this for a 10.5" Scoped V frame...
I'm sure I'm in trouble for calling it Saint Patrick's Breast Plate;
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.[image]

Dat's a LOTTA purty leather!

Very nice tooling, too. Are you doing that, Rob?

I just did a more-or-less copy of the old Lawrence No. 31 for a 1911. I finished the welted edge the way you suggested and it came out great - looks much better than the way I was doing them before. Thanks!

Love that Celtic knot combined with the basket weave. That's one superb looking holster.
