This holster was made for a local Police Captain who is a friend of mine I told him he didn't need to pay cash just keep me out of getting tickets.

I tried to line this holster, and I discovered I still have much to learn. This worked out nicely but it was a lot of work. Step one: Choose the right leather. DO not use a 3 ounce leather for lining. It's too thick.

For those of you that are not familiar with Me an my leather work, all the sewing is done by hand. I am going to have to save up for a long time to afford a leather sticher, so for now, it's all by hand. Stiching by hand is much stronger, too bad it takes so long.



This design is not very common. I found a picture of this style on the Internet, so I'm sure some one going to be mad at me for coping, but I like this style for a couple reasons. First, it's uncommon, nice unique look.
Second and more important, this design holds the firearm very close to you body, so the chance of the gun catching on something like arm rests and chairs is relatively low. Makes for a nice look on anyones hip.
