Man, I envy you. I would give anything to have another hour with my Dad.

My father came over and he had him a nice little Walther .22 pistol that he wanted a holster for. He didn't want anything fancy. Just something quick and easy and small.

I was able to use a piece of scrap I had and a few min later we had him a holster cut out. I sewed a very simple belt loop on the back, burnished the edges lightly, sewed up the pouch, wet molded it and let it dry for a while. Then I sprayed it with some Fiebings Saddle Lac and called it done. He was happy and it only cost me about an hours time spend with Dad.

I to look forward to the new bullet.  I have actually had excellent results with swaged hollow base Wad Cutters.  The only down side to the Wad Cutters, they look funky being loaded in Conversions.  No matter, I like shooting my conversions enough I put up with funky looking Wad Cutters.  A "correct" round nose bullet will be a huge improvement.  Hope that was them "dead soft."

People are Still Contagious.  Avoid 'Em

Sometimes I stitch just because on either rivets or Chicago screws you can get the green tarnish- I don't know how to prevent it.

I have some pretty old holsters with some copper rivets. The green tarnish dont bother me but it is easy to clean if need be. I dont think you can stop it really. Maybe if you spray one of the top coats on it it may prevent it but not sure.

Hi SSS members - Any assistance and information is greatly appreciated on the following I am researching:

Thank you and have a great Independence Day!
