My new 22/45 holster,,,

I made this for my Ruger 4.5" Slab-Side 22/45,,,
It's loosely patterned after the old M7 Tanker holster.





Just thought I would share it.

Another masterful job Aarond, that's really sharp. What would it take to persuade you to make another? I have a friend with a new 22/45 would love that. I don't think his is slab-sided if it makes a difference.

Hello spacecoast,,,

Money!,,,
Lots and lots of money!

Honestly man,,,
I have no idea how much I would need to charge.

I still haven't made the strap assembly as yet,,,
There is a fair amount of leather and hardware in that.

It took me three days of watching DVD's to make this one,,,
But there was a lot of pattern development going on in that time.

I'm going to try and make another pattern for my 5.5" barrel slab-side model,,,
You would think it would just need to make the holster an inch longer,,,
But the front sight is much bigger on the 5.5" target model.

What model & barrel length does your friend have?

Aarond

That is some fine work! When do we get to see your double holster set up for the new pair you got a bit ago?

As soon as I settle on a design for the rig.

I was originally thinking of a rig like the one from the movie The Shadow,,,
But when I finally found a decent pic of it,,,
I decided it was truly ugly. (insert barf icon here)

I'll come up with something soon though,,,
I can't dazzle anyone at the range with my shooting,,,
So I have to rely on wearing wickedly cool rigs to get the ladies attention.

Sweet.
My wife got my brand new 22/45 before we got out of the store and she need a holster. Put me on the list if you make some for sale.

very nice

Don't know how it would work for a slab side, but the regular ,45 flap holster works great on a std Mk I and II
