Flap Holster for ROA

[Springfield Slim]

A friend of mine wanted a flap holster for his walking in the woods gun, so I came up with this. I used a snap off the the side as I would hate for him to scratch up his gun with a brass post in the middle, and I didn't feel like sewing a cover over it.  He wants it in black so obviously it hasn't been dyed yet. I wasn't sure if the 8-9 oz leather would be thick enough but it seems fine.

SS it looks like it will turn out very nice. KT

 Nice work Slim, your pard should be happy, putting the snap out of the way was a good move.

I like that Slim!! That's a  smooth idea of offsetting the snap! Post more pics when you get it dyed!

Just for fun I grabbed my Dragoon and it fits perfectly also! Sometimes you just luck out. Now my wife wants flap holsters for her Colts. Of course when I do tooled holters she wants a pair of those, and when I did a shoulder holster she wanted that.

Very nice. Did you develop that pattern yourself? I would like to make a pair of flap holtsers to attach to my gun cart to store my guns in.

[Springfield Slim]

I've always done all my own patterns. Tell me which gun you need a flap holster for and I can draw you up a pattern. My wife now wants a crossdraw Flap Holster for her left side 5.5" SAA.

That's a gracious offer Slim, I appreciate it. I have a pair of Ruger Bisleys, both with 5.5 barrels

My brother has a pair of Ruger Bisley's. When I do my wife's holster I'll check and see if the Bisley's fit the same.

That would be great. Thanks

Very good design, Slim. I like the location of the snap. Good thinking.

And if you had been at the shoot on Sunday you coulda seen it in person! 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Yeah, caught me slacking off. I'll get a gander at it one of these days.
