I really love my 3 inch SP101 in .357, and decided to do some modifications to it myself. I also love my little Bond .45 Colt/.410 for EDC when woods walking etc.. With help from some fine folks on a couple leather crafting forums, I created my own holsters too.

Nice job TB!!!

[Tallbald]

Thanks. I should have shown the reverse sides of the holsters too. which I boned for a contoured fit. Don

that stitching looks outstanding!!!

I prefer plain over tooled but both look great.

When you start taking orders...let me know.

Excellent job.

What's the grip on your SP, out of curiosity?

[ColtPythonElite]

Very nice work.

[Tallbald]

Thank you each for your kind comments. The grips are an old set of Uncle Mike's Boot grips I trimmed on the sander years ago. I like the rubber feel when I have sweaty hands. The holsters are hand stitched. I draw up my own patterns and have had to modify patterns several times on some. I enjoy the leather work, and each holster has only about $3 in material in it. I make my own wax mixture for top coating. It really can be an inexpensive hobby if you keep things simple, but it's hard to keep from wanting to embellish a creation. Thanks again. Don

Very professional looking work, good job.

Thank you folks. I trimmed the shroud on the muzzle for a little different profile, and actually reversed the front sight, which I will drill the face of soon to receive a dot of fluorescent paint. It's a rather large pocket rig, but at 6 feet 4 inches and 300 pounds I can readily conceal it in my front jeans pocket. Don

Very nice.

I like the look of the flipped front sight. Would you mind elaborating on your reasons for doing it? Does it snag more? Is it easier to pick up? etc.

[Tallbald]

I just wanted to be able to apply the dot of paint, making the front sight easier to acquire. Wasn't able to do so on a ramp front. Don
