1911 holster rig
JLSleather replied to blue62's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Looks good! My only 'coulda, woulda, shoulda" would be the mark from the sewing machine foot. Avoid them. Or if you can't avoid them, remove them. Or if ya can't avoid them and cant remove them, use a creaser or folder to BLEND them -
AvengerLayout.pdf A "50/50" pancake and what most call an "avenger" is THE SAME LAYOUT. If you already have a "pancake" pattern, you could give me a few bucks for an "avenger" pattern, OR YOU COULD just cut the front end off your "pancake" and mirror it, as discussed in this YEARS OLD article by sumdummy ...

No fair double dipping I don't go that deep in the port simply because i dont' want anything "catching" on it.. I want the holster to slightly "smooze out" the profile - like the snow fills a ditch - so it doesn't catch shirts, pockets, etc.. and telegraph that it's there. Holster looks good, though ... and nuthin' I said should be taken as "negative" or "bad" ... just each his own. I AM wondering how you got the trigger area so F L A T ...

yours are very much like what i'm talking about and I like to use graph paper (do they still call it that?) for the scale, but a guy could just put something in the scan for scale (to be sure it prints correct size later)

Found some patterns in the dark fringes of the computer... but ... wondering if I should make them available... They aren't "mirror image" or what I call "50/50", so I wonder if folks would appreciate these, or just ruin some leather not realizing they aren't "pancake" or "50/50"?

1) drain holes 2) blow holes (guy kin git that burned powder out the bottom with some air.. before it becomes ROUGE in the leather) 3) breather hole ... eliminating drag due to suction -

2-mag carrier, S/W Shield
JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Yeah, I suggested 2 belt loops behind the mags INSTEAD OF the slots outside the mags, since 4 mags for that gun would wrap about 1/3 the way around me He didn't like that idea.. aint sure why. -

Thanks Yeah, I think he did say something about competitions. I suggested since I already made this one, he might just want to go with another one just like it. 4-mag made in this style would be PURDY WIDE. Might have to post the pattern fer a few bucks ... -

Save some headaches and a LOT of time - order the pre-dyed leather if its' available in the shades you want. Dyeing it yourself "works", but you're likely going to end up with inconsistent shades (important for those who order 10 or 20 of something and want them to match). PLUS - you'll be out the time to order the dyes, to mix the shades, dip the parts, wait for drying and have the ROOM to dry that many parts, while still having space to work on something else while those are drying. Seriously, if you were making "one of" products, then dye it yourself and store less inventory. But if you're doing "50-100" pieces, buying the leather already dyed is a no-brainer. We've ordered drum dyed black for a long time... since it's SO popular in formed holsters. Yes, I order natural leather- mostly for projects getting tooled - and a few other colors I keep a bit of. But around here, an order of 6 or 8 would be about as big as it normally gets (infrequently goes outside of that). Wickett-Craig sells drum dyed skirting without a 20-side minimum, if that's your only concern. But if you're making HUNDREDS of pieces and like H.O. leather, I'd suggest just bite the bullet and get the 20. The TIME and LABOR you save will astonish you.

OOOPS... this aint fit in a priority box. Thassa 15" ruler, so .... maybe bump up to $18.50? I'll toss this in a box and gitter weighed.. pay the shippin an' it's yern. Most pieces big enough for a knife sheath, some would make a holster .... I won't cut anything unless it don't fit in the box. Most is 7/8 oz, but there's a bit of 5/6 and a tad of 3/4. Okay.. this FILLS a box 16" x 12" x 7
