Shooter.... the picatinny is the different rail I was referring to.... out of 20, 21, 29, 30, and the SF versions of those, the only one that will have an affect on holster fit is the 21SF because of the picatinny.... other than that, a SF version and non-SF version of the same gun are identical from a holster maker's point of view....

the best way I know of is for the customer to measure the belt they currently use, on the best fitting notch, while wearing the holster they plan to carry.... if they don't have a belt or a holster it's going to be hard to get a precise measurement for IWB use....

the dimensional differences between a 30 and a 30SF will have zero affect on fit/function of a holster.... the only place there is an actual difference in any dimension is the backstrap of the grip only.... the slide and rest of the frame are exactly the same dimensionally.... the same is also true for the 20 and 29.... where it makes a difference in holsters is with the Glock 21 and the 21 SF only.... the 21 SF has an entirely different rail than the 21 that sticks out below the frame.... with these two models it's a case of a 21 will fit a 21 SF holster, but a 21 SF will not fit a 21 holster due to the rail difference....

Awesome work!

I'm with these guys..... drawing a new pattern would be best....

Bob, I use Aussie on the flesh side on all of my rigs.... it'll only smooth it out if you try to burnish it after applying or it's inside a holster.... on any flesh side out rig I apply it as one of my last steps before completion.... I use a cheap foam brush to apply the Aussie keeping a fairly thin layer.... after letting it soak in for 30 minutes or so I do a few passes back and forth over it with a heat gun.... any of the Aussie that didn't soak in will turn to liquid and quickly soak in.... I've personally found without doing this it takes a lot longer it to completely soak in and you can easily wind up with a greasy feeling rig.... below are a couple pocket rigs and a stamped IWB that have all had the flesh sides treated this way.... Josh

it sounds to me that your model is slightly out of spec and is a bit smaller than it should be.... I actually had the same exact issue a while back with a Ring's G30 model too.... all the holsters fit the model perfect but were just too tight for the users.... I wound up ordering another model and the problem was solved with no issues since.... if I would have had a mic I would've measured them both to see what the actual difference was....

I use the Tandy contact cement made by Barge and haven't had any issues with horsehide....

I use Aussie on the outter/rough side of my pocket mags....

just thought I'd share.... the rig on the left is an OWB for a 1911 5" and the rig on the right is one of my DPS IWB/OWB's for a LC9.... both with cognac elephant trim....

per our emails, I'll take the full lot....

very nicely done!

I'm a bit curious.... are you trying to put something together almost like a portfolio of holsters with info, something that tells you how to make holsters, or a combination of both?

ah, gotcha.... thanks for the info and compliments!

alright, school me.... what's a dead soldier?

worked up a couple new rigs this week.... both were new patterns for me and my first time working with shark skin.... these were also the first two rigs sewn on my new Cowboy stitcher.... still have a bit of practice to do with the stitcher, but I don't think it's too bad for my first attempts.... as usual comments, opinions, criticism, sarcasm, etc. is always appreciated....

ALL MODELS HAVE BEEN SOLD! Thanks folks!

I've got a few more models for sale.... all of them, except the P239, have only been used to mold a couple kydex rigs so they are like new.... the P239 is like new but was used for a couple leather rigs and has a little bit of black dye stained on it.... 1 - Ring's Sig P229 without rail $35 1 - Ring's Sig P250 Compact $35 1 - ASP H&K USP Compact 45 $35 1 - ASP Sig P239 $35 all prices are shipped.... if someone wants to buy all 4 models I'll sell the lot for $125 shipped.... please email josh@shopleatherworks with Paypal info if interested....

I was looking into one of those recently when shopping around for a machine.... I'd heard reports of the feed dogs possibly damaging the leather so I went another direction instead.... for a few hundred dollars more you could get a new Cowboy CB3500 with a better feed mechanism and reverse.... I wound up going with a Cowboy CB4500 that just came in yesterday and couldn't be happier with the decision....
