    I tried making what I'd refer to as a "Wild Bunch" style holster for a 1911. I thought it turned out pretty well.

    I pour a bit on a damp sponge and rub it in. When it dries, I buff with a shoe polishing brush. Next, I apply neutral shoe polish, anf buff again with the brush. I've never had a streaking problem, and am very pleased with the results.

    Oh dear! I asked this a while back, and it seemed to have struck a nerve with some here. I'm still not sure why. Good luck!

    Very nice indeed!!!

    Looks great!

    Your quite welcome. I will advise you that the 442 is hammerless, and the blue gun might be a replica of a model with a hammer. Depending on the style holster you are making, that could come into play. Otherwise, they are one in the same.

    yep.

    There are millions of knives with stacked laether handles that have seen years of hard use and abuse. I don't know why you couldn't make some 1911 grips with it. Please post photos if you do.

    Nothing really ground breaking, but I just finished this for a customer, and I thought it looked pretty cool. If I sew many belts, I going to need to look into a sewing machine!!!

    Looks great to me.

    What in the h3ll makes grown men want to do that??!!?? I know I'll get my mouth busted one day for saying something about it.

    Great topic! I've often wondered how it would be to rent a table at the gun show. I think Lobo summed it up pretty well.

    I'd be quite interesed in seeing it as well.

    I like that. It sort of dumps the speedloader out into your hand. Not at all what I had in mind......most likely better. Thanks.

    Very nice work.

    These are very concealable and quite comfortable. They are also pretty easy to make and sell well.

    When the dye is dry, I buff whatever it is with a shoe brush. That makes it shine, and gets all the dusty stuff off that rubs off later. Then you can finish it with whatever you want. I have good luck with the aerosol can of Super Sheen. Just don't spray it on too thick.

    I use a 3/8" hole punch on either end, then draw two lines with a pencil. I cut along the two lines with a hobby knife, and bevel the edges with a beveler.

    $4.61 each for belt blanks sounds like a great price to me. Did you ask if they'd make some thinner for you if you bought several? That would be worth a shot.

    Very nice work indeed.
  21. gregintenn
    LOL! I'll bet you could shoot pool with one of those.

    I turned down a job a few days ago to build an IWB with a thumb break. I explained to the gentleman why, but he insisted. I suggested he look at the selection of mass produced holsters. He didn't seem upset, but I don't think he understood either.

    For a full size pistol, I like two thicknesses of 8/9 oz leather. For lighter duty, You could back the blank with thinner leather, or else buy a skivver.

    I like it all, but the stitching design on the belt really adds class to the rig.
  25. gregintenn
    Thanks for the explanations. I don't care for a thumb break on a CCW holster of any style. Your answers sort of confirmed what I thought, but I was afraid I was missing something else. I'm lucky enough to have never been in the situations Lobo described. I don't envy anyone who has been.
