My Pocket Holster

[kanuist]

Finally got around to taking a picture of the pocket holster I made last week for my new NAA Wasp.  I really like the way it looks and the way it fits the thigh pocket of my carpenter jeans.  

   

   What do you think?

I LIKE IT!!!  I have a Wasp just like that!  Want to sell one just like it?

Seems to fit the shape of the gun much better than I had envisioned. Nice work!

Louie,  No plans to start making holsters.  I'm too busy with other projects for my self and keeping up my skills playing 9 ball.

   

   I've been working with leather since I was a kid and I really enjoy it.  I tried something different on this one.  I usually hand stitch my leather work, but this time I used blue jean rivets (just hammer together).  After molding the leather to the gun, I used 5 minute epoxy to bond the edges together.  Last step was several coats of "tan kote".  This firms up the leather into what I call natures kydex.

That is the way it looks.  If you change your mind, let me know.  I like it.

   

   Thanks

[cedarview kid]

That's totally awesome. I'd love one of those for my .22 Magnum Buntline. :-)

I tried 5 minute epoxy a few years ago on a belt after I had problems with Barge cement.  You would think it would be too stiff, but it remains flexible.

   

   The rivets can be found at http://www.castbullet.com/rivet.htm">www.castbullet.com/rivet.htm  I find them easier to use than traditional leathercraft rivets and you don't need a setter tool.

I am looking for inside the pants holster/cell phone holder combination for my 32ACP Guardian.  I know that Bulldog makes one, but the cell phone holder is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".  Way to big!  Can anyone steer me to the appropriate brand. Any help would be appreciated.
