Different Holsters

[Dwight]

Recently asked for a pattern for a derringer holster . . . wound up making my own.

Also got a request for a big boy . . . Glock 10mm full size with laser 

And a request for a Ruger .45 . . . with laser.

Derringer was a pain in the neck . . . my vacuum pump ran overtime getting that thing shaped up . . . 

The Glock and Ruger needed special treatment so the holster didn't turn on the laser . . . wound up making a kydex interior holster . . .  covered with 7/8 veg tan . . . saddle tan to finish it with couple coats of 50/50 resolene.

Holstering and unholstering . . . sounds like the kydex holster . . . makes one do a double take looking at  the holster.

Anyway . . . sure don't plan on making these for a living . . . three of the hardest holsters I've ever made.

May God bless,

Dwight

Thank you  . . . Yup . . . suicide straps . . . both the Ruger and the Glock . . . belong to a fellow in his mid / late 80's . . . all sorts of rhumatizz . . . and I had to put something on there to make sure he didn't lose one to some teenage "grabber" if he was out.  He couldn't handle a thumb break.

Thumb break went on the derringer though.

May God bless,

Yeah . . . ugly it is . . . but .45 it also is . . . which kinda gives it a bit of a pass.

They're super ugly in 9mm

Lol. I like shooting .45, though I confess to carrying 9mm. My typical carry gun is a semi-custom CZ 75 P-01 Omega, though, with green and black grips, so it’s a lot prettier than that horrid Ruger.

My preferred carry gun is my SA officer model with walnut grips . . . feels SOOOOOOOOooooo good in the hand . . . and it shoots great as well.

But in many circumstances . . . especially as a pastor . . . discretion is necessary . . . so I have a little olive drab (??) S&W shield.  Handling it . . . I hate it . . . but for concealment . . . it goes in my back pocket . . . and I'm Roy Rogers all over again.

I cant speak for the others but my bond arms was probably one of the toughest holsters Ive made. I know your pain. 

 I took mine and dropped the trigger guard and then ordered a 3" barrel for it and the next holster was still diffucult but turned out much prettier. I used a metal clip to attatch to my belt so I can take it off easier when in a vehicle and such. 

 The thing I dont like about the bond arms is the serious lack of accuracy. I used to shoot on the police team in my home town and even with that training and experience I cant get mine to shoot strait. 

 Still better than throwing rocks I guess, just gotta be close.

That's a good looking alternative to my all black version . . . 

And I also like the longer barrel . . . 

Definitely better than throwing rocks . . . although historically a guy named David was pretty good.

I did black because my customer wanted it for concealed carry . . . and it was IWB . . . hidden amongst the shadows.

Have fun with it . . . may God bless,

Dwight
