No reason for me to "take any credit" there... yer show on this one! Lookin' good, too. You coulda used teh "wrap around piece" with the stitched channel - just gotta think the order of operations (I know you likely already did , I'm saying that for the next reader). Lookin' good all over, fellas --- this is the point of those patterns... add yer own style... just a starting point! Now, I gotta catch a mail man and decide how I feel about being called "mechanically economical), which sounds a tad like 'anatomically sparse" Oh,..checkn' later, but how wide did you make the site channel strips?

I've had people ask for "no molding in teh trigger" just because they don't like the way it looks after some use, with the guard pulling at the leather fibers.

You should be takin' vantage o the discounts... like ... you know -- 10% for UPLOAD A PIC of what you did with a G27 pattern (for example) OR.. like that one where a guy loaned me a BT380 blue gun, and got the postage paid both ways AND a free pattern (this didn't happen, I'm just hopin' out loud here .. )

's'over at cutesy https://www.etsy.com/listing/486424992 Took me a minute there FYI.. teh 45 is 'just a tad' bigger than the 9 (not the same). Aguycould maybe get the 45 into teh holster made for the 9, but that holster wouldn't work for the 9 any more Oh, yeah -- plus the 45 gonna stick out the bottom 3/4" or so ..

The G43 STILL IS a popular one -- I really wondered for a while JUS HOW MANY o them things glock made!!@#!! Crazy for a while there ... And I'd say that around here, the most popular models still teh G19, G43, P938, and XDs45

Just under 61,000 downloads - and the winner is ... Glock 19 (5,109 downloads)

I'm not "determined" to sell it -- that G43 has been sitting around here in a box for about 2 years since teh gun came out and I bought multiples. was actually hoping someone had the BT380 and didn't need it (or even a P238) to trade, if they were going to buy the 43 anyway. But if I need to buy those, then the 43 is okay here, too.

I'm gonna go with Alex here.. most of those holsters are running about 6/7 oz (and I've actually seen some like 4/5 oz!) It's that same old tired inside radius/outside radius story I keep on tellin'... the thicker the leather, the wider the bend (which is what Alex said, just different spelling). Personally, I want it INSANELY detailed on the INSIDE.. for grip/friction, but not maybe so highly detailed on the outside - after all the idea is concealment, not ADVERTISING

Is the forsale also for swap? I got a rings Glock 43 - never used extra - and would trade for a Bersa Th .380 4...3....2....

Ahh..thanks- now I got ya.I wasn't seeing the "posts where teh slots would be" part. -- gotter now. And yeah, flex is good. As a rule, I make IWB's much more 'shaped' than the OWB's... not just flat, but curved PAST flat... same idea.

Well, was this reaction a bit severe? Seriously, I see people posting links to web sites and pootube videos all the time... I wouldn't think this that different. In fact, HOW MANY times has someone shown up here, to give us all a link to YET ANOTHER video about something that's been basically done to death And, I've never met her so I suppose I could be wrong - but I guess I've always assumed Johanna was a big girl capable of defending herself herself

Okay, I didn't get this at all? Got a pic?

Pay no attention to the screwy color from the camera .. these are black and natural.. showing some of the same lot listed above.

Actually, what you describe sounds pretty good! If you're not getting crisp detail, your leather may be either too wet or not wet enough.

Oh, crap... that's right. I aint put up a new pattern ALL YEAR

Exactly. So tell me again why we're discussing this? I don't buy what I can't see. You don't show me, because you don't want me to buy. Where is the problem? The "pet rock" sold MILLIONS of copies, at $4-8 each. Then there were "imitation" pet rocks. Then after some years, there was a "re-release" of the "original" pet rock I didn't buy any, and I didn't sell any, so... I did recognize that there were "knock offs" and that was largely due to the product being something that anyone could easily duplicate. But I didn't care...

Beret -- I like it But then, I've always been a dog lover, so you already had a leg up Get it.. leg up.... Mark, you bring up a couple of points, though I admit I'm not entirely sure why. I mean, if you don't want to show a pic, then don't. I wasn't necessarily talking about putting pics here (in fact, I suggested your own web site). I'm simply saying that IF you are in business to sell it, then to sell it to me then I need to see it. This could be done with a simple link (Beret did that nicely). I bought a no-name pneumatic stapler about 10 years ago, for about 40% of the Bostitch or the Makita. Still works great. They sold it to me by showing it to me. I wouldn't bet your last dollar on this one. LOTS of folks around leather -- well.. nevermind.. nothing will change and I'll just be irritated Surprising that you see "being in business" and "making art" as two different things. For those who "just" make art, then I guess it wouldn't matter if someone saw it or not. No reason to show it if you aren't trying to sell it. For those "being in business to make money", how will i buy it if I haven't seen it?@!

Mine were from a year ago. Still junk.

Dies, slings, and belt strips are sold. Still have the embossed straps, and will pick up cleaning from there!

$170 for a "bend" is a bit steep, but looks like you got some decent leather there, so not traumatic

I don't go out of my way to say something "negative", but I will do it. I tell my kids not to play in the street -- I'm not being "mean" or "negative", just trying to save us all some pain. On the other hand, if you get me a GOOD product, I'll say that too!

I don't know where that fits in "grading", but I dont' use 'fuzzy'. If they can't split it cleanly, then I'm out! Seriously, splitting is done all the time, and I wonder if someone who can't take care of that should even be supplying leather.

And the embossed straps.. 4 are 1 1/4" wide, rest are 1 1/2" 1 is 42" long, the rest are 48" or more New Balance shoe not for sale, but for scale only No finish on these, so you can dye/trim/stitch

The dies... small and large mag pouch from the site.. makes left or right hand with little modification (one die to make either hand). Plus weaver 1 1/2" punch -- the weaver is NOT particularly sharp, but in my defense, it came that way and I'm simply done sharpening tools BEFORE I get to use them $100 shipped in teh US. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (or the mess on the desk)

And a row of embossed straps.. long enough for belts.... say like 12 for $160 includes US shipping (seriously - this price is already bordering insanity). Line and stitch, done!
