Here's one for the "Lefty's"! Lt Hand Cross Draw for a Black Widow

A basic Black Leather with Black Thread Cross Draw Holster for a Black Widow

Cross Draw is a convenient way to carry these small revolvers. It is also makes for an easy draw from a standing or especially from a seated position (desk work, driving, etc.)

Drawing from this style of carry is easier due to not needing to lift your shoulder as much as carrying from strong side (for those with shoulder injuries.) One limitation for this style of carry is, if the user can't reach across their midsection due to their "girth"

Holster options for left hand shooters has always been limited. For most, it's rare to ever find a "off the shelf" left hand Holster for their specific gun make and model. Having the option for a Custom Made Holster makes their options as common as any right hand shooter has enjoyed.

Have you ever carried "Cross Draw"? I'm curious about anyone's opinions.

I make a lot of them compared to my friends that build Holsters

Questions, Comments, Constructive Criticism are always welcome! Thanks for looking!

Yep that girth thing that can be an issue. It's not that I've gained weight, my arms have just gotten shorter.

I also can not carry cross draw. Too much hangover. It would be same as carrying concealed.
But another holster for my "Rick's Holsters" file.
The colors are beautiful.
Sip, sip, AHHHHH

Thanks Uncle_Lee!

Fabulous looking set up you have there Rick!

Rick's the best. Here's the lefty cross draw he made for me (this one was the grand prize for the "dummy guns in a jar" contest he conjured up).

Hey Postalman,
That is one very pretty set.
It is a shame that a shirt tail will cover it.
it needs to be put on display.
Sip, sip, Ahhhh

Hey I like that rubber finger bumper on the hammer . Works great I bet .

Uncle_Lee · July-05-23 04:07

Had to come back and check it out again.
The colors of the grips and holster go together so beautifully.
Sip, sip, Ahhhh !!

It's a vacuum line cap and it works like a charm. Fits tight and sure does feel better on the thumb.

In a hardware store, they're sometimes called thread protectors. Get the right diameter and slice it to length.
