Members Bert03241 Posted April 3, 2024 Members Report Posted April 3, 2024 (edited) I bought a Byrna SD because I really don't want to take a life if it can be avoided , But I can't find a patteren for a holster to fit it. I've tried twice now to male my own but I'm lousy at pattern making and wasted a lot of leather trying. So if anyone has a pattern and is willing to share I'd sure appreciate it.

Members Wepster Posted April 5, 2024 Members Report Posted April 5, 2024 May I suggest reaching out to your friends who may have a similar sized weapon? or even a gun shop, then perhaps you would be able to find a pattern for the pistol that closely resembles your Byrna. Quote
Members Gezzer Posted April 5, 2024 Members Report Posted April 5, 2024 @Bert03241 if you have $40.00 more to spend , buy one of their holsters and use it for a pattern . https://byrna.com/products/byrna-nylon-holster?variant=31820201033795 Quote
Members Mablung Posted April 5, 2024 Members Report Posted April 5, 2024 Something I have found immensely helpful is making a mockup out of EVA craft foam. The “medium” thickness is right about the same as 6 oz leather, so it works very nicely for mockups to check fit, before cutting into the leather. I’ve used it to then modify my paper patterns and then used the final mockup as my tracing and cutting pattern, when I move to cutting the leather. Quote
