I have my template for the Stingray-C and it will help reduce time when making additional holsters for this model.

I agree that making several at one is more efficient than making one at a time.

Unfortunately the stitching process takes the most time for me.  I groove, use a roller for the stitch holes, push the diamond awl through the leather, and then stitch.  Part of my problem is it?s very time consuming trying to groove and accurately stitch the backside of the second piece of leather since I want both sides of the leather to match in the stitch lines.  I agreed that a machine is the way to go, but the nice thing about hand stitching is that I use a modified saddle stitch, which is very strong.

Dexter,
That is a good looking holster. I wish I was half as talented with leather working. It would save me an arm and a leg considering I'm a lefty and often have to pay more for my holsters.

I used to run the leather crafting unit at my prison. I didn't teach them. They taught themselves, and there was some good talent there. Leatherwork is pretty much an art, and you did a fine job on yours. Sure that its the first of many.

Thanks for all of the positive responses!  I wasn't sure if anyone would like the holster before I posted this thread.  I'm starting on my IWB C-100 holster tomorrow and it will probably take about two weeks to complete.  I'll post pictures when I finish it.

Thanks, Paul
