I recently finished my first revolver holsters. Had a customer who wanted a pancake style OWB with some elephant skin for his 3 inch S&W M65. I made a few prototypes first. I made the third and final prototype with some cowhide simulating the elephant skin overlay. The dummy gun is for a 4 inch barrel K-frame, hence the barrel protruding from the bottom. Looks kind of goofy with it sticking out like that, but what can you do :-) Here's a few pics:

I was so excited about finally making a revolver holster, that I snagged a used J-frame dummy when it came up for sale. Made a prototype, and then made this holster to finalize the pattern:

Looking good! I like the faux elephant skin.

Thanks! The brown one with the brown overlay is the prototype. I used the same cowhide to simulate the pattern for the elephant. The black one with the tan/sand colored skin is genuine elephant, not faux.
