I have bought several of the Bunkhouse tool company molds including most of there blackpowder offerings and have been happy with them. As to Denix, I am a distributor for them. There list price is expensive however I sell to fellow leather workers at my price plus shipping so it is very close in price to blue guns, denix ect. PM me if you want more information.

Yes it definitely will I own an airweight

I have Sig P238 with CT. However I currently have 4 holster all wanted by Christmas. So it will be a bit before I can loan it out. FYI you can get the Crimson Trace shell for I can't remember if it is $25.00 or $30.00 it will fit on the P238 blue gun.

Correction to the above it is Jared, Defensive Carry Concepts http://www.defensive....com/index.html they don't list the mold guns they make on there site email him from there contact us and he will get back to you with a list of what they make. I checked and the last one I got from them is a Kimber Ultra CDP II.

There is a guy that has been on these forums that makes some that no one else does. Pretty sure he has the Ultra carry II. I think his screen name is Jerod and his company is Concealed Carry concepts. I will see if I can find his posts.

For a vertical old school style, Stohlmans holster book has a pattern.

I would mold first then antique then seal. When yo seal you are trying to make it water resistant also the Eco Flo is a water based product you stand a good chance of washings ome of the antiquing away.

That might be problematic, it is not going to break as cleanly as a snap. You might have to grab a tab and pull it a part instead of just a quick flip with the thumb like a snap.

Glue and stitch. The problem you may find is that the hook part will want to grab onto some clothing. I this a full flap or a thumb break type.

I am not sure what you are referring to. In the top hole of the stiffener is a rivet, in the bottom hole is a line 24 snap. Snaps and rivets can be purchased from Tandy, Springfield leather most leather supply stores.

Larry this might help, here are some pictures of thumb break. T warren said he is cutting off the unslotted end of a hose clamp then he would have to drill holes in it and round the ends off. You can get ready made ones. From the bluegunstore.com High Dessert Leather or Springfield Leather. I just bought some from Springfield I think they were about .59 cents each. I have bought from bluegun and High Desert in the past both products are good.

Collete, My sources for gator and croc are Roje leather http://www.rojeleather.com/ Mark Staton Company http://www.markstatonco.com/ and Johnny Fong in San Fransisco http://johnfongexoticleathers.com/ Both Johnny Fong and Mark Staton Company will cut pieces to your specifications. They charge a little more per foot but it is cheaper then buying the whole hide. Spring field leather often has croc back strap.

I assume the LEO is aware hazards of a SOB. Usually one of the concerns of the SOB is that if a person were to fall backwards the gun would end up being between the spine and the ground. For most people it would be unlikely that they would fall or at least a small chance. However being LEO puts him in situations of possibly running in pursuit or tussling with the bad guy, so the opportunity for injury increases. Also it is in the middle of his back that puts the area out of his forward and peripheral vision. Because SOB's do not usually have a thumb break or other retention strap it would be easier for some one to get to the gun and harder for him to retain it. Not much a holster maker can do about those. It will be up to the user to have awareness of those problems. .

I am glad he clarified things for you. I am a knife maker and sheath maker. No way are things going to happen the way he first described. However if you notice he has a logo or what ever it is supposed to be there is no doubt that is acid etched. O would say he is right it had nothing to do with your sheath. It was there before he put it in the sheath and did not notice it. Any acid strong enough to pit metal in two minutes would have destroyed sheath.

Not sure what happened to my post I sent him a PM then posted here an houror two ago that I had sent a PM

Springfield leather also has a Glove, Guantlet and Mitten pattern pack $12.99 http://springfieldleather.com/32536/Pattern%2CGloves-Gauntlet-Mitten/

I got PX$ full size and compact.

JLS have a shot of whiskey, when your memory comes back let me know what you need.

You should be proud of that project it turned out very nice.

Remember to that there are very few dummy guns that can't be resold. So if you buy a blue gun make a holster then turn around and sell it for $10 or 15.00 less then you paid for it, it works out about the same as if you had borrowed one and paid for shipping. Also if you priced your holster figuring in a little for the blue gun you may not be out much at all.

Actually I think in this venue for the most part it might work. We do it in the forums where everyone sees whats going on. I have loaned a couple of my blue guns to people i have never met and only communicated with on these forums. They have paid the postage both ways which cost them about $11.00 total. I had my blue gun gone for a week or so and it was returned in the same condition. It did not cost me a dime to give some one a helping hand. Every time I have done it everything went smoothly.

Explain to him the problem and either ask him to buy the blue gun or go in halves with you . If he really wants the holster he will most likely do it. It is cheaper for him then to pay an ffl for shipping both ways. If you want a good fitting holster you will need the real gun or the dummy gun. You might try asking if anyone on here has a dummy they would be willing to loan or rent. 2 day priority shipping would be $5.50 each way. Just remembered this guy has a Walther PPS listed in for sale . http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=65703

Walther PPS specs Specs for Glock 43 Length 6.26, height 4.25, width 1.02, Barrel length 3.39, The Glock 43 is a little bit wider and shorter then the PPS. Length: 6.3″ (160 mm) Height: 4.4″ (112 mm) Width: 0.91″ (23 mm) Barrel Length: 3.2″ (81 mm) Sight Radius: 5.4″ (137 mm)

Must not be a thing of the past if it is still being used by those that choose to use it.
