Building my first holster
kiwican replied to kiwican's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Ahh yes well, in Canada you have the right to defend yourself...but you may not plan for it! if you carry a knife and the police ask what its for and you say its for self defence then you can be arrested and charged with one of a number of weapons' offences, same with any device really. When the Gov asks you why you want a Firearms licence and you say for self defence you will not get said licence. If you shoot someone on your property you will be spending time in one of her majesty's hotels. The concept of castle doctrine was starting to creep in via caselaw but then the Liberals' got in and we are back to the bad guys having more rights than the citizenry they attack -

Thanks Dwight, no sweat shield on this one, the request was for without. This is Canada and we dont have the right to carry. Pistols may only be used on a range, you cannot even shoot them on your property and cannot use them to hunt with. This will not get used alot at all -
Building my first holster
kiwican replied to kiwican's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
So here it is, my first attempt. Two pieces of 7-8 ounce shoulder. Pre dyed in Black. I used .030 waxed thread in Scarlett. The retention is good without wearing it and really good when wearing it. Next one ill run the stitches closer in. There is a just the right amount of space between the holster and the grip for a really secure grab, even with my brand of tactical gloves on. I did some wet forming on both sides just for a bit of definition. Its super comfortable to wear too! more so than the kydex ones ive worn. Belt slots are two inch. Feed back appreciated !, Ive done some more forming since these were taken -

Hello all! well its finally happened. Someone has asked me to build a a pancake style holster for a Sig P226. I have watched plenty of builds and read what the experts here have to say. This will be built without a thumb break. I'm intending to use 7/8 or 8/9 cow shoulder, wet formed as tight to pistol as I can make it for good friction fit and canted to likely to a 15 degree angle. I think I'm looking for some guidance on weather I need a stiffener on the front and also ive read and seen many opinions on how close/far out the stich line needs to be from the molded part. Any advice welcome!
