I'm rather partial of bones or antlers for my tools.... the bone tools that Tandy sells can easily be modified into custom tools.... the plastic should work too as long as your sure to get it as smooth as you can, polished if possible, to prevent damage to your project.... just be sure to test whatever you make on scrap and you should come up with something that'll fit your needs....

to put it simply, tools and techniques.... you'll have to experiment with different tools to use for molding and boning and will most likely wind up creating your own at some point.... I'm also curious.... is this an IWB without attachments added yet or a pancake style OWB without the slots cut.... if it's an OWB, you may want to bring the "ears" in a bit closer next time....

I do this full time and use a Cowboy 4500 daily.... I agree with everything renegade said above....

I'm just curious as to what size kydex you guys are having, or have heard of, issues with? I've been using .125" for a while now on all my clips and haven't had any failures reported back to me yet.... temperatures can also be a major factor in breakage issues with kydex.... or any other plastic for that matter.... if you get it too hot it will still mold and hold the shape, but the plastic itself will become much more brittle once it stiffens back up....

I'll take 'em both.... message sent....

I'd go with a 4-5oz liner if you're going to use the 11-12oz strips.... that'll keep the width right around 1/4" which has somewhat become the standard thickness for gun belts.... you'd come out with a much stronger belt if you got some 7-8oz strips and where able to criss-cross the grain.... if you cut the strips yourself from sides like I do it's easy to keep track of the grain direction with a few arrows from a sharpie on the back of the strips.... when you're ready to glue the strips just make sure the arrows are pointing opposite directions....

I gotta agree with Mike.... they look pretty good, but those stitch lines need to be tightened up quite a bit.... especially in the front of the trigger guard.... if you're hammering the models into the rig the trigger guard should be bottoming out against the surrounding stitch line.... my advice, in addition to the trigger guard stitching, would be to not leave so much excess at the end of the muzzle and shorten the stitch lines around the muzzle as well.... here's a little quick editing and a side by side pic with the Glock rig to give you a better idea what I'm talking about.... the stitch line was moved closer to the trigger guard and the excess material/stitching cleaned up a bit....

is the belt a single strip? if so, what weight leather did you use? if it's not thick enough it'll eventually stretch and sag under the weight of a Commander alone....

reduced to $75 shipped for all 3....

sorry folks.... was a pretty tired when I posted and just realized I posted an incorrect model.... the Ruger model is a 3" SP101, not GP101....

I have a few models available.... $35ea shipped or $85 for all 3.... email josh@shopleatherworks.com with Paypal info if interested.... Sig Mosquito 22 - like new condition.... without final blue finish.... Ruger GP101 - broken hammer, otherwise like new condition.... with blue finish.... Colt 5" 1911 Goverment - broken hammer, otherwise like new condition.... with blue finish

most of my requests are for various sized 1911's, Glocks, and M&P's....

I did the same thing with a Commander model to get a 4" model.... as Steven said, works like a champ....

all sold!

I've still got the following available and have added a few more.... $30ea shipped or $180 shipped for all 8.... P64 - Ring's H&K USP 45 - Duncan's Ruger GP101 - Ring's Ruger LCR - Ring's Glock 21 - Ring's Springfield XD 45 - Ring's S&W 4" K-frame modified for full underlug - Ring's S&W M&P 45 - Ring's

Kahr P45 is SPF to husker.... all other models now $30ea shipped.... or $80 shipped for all 3....

It looks like a regular holster clip.... it's the way it's mounted that makes it tuckable....

I'm definitely interested as well.... please let us know when you have more info....

Kahr mag is sold.... all models still available....

also found a new single Kahr 9-7 mag.... can be used for P9 or PM9 mag carriers.... $20 shipped

I have a few more available.... all were only used for a couple of rigs.... email josh@shopleatherworks.com with your Paypal info if interested.... $35 ea shipped or $125 shipped for all 4.... Polish P64 - Ring's S&W M&P 45 - Ring's Kahr P45 - Duncan's H&K USP 45 - Duncan's

I'll note that I would add a bit more clearance to the trigger guard area to allow for a full and unimpeded grip....

I've been trying to find one of the 5" Sig 1911's for almost a year now with no luck.... and now I'm getting requests for the 4" model too.... either Ring's or Duncan's is seriously missing out by not having these.....

all models are sold....

here's what's still left.... CZ 75 - Duncan's aluminum Glock 21 - Ring's H&K USP 45 - Duncan's aluminum S&W M&P 45 full size - Ring's Springfield XD 9 - Ring's Springfield XD 45 - Ring's
