Ideal stock/holster rig

The Ideal holster doesn't have a lifting strap. I haven't made a wooden form for any of my other holsters, but they are in better condition than the Ideal holster. I figured it was a prudent move to stabilize the Ideal holster a bit because the leather is rather thin and subject to flexing when you hold it to extend the telescoping parts plus the little bit of tension that is exerted by the belt clip. Like I said, it is probably overkill, but it was fun to do.
