A Slim Jim Holster For My New "Colt" Dragoon
I put this together really fast for myself, squeezing it in between filling holster orders. I didn't care if the border stamping is uneven or not. And all the stitching was done with the leftover 3 or 4 inch pieces of thread I never throw away. I only do this for my own holsters. The russet color was chosen to match the reddish stocks typical of the Uberti sixguns. I don't think a welt is traditional for a slim jim but this one has an inch and a half welt just behind the trigger guard so the gun slips in easier.

I think it looks great and the color really goes with the grips.

Slick! I have about a half finished holster, cut out and formed, of the Threepersons/Lawrence #120 pattern that has been waiting for me to finish it for a couple of years now. It's for a Third Model Dragoon. Maybe I'll get after it this winter.
Would you be interested in knocking out another like that for me? If so, shoot me a PM so I can think about it. At any rate, that's one fine looking rig.

That is a great looking rig. Very appropriate styling for the gun.
Very well done.

If you think a Dragoon is heavy, try hefting a Walker.................
