How did I fix this holster? So incredibly loose
Kirkpatrick leather (the OEM, purchased in 2022) won’t respond to my emails I think having a piece of leather sewn on the inside where the blue line shows just to absorb some of that volume in there. Maybe 1” tall leather all the way belt loop to belt loop. I don’t need to be able to do American Ninja Warrior comps but maybe just hold it upside down and it not fall out. Hopeless or doable?

That chopper would be perfect, but I'm sure that's about $1500-2000 due to the melt job. My heart says a 2.5-3" L frame, common sense says K frame. Looks like I can pick up a 19-3/4 for $8-900 or a modern 66 for a little less. I would be shooting heavy 357s and 38s, so forcing cone issues on an early K frame would be a non-issue, right? |

Now that it's revolver month, I have a line on a stainless Ruger Security Six in 357 priced at $400. It's got some weird wear on it, looks like fleckled black spots. some kind of corrosion? none if it's in the barrel or cylinders, and it locks up fine with a good trigger.
