What y'all think....?

So, I just got my new Tucker&Byrd HF3 holster for my 27-2's mainly for my new
6 & 1/2" model but, my 6" model fits just as well
I had mentioned that the only regret i had was that went with Saddle Tan for the Holster Body (really like the Black Cherry Tab however)
Well, it kept nawin at me until I decided to do something about it
Now, I did use a test subject before I did the HF3 Holster
Lemme know what yall think - i know it can never be better than what the maker can do - i just hope it looks decent anyways
For the Saddle Tan was just too light- I wanted to not necessarily darken it but, make it warmer if that makes sense
Here's how she turned out
Before & After

It looks much better to me! I'd say you did an excellent job.

TY!
& I don't mind at all to tell ya.
I went super lightly with some Pure Polish Dark Brown shoe cream
I let it set for 10 minutes then hit it with a Horsetail Brush
Lastly, I followed up with some SNO-SEAL
Take a dryer and heat the leather up pretty good, then apply the SNO-SEAL
It didn't take very much at all
Let it set just a minute & then hit it again with the Horse Hair Shoe Brush

It came out fantastic! No blotches, just a nice even coloration. A fitting companion for a 27.

Man, TY
Thats a load off
Even though I liked it myself - ya always wonder if it really did turn out good.
Yall confirmed that & thanks again

That’s really nice. Do you have any pics with the gun? Or are you going to have to change stocks to match? Looks like it will match anything, if it really matters.

I like version II better too.
