One of you guys requested that I post a pic of my Raiders-style gun holster project. I made it by hand with reclaimed leather from a flea market in Homburg, Germany.

Bear in mind, it is still in progress, and it is by no means perfect or absolutely screen-accurate. I'm still very new at leather craft and I don't have the tools or skills to make a perfect one yet. Still, it has been a fun project. Just gotta add the brass "button" and the holes to the strap and I'll probably call it done.

Lemme know what ya think!

Nice!

Enjoy the craft, it can get quite fun.

Thanks! Yeah, it's really fun so far. I made a front-pocket wallet from the leather too, and now that's the only one I'll carry

Yup. That's how it starts!

Nice job and with the re-claimed leather you are already on your way for the aged look.

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking of dying it to get a more accurate shade, but considering it already looks pretty good like this, I decided not to take a chance on messing it up.

Yeah. If you are only going for the SA thing then color matters , but with time and oils your holster will eventually look like that anyway to a certain degree.
I like the color of my 405s and would like to make a holster in that color one day.

Wow! Great job on the holster!

Good Job you done there.

Nice.
