This is pretty much my first leatherworking project ever. I posted a loooong time ago asking for advice about making a holster, here's the finished product. A couple of the stitch lines are buggered up, that was when I tried to use a leather awl, before I broke all four needles in about ten minutes and learned the hard way that pre-punching holes with a nail is really the only right way to go about it.

This holster is a custom adaptation of a Milt-Sparks holster that is only made for autoloaders, so I could not get one for my revolver. Most people will tell you that it's impossible to conceal a revolver of that size in such a holster, which is why they aren't made. Well, mine conceals just fine under even a normal-fitting t-shirt. Overall, the project saved me over $100, and a six-month waiting list for ordered gunleather, and taught me a fun skill that I'm really enjoying.

Next project is already underway, a shoulder-holster, for wearing under a light jacket or winter coat.
