I haven't stuck it in my pants for any length of time, I do have a paddle holster I made (my first holster ever, I need to make a new one) it works but I kinda went over kill with some of the leather, re-inforcements, rivets, chicago screws, etc... ultimately I have never been a gun carrier (I've carried afew times but not regularly). on the flip side I can't just practice my leather work without the goal of a finished product so my "practice" is my own stuff... every project intails a new aspect of construction. I got to thinking about a IWB because my brother-in-law carries that way and loves it so I figured "why not" but I couldn't decide which style.... I was going to do the flat backed pancake (what he carries) but I wanted to use some kydex with that one which I can't find localy. Well I started making a pancake style one the other day but now I'm on the ropes about the necessity of the "reinforcement strap", I'm using 8oz leather. Reaper; I was thinking about that style but I don't have any leather snaps (I picked up some clothing snaps from walmart but they suck) although I do have some belt clips. Good looking holster btw.

Hello, I've been thinking of making my first IWB holster for a while and I am trying to figure out which style to make... Pancake, flat side, or the one that looks like a basic belt clip type... what are the pro and cons of each of these? thank you.

If you can just ask the customer, it's their opinion that matters. At least that particular location wouldn't be that hard to hand sew. Personally that wouldn't stop me from buying it if I knew about it ahead of time and depending on how much I was paying.

Beautiful work, I'm currently working on a Spangenhelm with dragon motifs on the exposed plates... anyway is your backgrounding dyed? or does it just have a finish on it and thats just the color it turned?. thank you.
