I wanted to share a few recent holsters I have built. So here I go to start yet another thread showing my work. Only this will be the last new thread I will start for showing my holsters. Instead I will just continue to add them here to this thread. Some holsters are or will be my personal holsters and some will be ones that I have built to sell. I welcome comments, critiques, and suggestions. General discussion is welcome too. -
A happy customer i had today.

Face and backside. Kimber Pro Raptor II with 4" barrel. High-ride with a 15-degree rake/cant. -
Shoulder holster I just finished. Made with 6-7 oz leather (I think, cant remember for sure). Purchased already cut straps. Tried to antique the holster to show off the tooling, but wound up antiquing the whole thing. Still have much to learn. Sunflowers and dragonfly are stamped and painted. Holds a 380. Got the holster pattern from my daughter and had to cut it down to fit the pistol. The yoke was designed by me. Critiques welcomed. I know the stamping on the straps is substandard. I tried to tool some scrolling and wound up stamping over it. There are extra holes in the straps as I had to adjust for size. But it fits well and I will be wearing it for awhile to see how it feels. The rectangle on the holster is where the clip goes that holds it on. When I was fitting it for the holster, I noticed it scratching the leather, so I made a place for it to scratch without messing with the tooling. It was fairly easy, except for figuring out how long to make the straps.

So I had someone contact me, a d was very specific on his needs. Here's the part about him wanting a softer than normal holster: "I want it lined with suede or some soft material,so as not to take the finish off at the tip espically. Thanks I don't care about anything fancy. I don't like a holster that is stiff and won't bend can you help?" Not sure about the flexibility part. Once it's glued and wet molded, it's gonna be stiff. Any ideas? -
I made a holster for a friend of mine. It was a lot of work and I learned quite a bit. There are a billion things I can see wrong with it, y'all know what I mean, but overall I think it came out pretty good. -
This is the first pancake I have made from my own pattern. My stitch line is way too loose at the bottom in front of the trigger gaurd, but the retention seems to be pretty good. I obviously borrowed from JLS's patterns, (thanks for the freebies, I learned a lot making that 1911 pancake from your design). Holster is 4 layers of 4/5 oz. Veg tan from Tandy's, plus another layer of the same for the reinforcement panel. Stitching is Tandy's braided poly thread using a two mm. stitching chisel. I would really like to hear your critiques and suggestions. I know it aint perfect, but I am pretty happy with it. -
After a few failed attempts at a flatter back holster I decided to take a different route. Big shout out to Jeff at jlsleather! The kit comes with exceptional leather, more than enough thread, and detailed instructions. And if you have any questions, as I did, he's more than ready to help. There's a few things I wish I'd done differently but I'm very happy with the results. It rides better on the side than the 50/50 pancakes I've been making. The pistol doesn't bind when I cinch the belt down. Let me know what you guys think!

Does anyone have the pattern pack number for a Tandy Pack? I need to buy the correct pack that includes a western shoulder holster pattern for a customer. None of the Tandy Pattern packs I have includes a western style version - not the modern semi pistol - aka tactical version. If somebody knows which Pack Item number I need to buy I would appreciate it. - Thanks - Kent

A little something outside my normal 1911 work. This is an Avenger styled holster for a Smith and Wesson 686 with a 2.5 inch barrel. It was designed with a 15 degree forward cant. It has been hand crafted from 7/8 ounce top grain steer hide from the Hermann Oak Leather Co.

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I wanted to thank the community for all I read here about vinegar black. I am madly in love with using mordant instead of dye. I was able to turn out an impulse project in no time with my month old brew. It's a holster for my fabric scissors. I made the mistake of using the live edge of the hide for the rim (I liked the soft curve of it), but it's too floppy and soft for my liking, so I know next time to either line the rim or be sure to use a tougher inner part of the hide for that edge. It was instantly gratifying and deeply satisfying. I'm thankful for this forum and hope I can post and read more when I can get my head out of my work. Take care everyone! ~gemfox -
Probably crazy to ask but does anyone have a pattern for a magnum research desert eagle(44 if it matters)? Willing to pay for the pattern.

Thought I'd share my second holster. Very pleased with the turn out!! This is Herman oak and shark, also convertible from IWB to OWB.

For all of you who retail your holsters, do any of you have a Firearms Safety Compliance Statement? (Here is DeSantis' http://www.desantisholster.com/safety-compliance) Yes, I should (am) consulting legal counsel, and am not asking for legal advice on this board. I'm more curious as to why or why not you do/don't have one. I'm leary of making any sort of legal claims, but feel that it's a responsibility to promote firearm safety and responsible use of my products. Would love to hear some thoughts. Cheers!

Here's a fun one I just finished up... My first Avenger style for a revolver. I'm pleased with it-- the finish brought some good character out in the leather. Light brown and dark brown Fiebing's pro oil dye, Ritza 25 1.0mm cream thread. 8/9 oz Hermann Oak veg tan on all pieces. Critiques are welcome, thanks for looking! God bless, Tanner Claridge -
I made some holsters for blank k-frame revolvers. I hope, you like it! Alfa G020: Keseru Pitbull 2": Zoraki R1GG:

Zombie holster for 1911 pistol.
-
This is a copy of my dads left handed Bianchi flipped to right hand. The original is plain. 8-9oz leather with pig skin lining. For a Ruger Blackhawk .45. Also found out this leather is too thick for the Pull-the-Dots I got for it. (I have since discovered you can use the backs from line 24 with Pull-the-dots...too late) Probably should have used the larger basket weave stamp but I'm happy with it. Yes that wall is pink When we bought the house it was a nursery. Too lazy to paint so far.

For my first project I made a holster for my Ruger Mark III using 6-7oz tooling leather. I learned a lot from this project and can't wait to keep going. I dyed the outside with water based dye but left the inside alone because I didn't want the dye rubbing off on the gun. If someone has advice for how to treat the inside it would be greatly appreciated. Please leave comments - criticism is welcomed!

newbie to forum I made this by request to fit a stainless ruger

Just finished up another holster for a customer. IWB for a Walther PK380 pistol. This was my first style IWB for a pistol. Started on it on Sunday, drew up 2 or 3 different templates before coming up with this. I think it looks pretty good for my first one like this. I have done a revolver, but not a pistol. -
Although my shop is named Boulder Creek Saddle Shop, holster making has turned out to be the majority of our business. This holster, made for a Browning 1911 .380, is the first holster I've finished with acrylic paint. -
Recently made this for a family member. No patterns available, so had to come up with this on my own. There's some flaws, but over all I'm ok with it for a first try. Open to comments. Thanks
