Best part of the job, seeing vets get what they earned.

Soon to be on its way to Alaska for grizzley I've been told. Used a lot of cow here. Hermann Oak 8/9 body Hermann Oak 5/6 straps and connectors Fiebings pro dye dark and light brown 277 bonded nylon top and bottom Cobra class three machine Gotta like a big gun...

Last summer I did 5 pancake holsters for a wedding. Groom, best man, and 3 Groomsman's. All 45 acp, except the best man's, that was a Daisy 1911 air pistol (he was 9). They were a Kimber, an RIA, Khar, can't remember the 5th other than the Daisy. I put the groom, best man (9yo), and Groomsman on them with the date of the wedding imprinted on the back. Thank you Leatherstampmaker.com, worked out great. I never had all of the pistols together at the same time,so asked if he could send me photos. Well, I didn't hear from him until today. He lost my number but found it today and sent pics. They all loved them. The young man wore his for 3 days after the event. Some of these folks are military and police so can't show their faces, but this made my year!

Very nice work my friend! We can always see "mistakes " that others will never notice, or consider them priceless evidence of a handmade item. Thank you for your continued service. USN 72-76 Retired RN, US Veterans Administration Healthcare System.

I think it's very nice. I usually double stitch close to the weapon and double (really triple) stitch at the top and bottom of the gun. Not sure it's needed, but I like the little extra touche it gives. People notice. Nice job!

Very nice. Although I've always wondered why they felt it necessary to leave the trigger exposed.

Very nice work!

Hope I dont see this on CSI!

Manila file folders or cardstock for smaller things, the hard craft paper that separates the toilet paper at Costco for larger stuff.

Welcome! There are many sources for leather for what you want to make. One person in my area males wallets out of old baseball gloves. They look great and he sells quite a few of them. I hope you can find what you need. Good luck!

Very nice! And one of the big reasons I sprung for a cobra!

Very nice work.

Wicked nice man..

Very nice indeed!

Unfortunately yes, vacuforming may smash some of the detail. But I really only basket weave on a reinforcing piece on the front, and don't really notice it. I believe if you carved and tooled, it may be minimal. I like the bottom of the holster as you did it. It allows it to drain should the need arise, and protects the end of the pistol.

That looks very nice for a first attempt. Trace your gun, add 1/2 the slide width + the thickness of the leather for a pretty good stitch line. I also draw a line from the top of thefrontsight to the top of thereafter sight and space the stitch line from that to allow for front sight clearance. Good work!

I use 8/9 with a 4/5 backing to hold up holsters and pouches. Works well.

A picture would help a lot. Do you mean a trijicon type/holo sight, or a round red dot sight. I've done both, but would like to know.

These are 2 I have come up with. The one for the stamping tools is 2 layers of 1x6 with holes in the top board. The other is a 2$ knife block from goodwill that I drilled to hold various tools I use for punching holes, corners, ect...

Ditto the bonded nylon from LMC and toledo. I have been using 277 top and bottom for a long time with no issues on my cobra class 3.

Nicely done sir!

I also did the scrap granite deal. Tipped the office girl $5 bucks for showingme the scrap pile.

Very cool. Nice attention to detail, and well thought out.

Nice

Welcome! Very nice.
