Has anyone tried converting a standard Webley holster to a shorter Raiders style? If so, how did you do it and how did it turn out?

Why would you do that? Is Indy's holster shorter? Does your gun shake about in the leather?
Yes...

Well, I couple of years ago while I was still in school, and was short on personal cash, ya know how it is being a teenager. Anyway, I converted my old LC Webley holster into a Raiders-esc holster. I started by cutting the length of the holster down to the Raiders size. Then I sanded it down until the color was natural than re-dyed it to the Raiders color. Of course also re-plugging the bottom and all thah work. It turned out really good, but I know longer own it. I sold it last year at the QM Summit.

Yeah it's shorter.
No gun to go in it yet, still looking for one.

What if you end up getting a longer gun? Then it won't fit in your holster.

Well the Raiders gun was short (4" barrel), hence the shorter holster.
And since I prefer the Raiders look over the others it should be shorter than the Webley holster.
