New Todds Holster
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 5:11 pm
Ok, my new Raiders holster came two weeks ago but I was at school and didn't go home until this past weekend. When I got home there it was waiting on me. It's great. Not gonna post too much about it cause most people already know about them. But here it is right out of the box:
In the third pic is the little patch that covers the back of the brass stud. After reading about it in another post, I figured I'd post a pic of it. It's kind of a cool thing that Todd put on there to protect your gun.
I distressed it a little bit. I put 2 coats of leather conditioner on it. Then when it was dry, I LIGHTLY sanded it with fine grit sandpaper, and went over it with steel wool to remove some of the shine. Then I added a coat of brown KIWI shoe polish to darken it up. I'll probably work on it some more the next time I'm at home.
What do you guys think?
Actually, now that I think about it, I sanded/distressed it more after this picture was taken. It looks more distressed now than in the above pic.
