That is a nice holster. BPA the pattern you sent me for the Walker will come in handy. That holster there is just what i need for my new Pietta stainless NMA i just acquired. If you have a pattern laying around for it i sure could use it. All i have for it is an old Cabelas Hunter holster that does it no justice. How much difference is the Walker pattern from the NMA pattern? They are both a California Slim Jim pattern right? I do love the hammer throng on that Walker holster and the wrap around pattern.

I would be happy to send you a copy of that pattern for the Remington NMA.

The holsters for the Walker and Remington are definitely different.

I do not know exactly what the definition is for a "Slim Jim/California" type holster, but I suppose this one could be called by that name. I just free-handed a design that looked right to me. I plan to make one for myself. I can easily make a copy of the pattern for you. Please give me a few days. I think I still have your mailing address.

The hammer thong is easy to add to any design, and I will include a few ideas with the pattern.

Will re PM it to you. This is a good holster but has no style. Good for field carry but yours looks better.

Interesting. Nice holster, and interesting story. I bet your friend has some good ones.
Yes, he certainly does! After he got out of the army, he wanted to forget about it and move on with his life. Looking back on it now, we talk and he tells me stuff he had forgotten and never knew anyone would be interested in hearing. We both think he should write a book describing his experiences growing up in the Soviet Union and his time in the Soviet military.

I wouldn't mind reading something like that. I was not a career Marine, but i served my country with as much dignity and professionalism as i could. I love my country with all my heart and still carry the oath i took in my heart very seriosly. The many cultures of this world, though different from ours, do have some very interesting similarities to ours. When it comes to the common man or woman be the civilian or military their goals are like ours. Raise their families in a safe and loving enviroment, though some cannot, we all want peace and posterity for our children and their children, and to see our bloodlines continue on. Ok now i am getting sentimental and showing my age. I will stop here.

Will do! Kamil is comeing over again this week after work to make another similar holster, but left handed. Kamil is left handed.

I didn't know it at the time, but he made the first one for his right handed brother, Igor, who lives in Magadon, Russian Far East, with his extremely good looking wife. They can own Italian replica guns, but only after they has been properly made inert (welded shut barrel, etc.).
 
I have a Russian friend named Kamil (which is actually a Turkish name). Interestingly, he served in the Soviet Army, and was stationed in Dresden, East Germany in the mid 1980s, and I drove past that army base when I was there, long before I ever met him. He said life in the Soviet military was a living hell, and your only function was as a slave laborer. His firearms instruction consisted of firing three rounds from and AK74!

Anyway, I have known him for about 15 years. He saw some of the holsters I have made, and recently asked me to show him how to make one. He has a Pietta NMA 1858 replica.

We made it last week in my garage after work. It turned out very well, especially for a first holster.

Well BPA thats gotta suck. Why own one if you cant shoot it. I mean i am sitting on my covered patio working on this holster and hunting squirrels, i keep my 22 sitting in the corner within reach. I got a bunch of white oak trees loaded with acorns but the little guys prefer my paper shell pecans and my bird feeder seed. So its open war on the little tree rats and the crows.
Point is its a shame he cant enjoy shooting them like we do, for right now, here in America.
