My First Holster!

[Old Fart]

Any chance you can resize those pictures?
I can't see much because they're huge.

Oh yea that's alot better.
Which 44 is that? A Charter Arms? Never mind I see it now. I've got one of the Titaniums. Good guns.
Looks good by the way.

Leather is 8-9 oz. Die is Fiebing's alcohol based Mahogany.
When I do the LCP holster, I plan to use a lighter leather (probably somewhere in 6-8 oz.)

For those who didn't see it, it's a Taurus 44, 4" barrel. I looked for holsters by other leather makers, and couldn't find one for this gun (most were for the 8" model).

Are you sure that's a first try?

Nice holster. Looks pretty functional, have you carried with it yet?

OK, I cheated. I made a knife sheath first. But yes, this was my first holster, and second leather project.

No, I have not carried with it yet (wearing a tucked shirt today as I need a more "professional" look), but I plan to do so tomorrow. I'll report on how it goes.

Thanks! It's tough to measure the time, as I've put in 20 minutes here and there as I had free moments over the weekend. Probably about 2 hours total. I'll watch the clock on the next one I make!

I'm going to do an OWB for my Glock, and an IWB for my mom's LCP. I'll time the work on those!
