Damn nice looking rig!! I hate having to get "undressed" to take my holster off, so I made some "J" hooks of my own. Been using the same holster for 5 or 6 years now

Thank you

Just finished this up today and wanted to share. Not 100% happy with the final result but it's something I can live with. Knowing how to make patterns would help, I'm sure, but until I figure out how to do that, I'll just keep running with an idea and try to make it come alive. I spent a little more than half my life in the pet cremation industry, until the company was sold and I got laid off, so now I'm hoping to make leather working my "new life" Skulls are carved and painted, 4 strand round braid keeper chain and some lacing I'm not that thrilled about....oh well! Over all I'm happy with it and pretty proud to show off. Thanks for looking

I did that to cover the safety. Glad you like it. Thats the nice thing about making my own, I can do what I want lol

Perfect explanation! Makes sense thank you for the info and compliment

Thank you, I'm rather happy with it

Sorry, I don't know how to get this last picture to show in the original post so I did this... It has a pretty wicked curve with the shells inserted, but I'm built like a 12 year old girl, so it still fits me. This was my first attempt at any kind of ammo carrier so I guess this is part of the learning "curve" if you will. Thoughts and comments always appreciated. Thanks for looking

I've really been wanting to try my hand at a western style holster, but lacking a revolver, I decided to go with a shell carrier. I just played with my French curves for the tooling design since the tooled area is slightly less then 2 inches and I didnt want to get too complicated in such a small area.

WOW! Thanks for that!! Its hand stitched to be honest, i don't know how to use a sewing machine. Thats something I want to learn and eventually get one for leather work, being able to use a machine would open up some major opportunities for me. Until that happens though its everything is hand stitched.

So this is a two part post. Part one being that not only did I finally make one, BUT I had a makers stamp made so I kinda feel "official" now. Part two being a request... What do you use for a liner? I want something easy to clean and should it be attached to the bag or removable? I keep flip flopping on which way would be better...

Thank you very much!

Thank you guys!

Thats pretty much what I'm thinking, any suggestions for which models? I have no idea how to decide what the most "popular" hand gun are

Thank you, I'm actually pretty happy with it and thats a rarity for me

Just finished this one and was hoping for some feedback.

Thats is pretty much my plan. Although I'd love to tell my wife I "need" all the actual guns to make holsters it ain't happening any time soon. I checked the link and tried emailing for a list but, it came back that the email address couldn't be found...

Makes a lot of sense, thanks for a starting point

I'd absolutely love to do a western at some point but don't know it there would be any kind of market near me, so I'm thinking mostly concealed or owb at this point

My apologies if this doesn't belong here but figured if not, someone will let me know and maybe point out a better place to ask...so here goes... Any suggestions for what model guns to get? There are about a bazillion handguns out there and obviously there is no way of getting one of everything. I'm usually given the gun to use to make sure everything fits well and looks good. Needless to say the holsters I have made were for either myself or friends so it wasn't an issue to hold on to the gun. Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks, I really hope it does!

Cross body. Every time I post here I have to try and resize my pics, and have no clue what I'm doing so I managed to get this one pic to post sorry.

Just finished this up today. Wasn't my favorite project, especially when I realized I forgot to add the straps on the front when I sewed the front and back together! (Facepalm!!) So had to break out the curved needles to get them on, BTW if anyone needs some sutures I got you! There's pockets for eights pair of shears, the 2 clip straps I mentioned, and a comb pocket in the back. Its cross body style and hangs about waist high. Thoughts comments welcome.

Hi, just looking for recommendations on getting a stamp or three made. Figured I'd try asking here rather than just googling and not really knowing what I'd end up with. Not gonna lie I'm not looking to go "cheap" but I'd like to keep it inexpensive, let's face it, with things the way they are right now I need to be bringing money IN much more than putting it out. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks. The creative is easy, its getting it out thats hard. Imagine seeing the "idea" and it looks like Victoria Falls, but then when you get the project done...well it looks like a slow trickle from the gutter lol. Thats my problem. But thanks again

Ummm...what?!
