There were some mistakes made in it but I have to admit, it's a pretty good pattern and the holster is still perfectly usable.Craig,
All of those holsters are fine examples of leather working art, as is the one you made for my No3 Schofield. However, I have to admit there is a certain appeal in the simplicity of that first one at the bottom. It would look at home in the book Packing Iron. You were doing good work from the start.

That’s old Texas Red. Hah! Always someone faster, smoother or just plain lucky.
Very attractive holsters! Just the sort of holster I would be afraid to scratch!

Thanks! Lots of examples in my posts here, on the Etsy page and website. http://www.sixgunleather.comGorgeous work on all of them! I especially like the first one you made. It looks like something one might have encountered back when the Dragoon was king. If you have more examples you'd like to share, I think we'd all love to see them!
Thanks,
Dirty Bob
Is that an original Ruger Bearcat in one the pictures? 3 screws and brass trigger guard are identifying features.Two new Slim Jim holsters for the big 3rd Model Dragoon. One for a customer in dark walnut with double border stamping. One for me in chestnut with triple border stamping. At the bottom is the very first holster I made, which was for this sixgun back in 2013. Things sure have changed!

It's a Uberti 3rd Model Dragoon. The whole grip frame is brass. Hence the title, "big iron".Is that an original Ruger Bearcat in one the pictures? 3 screws and brass trigger guard are identifying features.
