I'm really proud of this one.
« on: December 02, 2012, 10:28:28 PM »
Friend of mine commissioned me to build him a holster for his Beretta 92 FS.  The only guidelines given to me were to make it a pancake holster with a slight forward cant and a full sweat shield.  I was given free reign as far as the design went.  I'm pretty new to leather work, but I am really proud of this one.   I made this one from a nice piece of European Double Shoulder 8-9oz leather.  The entire holster is double stitched.  The front enforcement piece was stamped with his initials and resist dyed to bring out the letters.  I airbrushed the holster myself with 4 shades of tan and black for a nice deep sunburst effect.   Tell me what you guys think.

Now that is really nice work Adam...simple, elegant and VERY decorative.  That one will do equally well at the range or the barbeque!

That is very impressive work, Adam. The patience and attention to detail in that holster are striking. And a handstitched holster is a rare thing to see these days. Your pride is justified.

It's good to see someone who takes real pride in his work in this age of "slap, dash, next . . . ."
