Beautiful, Skeet. Very nice work.

Wallace, those look good. Nice molding to the pistols. The stamping is fine. Fun, too. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks folks, I went a little overboard on the molding for the SAA holster but I hope it will soften up when I start using it.

You can always re-mold it if needed.

I made this for my Smith & Wesson 3rd Model. Smith & Wesson told me this Pistol was manufactured in 1885 or 1886. The Holster is fastened to the rig with two Chicago Screws so I can change the Holster cant or switch to a different Holster. This a prototype as there are some things that I want to change on my next one.

Looks good, Johnny. That was a smart idea to use Chicago screws so you can change the angle or holster itself at any time if you want.

Many thanks for all of the kind words. I made this Rig

I was asked to duplicate a Cavalry Holster for a friend in the opposite hand. I forgot to take pictures of the finished unit. The last picture of the Holster (S4) in Black is after being dyed in Vinegaroon but before any final finishing.

This was the first time I did Cartridge loops by sewing directly to the leather rather then by weaving.

Those look very good, John. You captured the San Antonio original nicely. Fine work, there.

You know, a half-flap version would be fairly cool-looking, too. Maybe I'll make one in my spare time after my other 57 projects get done. ;D

Many thanks for the kind words Marshall. I came reasonably close to matching the existing Holster. Sewing the loops by hand was tedious. I wouldn't want to make a dozen of these.

Yeah, those loops can take some time. I figure that's a good reason to go for larger calibers. You did a great job on them.  :D

Ok, shouldn't be any issue with this not being "cowboy". .45 LC Cattleman, medium brown dye and antiqued to show off the basketweave, black border, strap, and lining. No modern snap restraints, got an old fashioned hammer thong loop, and made a matching cartridge strap that will hang off a belt loop or whatever.

Sorry about the quality of the pic, I'm rockin a 10 yo flip phone like a South American Druglord...
