Avenger For Ruger P95
jetman1981 replied to jetman1981's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks for the info....gonna see about making up a batch of it and see how I like it. -
Good looking work Eric.....how about a photo of the inside of the journal?

A good friend asked me to make an Avenger style holster for his new Ruger P95. He wanted it simple, without a lot of bone work. So this is what he received. I want to ask how some of the experts how they keep their white thread from picking up the dye from the holster when sewing. I waited two days after dying to begin my hand saddle stitch, but there was still black dye being picked up by the thread. I wanted the white thread to really be bright, but it ended up dull and almost gray. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Well the pancake was made from looking at what people had shown on this site. Found something that I liked and made modifications to suit me.For patterns I make my own from file folders. Eddie

Eric, if it bothers you enough to post the question on here, then it will bother you until you make it right. Even if the customer says it is OK.....it is still your work on his hip. Just my 2 cents worth. -

I agree, particle was such a big help too. I must have watched his video a 100 times. Nice definition on your holster too, one thing about the 8-9 ounce leather is that is is a real challenge to get detail definition. Denster on here has so great tips that I am in the process of trying. As far as the edges go, all the credit goes to Hidepounder and his awesome instructions that he has so graciously posted on here. Keep up the good work and post some more of your projects. And yes I sewed these by hand, still learning as I go. -

The video that Particle posted was what really got me into this leatherworking venture. He was also very helpful when I had emailed him to ask more specfic questions. I appreciated the positive feed back and encouragemnet !!! -

Thanks Lobo.....I need to thank Hidepounder for his instructions on the edges, they were very helpful indeed. Thanks for the positive comments too, it is great to get feedback from those who have more experience than I, it is very encouraging indeed. -

Thanks for the kind words.......I still have a long way to go, but the journey will be rewarding. -
Thanks to the many fine people on here that are willing to share their talent and expertise I was able to complete these first two holsters. The first holster was for the Ruger, an "avenger" style. After that holster I was hooked. The second one was for my Glock 21, and went with the pancake style. I used 8-9 oz HO for the holsters. I still have so much to learn and I appreciate those who have helped me to get started.

I saw you post about creating a pattern for a holster. Just getting into this this myself and I have a lot of questions about creating the patterns. Do you have pictures of some of your patterns so I can see how you developed them? I have a Glock 21 & Ruger SR9 that I want to make holsters for and would really like some insight.Eddie at jetman1981@comcast.net
