Custom holster for a Hwasan Mad Max Shoty

Decided I wanted a better way to carry Max on the field.

Took me about 3 nights of 3-4 hours each. I cheated on the shell holders by using an elastic stock shell holder, and haven't lined the belt with split grain hide yet, but I didn't have time before the game last Saturday.

Still think it turned out pretty BA :ownage:

Nice! How well does it stay in the holster? Does it impede your movement?

My main concern at first was weapon retention. I knew I couldn't do a leather hammer loop like typical Western holsters, but the weight of the gun and the depth of the holster kept the gun firmly in place while I was trudging up and down the hills in 1st Swords Enumclaw field.
Absolutely no movement impediments. I was able to run, kneel, crawl, roll, and climb over and around obstacles and never once came close to it coming out unless I was drawing it.


Thanks for the comments. I've been doing custom leather work for about 15 years. It seems to be a fading art form...
