Hello Folks! Today I'm making a Hand Tooled Leather Holster for a Ruger Mark II pistol. My destructive Cousin Seth is here for a visit too! HAW!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

What a pleasure it is to watch a true artist and craftsman at work. I love things that are functional but when they are also beautiful it has a compounded reward. You my friend are truly blessed to be both. When the Lord was handing out talents, he tipped his hand and spilled them on you. Thank you so much for sharing and have a blessed day, my friend. PB

Very nice work Gary. That's a pleasure to watch. That scabbard will last generations if it's given the respect it's due. Probably at least 2 decades if it's used hard. I love how durable and functional leather is. It smells great in the shop too. Nicely done Sir.

My Ruger single seven watched this with me. It's bright shiny smile said it is in need of a home like that. Now I'll have to be on the lookout for something very close to your creation. Magnificent work sir, a good oil job and it'll be ready for the woods. I've grown very fond of that little pistol, 32 cal, almost 357 power. Light, accurate as they come. Only complaint is it's loud with protection.

@MuskratOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Thank you! No, the beaver tails have too much pattern on them from the scales. You might be able to combine the two types of leather into something though. Beaver Tail inlay or something.

@timberdrifter8225 Жыл бұрын

Nice work. I always learn something watching you work leather. You aught to sell that fella the rocking horse to match his holster. I've got that same gun but with the black frame. I carry it in an old hunter holster made to fit a 1911. I'll make a holster for it eventually. I prefer the rear sight to be inside the holster or at least have a leather tab covering it since I tend to bang it into things like car doors, benches, rifle stocks etc. I've had to replace the sight blade.

@MuskratOutdoors Жыл бұрын
