Sass Rig
leatherquestions replied to Red Cent's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Real good lookin rig! I'm from N.C. myself (Rutherfordton). Now living in Kansas, but that will change when I finally decide I've had too much Flatland. Tip -

Whoopsie= New Holster For Me
leatherquestions replied to jdmracer12's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Good lookin holster. I'd like to see the completed rig, belt & holster together. Holster looks fine to me. I like plain & simple, and except for a little embossing, that's the way I make mine. My patrons seem to like it , too, cause they keep ordering them. Tip -
1911 Retention Strap?
leatherquestions replied to Bronson's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
The retention strap should always follow the plane of the barrel, not the center of the gun. If you make the strap in a straight line following the line of the barrel it works. At the same time you have to move the retention tab forward so it is also in line with the barrel. Works every time. -
Simple Holster
leatherquestions replied to Bryan M's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Slow Learner, The "stick in the barrel holster" he is referring to is the Versacarry. It's very simple: slip the rod into the barrel, clip it to your belt, instant IWB. I don't like the concept either, but that company is making a ton of money selling them. There are actually 2 companies retailing similar holsters, but I can't think of the others name. I hope you notice I made my suggestion without the bias of the other contributor. Tip -

Lcr Holster
leatherquestions replied to Hicks02's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Good job on the holster. I like the real wool, too. Glocks are definitely too heavy for ankle carry, unless your leg is about6 inches b igger than normal. I wear high boots, too, but in all my boots I sew a strap inside to carry a Colt Detective Special. It may take a little time to present, but I always have the backup (my Training Officer taught me that one years ago). Tip -

Correct Me If I Am Wrong
leatherquestions replied to glockanator's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Stainless steel is about the only finish that will give a little protection from rust on a gun. However, I would never line a holster with chrome tanned leather. It's just a disaster waiting to happen, especially if the gun stays in the holster most of the time. And then you might have an incensed customer saying you did something to make it happen. I'd rather have a customer upset because I refuse to do a bad thing, than do it and have him telling everyone it was my fault.And from experience this can happen even with a "friend". IMHO Tip -
2 Kbar Sheaths
leatherquestions replied to Grumpy Coyote's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I'll second Rohn's observation! I like the "interchangable" loop, hanger, clip, whatever you want. Change to go with any outfit. I especially like the retaining strap on the large one, very minimal and old school. Keep up the good work. Tip
