Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted I use a combination of things, soft cases, door hanger and have resorted to stashing them like the Easter Bunny where ever I can jam them in. Right now I have 2 out at the spa, 7 out and 2 in the trunck. I need another storage device.

Thought I was good to go with a JP Enterprises RMR Mount for a Leupold Delta Point on an older S&W K Frame in 22. What options are out there or am I left with drilling and tapping the top strap?

The local show here in the state capitol is dismal. 25-30 years ago it was an entertaining large show but the promoter supposedly played some games and the vendors packed up and left. Since then it has been a small 40 or so table event packed with junk. I think I've attended three times in 27 years. The show this weekend was no better.
A friend went to the show at the fair grounds in Puyallup Fair Grounds and said the recent state legislation has killed gun shows there. The good for his as an out of state FFL was he is a source to sell their evil Assault weapons to when they want to sell them. I see Oregon following suit in the Left Coast escapades and will soon die too.

Look at the magtech 2.5" brass 410 cases. They take a LP primer and are just fine for your needs and save ya from paying a buck a round when you can find them.

10-12 oz and if it is alittle Thinner 7-8, I'll double it up. For tooling, get some 2" 3m 2020 masking tape and put it on the flesh side before you wet it and start tooling to keep the leather from spreading out. Before my tools were stolen, I would get the moisture level right on the working area of leather and cover it with a piece of glass. I would move the glass around to open up more area to work and cover the hole thing when I took a break to keep the moisture level more consistent. For stitching, I really improved appearance once I went to stitching irons and a stitching horse and watched Armitage leather stitching tutorial on the tube: youtu.be/dLU7TExxHcY?si=QgjiyIlGE9B-MQWc I use .8 and 1.0 ritza tiger thread, an awl with a sharpened #52 or 54 Saddlers awl and a stitching horse. For wet molding, w SAA holsters, I really don't wet mold tightly like I do forOWB/IWB 1911s, and autos. I mist water onto the surface until I just get the flexibility to bend without wrinkling on the inside if interior is smooth surface (doubled up) and allow to dry. Dry, with gun inside first layer I wet the second layer to mold over the first cause once you a apply the glue, you don't have the ability to mold cause once the surfaces touch it is pretty much it. Edges: Trim up edges with a sharp knife. I have a layer of 5-6oz leather glued to half a 5 gal paint stir stick oiled and topped with green polishing Rouge to use as a strop to keep edges sharp and a couple of foldable diamond hone in blue 1200 course, red med and green 1800 fine. Sand with 80, 120, 220 and 320 and start slicking. I settled with tagament(sp) as a slicking agent. Once edges are squared, beveled, sanded, dyed I slick them while damp. Allow to dry, touch up sand if needed and slick twice with tagament. Lightly sand if needed between slickings. Once edges are completed I fix just the edges only with Resolene (tandy) or mop n glow. Once edges are finished, I mark stitching lines, punch with pricking irons. If stich lines will be on the interior surfaces of the holster where they will ride on a finished surface, (frame, cylinder or barrel) I will punch those stitch lines before gluing the holster together and mark the stich line and add a stitching groove to countersink the stitch line so the thread which is waxed and will hold dirt doesn't rub the finish off.
