I like the black accent along the edges all the way around.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Re: December Western Gunbelt
The melt off occurred and UPS finally ran. Edge Kote in hand I was able to get into the shop, apply edge kote to the holster, sheath and gunbelt itself and reburnish the works. I am pleased to call this project done.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: December Western Gunbelt
For those who might wonder, the wet re-forming of the holster worked. The Uberti fits perfectly now. Sorry, I meant to post a pic of the refitted gun/holster combo. I wet molded the walmart bagged Single Action and let it stay in the holster for about six hours, then let the holster air dry for 24 hours after rolling the top edge. I rechecked the fit, made some minor corrections, then let 'er dry another 48 hours. The Edge Kote came in shortly after that and I was able to finish off the project.
