  1. I agree completely Billsotx. The contact cement provides much more than stitching and more holes the weaker.
  2. Very good looking rig and very well made. Keep up the good work.
  3. Good looking rig Bruce. I sold 3 "Block" 30 holsters at the gun show over the weekend. They are a good seller and much better than G17 or 19 because every where has those.
  4. I generally shoot for 3/16 but it can vary depending on the holster. :D
  5. Good job Randy. I get the happy foot at times and have started a holster for a full size gun and turned into a compact holster . I do like the tan color you have done. Keep up the good work.
  6. Here is the best place I have found for blue guns. Blue Guns I would recommend... J-frame Ruger SP101 and LCP Kahr Kel-tec PF9, P3xx Glock 26, 19, 17, 20/21, 30 and 36 XD 3 and 4" 1911 3, 4, 4.25, 5 M&P full size and compact Sigs 229, 239 and 230/2 Hope this helps.
  7. Good collection. Wide variety of options.
  8. Hi Rick, The rattler is lined with 5 oz and outside is 5 oz also good heavy duty holster. The Inlay does require you to do things completely different due to the pre-dying the leather,then assembly, hot wet form, touch up the color and finish... instead of assembly, how wet form, then dye and finish. Lots of practice and find out a way that works for you because we all do things slightly or very differently depending on our decisions and background. They were real fun to do but took more time.
  9. So far so good. It shoots well but have to get use to DA/SA again.
  10. Well, I have been having some fun with exotics for my holsters and wanted to show a couple off. I did one with alligator on the outside between the stitching lines of a normal The Slide for my PT140 Pro. The other was an insert with red dyed rattle snake The Slide for my 66-1 2.5". Let me know how you like them.
  11. Very cool holster for your Bersa Thunder 380. Love the look of it.
  12. Great overview. Thanks for posting the overview.
  13. I use Resolene also cut about 50/50 with water to lower the sheen to a nice look and reduce the tackiness you can get with full strength. I have never had a holster bleed through using it.
  14. I also use a small dowel rod to wet form a site track. I don't use head knifes. I use shears and good quality snap off knife blades to do my cutting. For slots, I have a half moon chizel that is ~1/4" wide for top and bottom and use the knife and straight edge. Use a press to do the heavy forming but hand boning is the way to go. I use deer antlers for boning and works great for burnishing also. I made my own drill press burnisher with 1/2" oak dowel and use a round file and cut in different size groves to handle different thicknesses. This saves time and I have made one for each color.
