ETA... N/M I just bought the stuff to try it myself.

I picked up a new revolver & need a descent holster for it. Have not found anything online I like. Anyone here can make one like this?

I'm certainly no expert, but that looks well done to me!

Just to be clear I did not make that one that's just a picture I found online. I hope mine turns out that good or better.

I have a lot of experience.

IM me and I would be more than happy to give you the ins and outs
of making a Kydex holster for that type of pistol.

 James has made me two seperate holsters. I like my owb holsters to ride a tad bit lower than most available. James made it exactly as I was looking for. +1 for his holsters.

Oops! Sorry for my confusion. I just re-read it and realize I misinterpreted what you wrote. ??

I did make a couple holsters a long time ago, the type that are 2 pieces of kydex with rivets down both sides.  I’ve got a press put together and I’ve made a sight channel and I have a “ recessed pocket “ for the screw attachment point.

My stuff came in today so I was able to try it out. I ended up getting the Kydex just a little bit too hot but not so much that I messed up the look. I’ll put the attachment point across from the cylinder I see now that I should’ve put it lower. When I go to draw it the muzzle end of the gun wants to pull away from my body and not slide out smooth so I added the string to tie it to my leg. I had intentions of just putting rivets to hold it closed but it was too tight so I had to put screws with rubber washers to give a little relief. My kydex must’ve shrink a little when I heated it because I should’ve had enough to cover the trigger guard but I came up short. I think it turned out pretty good but I did also learn a thing or two. I still need to finish the edges and maybe remove a little more kydex here or there.
