New Holster Prototype
The making of Frankenholsterstein
After being frustrated from searching the internet and magazines for the right IWB holster for my gun and not being able to find it. I decided to do what many before have done when faced with this problem, including DaVinci, Galileo, Newton etc. I made it my damn self!!!
Why, you say, I didn’t just fork over $100 and buy one. I know I could afford it but would I be happy with it is the question. The main issue is Because I wanted it the way I wanted it, that’s why!
Anyway, take a look.

First, I would like to thank Blue Bell Diary Farm. One of your cows is missing, but it has been offered up for a more illustrious career than just giving milk. Look at the quality leather hide.
Second, I would like to thank my Mommy for allowing me to watch her sew clothing whereby I was able sew my holster from her encouragement. “Boy, sew your buttons back on yourself, your hands aren’t broken.� Thank you mommy.
Third, I would like to thank my highschool drafting and art teachers for showing me the differences in lines and symmetry, so I could carve out such a masterpiece.
Fourth, I would like to thank Dupont for inventing Nylon, so that my masterpiece could hold together for hopefully a long life.
Cowhide = Free
Nylon thread = $2
Belt clip and screw = $10
Blood, sweat, tears, time (2 days) from needle pricks, sliced fingers, shouts from wife and knowledge from Apache indians passed down through generations, and me not caring what ANYONE thinks about it, all ending in a holster that fits like a GLOVE. = PRICELESS

JKDubb has good eyes.
Your holster looks great. It takes a lot of patience to make something by hand yourself, and it takes talent and knowledge to do it correctly.
I admire that.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
