So last week I picked up one of these:
[attachment=7545:IMG_2015...5454_912.jpg] Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag. Obviously such a thing does not deserve to live in some off the shelf kydex or nylon holster, it deserves leather! So I spent an evening working on a template and came up with this: [attachment=7546:IMG_2015...5406_713.jpg] I'm fairly happy with how the prototype came out, it fits well and rides nicely on a belt. I do have to make a few changes, the cylinder guard is offset and the trigger cut out is too shallow. I might cut down the area over the rear sight down as well, 7 1/2 inches of barrel is pretty slow to draw with a full holster. Damn stitch groover slipped twice on me and gouged the leather, luckily for me the cuts were small enough I could cover them up with the studs. [attachment=7547:10906096...903226_n.jpg] I'll probably make one or two more prototypes to refine the design, then get some nice Hermann Oak for the final product. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

While you two are talking leather nerd business, not that looks are the most important factor, but would it be possible to come close to the same color of leather for a holster from Brandon and one of your sheaths Chris? Understand the indivdual designs and details will be different, but seems like it would be good if I'm going to be wearing both, it'd bo good if they were at least the same general color lol
If not, no worries... just don't want to get laughed off the mountain for not being fancy enough! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
