Title: C&B Slim Jim
Post by: Mongo40 on February 03, 2013
I set up lastnight watching westerns an made me a LH Cross Draw slimjim holster for my Pietta 1860 Army, Stained with vinegaroon, Tandy leather had some 6/7 ounce leather rectangles for $20, just enough to make two holster out of, not bad for a first holster, I like it an it definitely will work, Now to make one for my brass framed one.

Very nice. I think it looks great.  thmbsup I noticed some stampings...kinda dark, so I tried to enhance it. Like I said...looks great!

Yes I put my initials on it an some oak leaves then did a border around the whole thing with a southwest diamond stamp, not PC but wasn't really going for that.
