1/2" 1917 S&W. I'm making it blindly and hope the gun fits OK when it's done. He suggested I show it's evolution here. That's it starting on paper in the top photo. It's the simple line drawing on the left. Third picture; holster is dyed, and in the process of getting stitched. Belt is cut, ready for tooling pattern. Bottom pic. is finished holster. Mainseam is drying for dye application later todaty but that's it. Last picture. Holster delivered and this pic sent back.

Where do you get your leather?You seem to have a lot of tools,how much is really nesicary to do some basic projects?
I've got a couple projects I would like to try,I'm sure they wouldn't come out looking anything like your work but I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

We have a Tandy's here in town so I just buy a side at a time. Two of these holsters pays for it.
I'll use maybe eight stamps for a holster like this. Then there's the edger, groover, stitching awl, etc. You must use a stitching groover to keep the stitches in line.
Good luck and be prepared to make mistakes until you get it down.

I sent you a PM. This holster (unlined as pictured) costs $95 shipped. I can only make one if I can dig up a gun with the same frame size. I have a 5" 27-2 which would work for your gun. Thanks

I like it! Can you also make a heavy belt in that pattern? I had this rig made for me about 35 years ago by alfonso. Its a foot too short now, and it was huge to start with!

Hey guys I had WyattBurp make a holster like this for my Detective Special.

I had the plain brown finish. I really like it, see what you think?
