TW, I really like belts with bullet loops that run the whole length. Great job.

My youngest son (39 years old) will be shooting his first match tomorrow. We will be sharing guns for this one but I wanted him to have his own leather. I had to make him a belt and one Holster. This Holster will fit my Richards Transition and my 1873 SAA's. This rig was dyed with Feibings Dark Brown oil dye and the belt is nothing fancy as I was pressed for time. The final finish is Skidmores. I did miss using my Walnut and Coffee Dyes.

His alias will be Charley McCrae as his middle name is Charles.

Now its off to the Reloading bench for more ammo.

Rock and Roll Johnny,

You did a Super Job getting him ready to shoot!!
Have a Super fun time, and be safe!
Later

Hello Johnny

    I echo the words Ace used, this will  be something your son won't forget, this is what memory's are made off, you did a dandy job on this gun rig, especially with such a short time to get it ready.

                    I hope you and your son Charley McCrae have a great weekend shooting 

                                     
                                               Regards

That's outstanding, Johnny. Your son will really enjoy that rig. I have fond memories of a custom holster a guy made for me.  Your son will always remember that with joy.

[Johnny McCrae]

Many thanks tor the kind words Pards.

Charley McCrae shot his first match today and he made me proud. He is already talking of someday introducing his son to this great sport.

By the way. you do know you are getting old when your youngest son has some gray in his beard.

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

  Dang Johnny, your son looks right at home in his duds, looks like he'll be a natural, good to hear you both had a great day, by the way you have a good looking kid, and I know you're proud.

                                       Regards

Howdy Johnny, 
I am so happy that your Son had a good time What a great feeling of pride you must have I would give anything in this world if my son and I did things toghter!

for you my friend!!!
ACE

[RollingThunder]

Johnny, if that's your son, then you should look much older than you do. Either way, you have a right to be right proud pard!

So back to the new leather - .357 S&W custom holster, right hand draw, with a slight cant forward. The holster doesn't need it, but the slip strap is tightly snugged into the leather cross-piece, and does not pull out without some SERIOUS effort. Can be snugged behind the backstrap, or the hammer, then slipped over the front and pulled down out of the way when you need to.





Haven't got a really good pic of the custom embossing ... but I'll get one soon pards!

[JD Alan]

That's very slick RT. Nice work

Howdy Rt,

Many thanks for the kind words.

That's a very nice job you did there on your .357 S & W Holster. A clean & neat design with excellent workmanship. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

    Howdy RT

      That is a really nice holster, I like your stitch work, and your safety strap is very unique, looks like it fits your gun well.
