Sharkskin would have to be bonded to a base leather such as 4/5 OZ cowhide. It is not particularly moisture resistant but it is very resistant to abrasion. Probably be kind of pricey in the range of $60 to $100 depending on who made it. Would look nice though.Originally Posted by ROFL SQUAD

Can moisture cause the sharkskin to separate from the base leather? I just don't want to sweat through the holster on a consistent basis if I am outside all day, etc.

Properly done it would not. Generally the bonding agent would be Barge's or Master's which aren't affected much by moisture. It would also be stitched.

I carried my North American Arms Guardian 380 in an Aker sharkskin holster for years. I never had a problem with wear or with moisture. I sold it recently, but it looked as good as the day I bought it.

I'm in process of making a Stingray pocket holster for a customer's Kel-tec with full anti print panel. Most leather holster makers use a top coat that seals the leather so moisture is not a problem.

MNBurl,
How much does adding a anti print panel add to the price of my Rough Out if I purchase it in shark? If need be, please PM. The Rough Out is very similiar to the cheapo Galco I am using now, and I love the design. My P3AT has a CT grip if that factors in your estimate.
Thanks,
J
