Abram Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Here are my attempts at making a defender style holster. It was fun and challenging and I can't wait to do another one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted March 29, 2012 They look good frome here, . . . it may have just been the angle that the pictures were taken, . . . but the leather you used for the front piece that wraps: what weight of leather is that? Reason I asked, . . . it looks a bit on the hefty side, . . . but just may be the picture angle. Anyway, . . . good looking work. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abram Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Dwight, I used 8-9 ounce for the entire holster, it was all I had at the time. I may try another one using some thinner leather. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haystacker Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Nice job. i like your wrap piece covering so much in the front. For what it is worth I use 7/8 ounce leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglestroker Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Looks very nice. On the full length reinforcement, I might kick the toe in to match the stitching line of the holster. Just a thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
