Take a look at the data on this website.

Pay close attention to the SD. Loads with high SD indicate erratic ignition.

YMMV

Thanks to you both for your advise.  Would you use slightly heavier leather for the belt?

Okay, here's the easy way to eliminate the safety. Drive the pin out that holds the safety in, remove the three parts. Take a .25 ACP case and cut it down to about an 1/8"-3/16" and Blue Lock-tite it in place. If you can find a W-W stamped case it looks even better.

And be aware there is a detent ball and spring in there. I saved the spring but the ball went to parts unknown.

Seems to me, someone maybe Palo Verde Gunworks or UniqueTek makes a blanking screw to replace the Safety.
I know Palo Verde make one for the JM Marlins, I installed one on my 94CL along with their spring kit.

I like 8-9 oz leather for unlined holsters. That's just slightly thicker than many of the ones from the later 1800s. A good wet molding and it will hold its shape well.

I am not an expert or a pro but I have made a few rigs and to me 10-12oz. seems a bit excessive. I am planning a California holster and Fair Weather Christian belt soon. It will be unlined and 7-9oz leather.

The Leather Shop / New project holster/belt
« Last post by Crossdrawnj on Yesterday at 05:20:59 PM »
I want to start a new holster/belt project. I have been making my rigs, both holster and belts lined: 7-8 ounce outer layer, 3-4 ounce inner layer. I want to do a rig unlined. I like a heavy combination. I am thinking of using 10-12 oz. or heavier for the belt and the holster.  I'd like to get a recommendation from the group here as there is a lot of experience on this site. Thanks in advance.
