Hello everyone,

I guess this falls into the "& Such" portion of this forum.

I was commissioned to make a holster for the very first time, and he wanted it in my Apocalyptic Survivor style, so I did what I could. It is for a 9mm Browning Hi Power handgun and is made of 7-9oz horsehide leather with a molded sight channel, an integral reinforcing panel/belt slot wing, and hand stitching done with artificial sinew. The molding is as detailed as I was able to get out of the horsehide--it's just too dense to get much more definition than that, I'm afraid--but hopefully I get a few points for trying.

Thanks for looking!

Nice look. I have a friend that has a highpower will have to let him know about your work.
 
That is a nice rig, indeed. Is this something you may continue to offer? I've got a few handguns that could use some custom leather work...

Sure, why not? I do require either the gun, or a model of the gun, however. This means that if you are the first person to request a holster for a gun, you'll have to pay the cost of the model. The Browning Hi Power model is one I paid for myself because the gun is very common and I wanted one anyway to make some holsters for a gun show here in Phoenix.
