Holster for that Spesco/DGG Revolver

July/22/2016

Holster Making, two days.

Decided to make a holster for that 2 in 1 Spesco/DGG revolver.
Heavy leather.   Hand Stitched.
This one will be a tight fit and very useful.

May add two holes at the muzzle end for a leg tie-down, for looks.

---

Some tooling, Not stained as yet.

Dated: PTB '16.

I hate the drilling of the stitching holes as the backside comes out rather crooked, bummer.  Drill is 1/16 inch diameter.

Top Edge
Size of belt loop.

Thickness of the leather in the trigger guard area, 2X.  Doubled stitched for the length of that swell, that was fun.

Both, Frontside

Both, Backside
The wedge sticks out as far as the cylinder, on this side.  Extra long for additional adjustments in the future.

Yesterday, this holster was "colored".
Natural for the "flower".
ECO Nut Brown for the outlining (hand painted) and same color for the rubbing.
Red is actually Orange Sharpie.
Finished with ECO sheen.

Seems popular to the locals.

Thanks for viewing!

I picked up this horn at an A.J., AZ. flea market, $5 OTD.
Carved an actual size plug from Walnut Burl, not round.
Outside curve of the resulting horn is 12 - 1/8 inches long.
Tip of the horn which was removed is about 2 inches long (not shown).

Short MP4 of the horn, poor quality.
