Holster For A J Frame Sw
DannyBoyCustomLeather replied to DannyBoyCustomLeather's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Scott I wish I knew this from the get go, I must add to SW notes. You said I could have sizing problems even when using a blue gun, yikes , have not had any complications till now. I have substituted a SW 686 L frame for the ruger GP 100, and have done a few shims for lasers but always had good results. I stitch tight and always think minimal material and size is better. Thanks for your advice Scott and the many blessings that this forum offers Dan -
Holster For A J Frame Sw
DannyBoyCustomLeather replied to DannyBoyCustomLeather's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Camano I usually don't attempt a project without the exact blugun, to assure confidence in proper fit. I was having good success for a while, the problem I see is the FRONT SIGHT is also 1/4 maybe 3/8" bigger then the j frame snub nose that I used. My FFL reviews as well as myself failed to notice that difference.....shame. My first unhappy customer. I will have to order blue guns when needed, the cost of doing business. Dan -
Hi ray, new to the trade and need tools, are you able to post pics, not clear on each items difference to another. I will need 1 or 2 edgers and a Grover for sure, still available? Dan

Holster For A J Frame Sw
DannyBoyCustomLeather replied to DannyBoyCustomLeather's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I thought so, thanks for the reply! Customer said it dont fit and I made allowances for the extra barrel etc. oh well ill see it when he sends it back and ill find an actual SW 60 to try in it...... REFUND -
Hey there can I use a SW "J" frame 2" to make a holster for a SW 60-15? I can work out the 3" barrel and extended extractor pin but are there any other differences I need to consider?

Leather Stitching Machines
DannyBoyCustomLeather replied to DannyBoyCustomLeather's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
wizcraft i see the cowboy 3200 is the smallest you recommend. 3 layers of 9-10 0z leather would be about 1/2 inch and the most a holster would require i think. read your machine series and made a list of the important features thanks, triple feed, smooth feed dog,right toe jump foot, narrow slotted jump foot, edge guide, #25 needles and at least #138 to 207 thread , servo, cylinder for small shapely holsters, lg cap bobbins. These things all make sense, and are available features of the cowboy 3200? will i find a lightly used one any where? Dan -

your up at this hour also thanks for the reply how much are these machines -
Hey guys ive been poking around the web site and all i learned is that ill need more money to buy a decent machine! im making holsters and belts by hand using 8-10 oz leather with hand tools and having a great time, perfect labor of love, creativity, technical knowledge, use of hand tools and rewarding finished product that is in demand. Great hobby time for a machine and i only put together .....$1000 juki, consew, sewtech, cowboy, any 441 would be sweet. can i find a used machine of this size? Do i get a "Starter machine just to learn why i need a better one? Do i save up more money and do it right the first time? wizard, jeff hay holsters , what do you guys think? thanks in advance Dan
