Bullfrog is the accent skin.

That holster looks great!  Love the bull frog accent.  Who's the maker?  The proud young owner looks very pleased.

I'm worried because the gun appears cocked and off safe.

I made the holster for him.  Oleg had posted a request on a forum we both belong to.  I thought the bullfrog would be a cool thing to add for a 9-year old's holster.

The gun is empty of ammo.  It was simply set up that way for the purpose of the pictures.

Kevin,
   That is indeed a fine looking holster, and a proud and happy looking owner.

Thanks for the kind words everyone - much appreciated.  

Seeing his reaction in the photos provides a great deal of satisfaction to me.  

There's more photos coming of him using the holster during some live fire exercises.  

We've been asked to make him a gun belt now.  Don't think I can find a bullfrog big enough for that though.  ;D

A good anchor for that holster would make a nice rig.

That wimpy one in the pic is not too practical.  

But, first things first.

He's off to a great start.
