Here are a few snub nose holsters, the carved one well beyond my capacity to duplicate.
But they are very nice

Those are definitely very lovely holsters.

This is my latest creation along with the latest pistol that followed me home: a S&W 66-8.

Looks good, Slim. That holster is just right. No unnecessary embellishments, just a nice clean design. Good work.

I used to have a 4" Model 65 and as I recall, the only difference was the sights. That's a nice piece.

Thanks, Marshal.
You are correct. The 66 has adjustable rear sight, the 65 does not.

Working on a new simple pattern for a Crossdraw (highjacker) for my S&W 642.
Though I pocket carry in a pocket holster, it is not very assessable when driving if need be.
I'm still deciding if the belt loop will be folded of flat  :-\

A belt loop folded will present the grip slightly more out from your body than flat. It depends on how it will be worn.

I made one for a Colt police model and a folded loop worked great with that. If you want it to lie super flat so it doesn't show under clothes, make it a kind of skirted holster, like a Brill. This one doesn't have a spacer behind the pouch like a Brill but it still lies fairly flat. You can stitch on a skirt if you want one. Forgive the ratty toe of the holster, it was a test piece made from lesser quality leather.

Understood, I'm leaning towards this keeper with a 22.5-degree cant
 
 The reason is Fit, I'm not exactly...ah! Flat.

Marshal Will Wingam

That should do the trick. Not many of us are flat anymore. LOL.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can mold the belt loop to fit your belt so it stays right where you want it, too. Depending on your needs, of course.

That looks good Wil, OK I've decided "loop" with the molded shape...

Sounds good. I look forward to the finished photos.

All but finished, I still need to lightly complete burnish the seam and edge coat.
I wanted to wet molded first... Both revolvers are J-Frames. 642 and Mod.36

Looks great! No nonsense, just pure function. I like it.

Thank you...
I don't have any stamps anymore, I lost all that in my Barn fire years ago.
I might have done a little edge border, but then again is Conceal carry.
So who'd see it anyway  :-\

Exactly. The edge bead is enough anyway.

Is the screw a retention adjustment?
