My Best Holster So Far
KB8UVM replied to KB8UVM's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I understand where you're coming from and I have squared the ends off before. My personal preference is to have the muzzle tucked up in just a little to help protect the muzzle and to have a smooth rounded leather edge on the backside that rides against my hip bone. Thanks for the input. -
My Best Holster So Far
KB8UVM replied to KB8UVM's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I use to stop the stitch groove at the stitching. I noticed a couple people on this forum that took the groove all the way around and I thought it looked pretty good that way. Since then I've done 3 holsters that way, it makes it easier to groove it like that and it adds that symmetrical look. -

I think this is my best looking holster so far. It's for a Glock 23. If you see anything that I can do different please let me know.

My First 'avenger Style Holster
KB8UVM replied to katsass's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I like the two tone look as well. Nice work. -
Thanks for the input Tac. I have used the dowel before for a sight channel and I tried it on this holster but I couldn't get the pistol to fit with the dowel, I made this holster a little to tight. I did work the pistol in and several times with a wet sight channel to cut a groove into the leather and after that I burnished the sight channel. Now when I draw the pistol out it comes out with a clean sight. I do agree with you that this style of holster is nice for large heavy pistols, it is comfortable and I can wear it all day and not notice it.

Thanks. I'm sad to say that I don't carry this gun much. It's the gun I wear when out in the woods camping, exploring, etc... This is a pretty heavy holster, I think this holster will out last the gun.

An Avenger style holster for My Ruger. I like the way this holster came out and it it's very comfortable carrying this big hog.

One of these days I need to try that. It looks good.

I decided to try a Derringer pocket holster. After many hours of searching the internet for different styles I landed on this style. While I was at it I figured I might as well make a little hip holster that can be used for driving. Next time I'll put a little more reverse cant in it.

Thanks Doc. For being my first holster I was proud of it. I've been lurking around these forums for a while mainly reading but I've decided it's time to start being a little more interactive. I've learned a lot from this forum so I figured I might as well contribute, at least with pics since I don't have much experience yet.

That's a nice looking holster Rob. Is it front molded only?

Just A Basic Holster

Very nice looking holster. To me simplicity looks better. -

This was my second holster. It didn't come out looking a nice as the Kel-Tec but I was still new at holster making. Looking back I can tell that the leather was to wet when I started to mold it. I've also learned to us larger radius on my holsters, they look a lot better. This holster was a simple little slider holster I did one day while playing around with some ideas. For the record I wanted the streak look that you see, it was done on purpose.
