MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER HOLSTER . . .
Yes, folks, Mr. Legendary Leather received another special request for a holster. Mr. Hit Factor from Michigan wanted a holster for his little missus . . . a holster that would hold a Smith & Wesson K-frame 22 revolver with a 6 inch barrel.
Mr. Legendary Leather used his own Smith & Wesson K-frame 38 Special as a model for this holster. In making his holsters, Mr. Legendary Leather prefers the gun that will be used in the holster, or a gun that is similar in size. In this case, the gun used as a model was the same frame size but a different caliber (which has no bearing on the holster). Molding the leather to the gun itself in the crafting process is what makes a particular gun mate finely with its holster.
A mighty fine thanks to Mr. Hit Factor for trusting the craftsmanship of Mr. Legendary Leather. We hope that he and the missus will be happy with the holster. For those of you who would like to visit Mr. Hit Factor's website, simply go to http://hitfactorshooting.com/

DETAILED DESIGN VS SIMPLE . . .
Mr. Legendary Leather is known for the versatility in his style. Original to a more primitive Native American style, Mr. Legendary Leather has come along way since then, adding carving/tooling to his repertoire. He has also adapted his work allowing for the customer's tastes. Everyone has their likes and dislikes and many times, even though it may not be a style to his liking, Mr. Legendary Leather will create a piece with the customer's specifications.
Enter "Dakota Kid". Mr. Legendary Leather created a knife/sheath set for the Dakota Kid a few months back. Dakota Kid was traveling back to the midwest and wanted a gift for his cousin. Upon his return, Dakota Kid, knowing how Mr. Legendary Leather is always looking for items he can use in his crafting, kindly brought back some antlers and a request for two more knife/sheath sets.
The Dakota Kid prefers his sheaths on the simple/plain side. Mr. Legendary Leather, a might more detailed in his ways but always happy to accomodate, found a certain pleasure and satisfaction in the plainly crafted sheaths and has decided, when time permits, to make another plain sheath to add to his finely crafted goods. The Dakota Kid was heard saying, "Maybe I'll have to keep both of these for myself."
Much gratitudes toward the Dakota Kid for kindly bringing them thar antlers on home to Mr. Legendary Leather!
