Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 20, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 20, 2008 Here are some photos of what I am playing around with right now, I have a IWB for it but I want a belt slot model for practice mostley. It's for my Bersa .380 Thunder. I wanted to try out the idea of a sewn in wedge for a sight channel. Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted February 20, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks for showing how you layout your design. Off track a little but, how do you like the Bersa? I'm trying to decide between the Bersa and CZ 380's. Looking for something smaller than my Browing High Power.

Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Posted February 20, 2008 I can't wait to see this one either. If you would just go out and get one of the CC models, you wouldn't have to worry about that sight channel at all, though. :D Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 20, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 20, 2008 I like the bersa, quite good quality for the price, made in argentina, I was looking at the PPK but didn't have the money. Size and weight are comprable, alot of good reviews online. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 20, 2008 Moderator Report Posted February 20, 2008 Regis, Ditto on the Bersa 380. That is my "travel" pal of choice. I've had it 4-5 years, and run a few through it every month as well. Also the last thing a few down cattle have seen at our place.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 21, 2008 Major hijack here, (sorry), but Ruger is releasing a new .380 in mid march- LCP is it's designation. Mostly a Keltec clone, but from Ruger, there ought not be any questions on quality/craftsmanship.

Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 21, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 21, 2008 Here it is sewn and moulded, stitches look ok on the front but like crap on the back, now gotta wait for it to dry before I finish it any suggestions on color? I'm thinkin lite brown or tan Quote
Members WaG35 Posted February 21, 2008 Members Report Posted February 21, 2008 Nice, I vote Mahogony. How did the welt work out for the sight channel? Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 21, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 21, 2008 Seems to have worked pretty good, lined up and made a smooth channel for the sight. I just dyed the edges black and smoothed them up with some gum trag. Still debating color I need to dig out some of my belts and see what will matchup. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 22, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) All done with this one, other than the backside stitching I'm pretty happy with it and will start wearing it tomorrow to see how it works for me. Finished it with Tandy all in one Tan pre ecoflow and clear acrylic over that. Feels very hard but I am hoping it will soften up with use. I don't know what that spot is in the center of the 1st pic it is not on the holster probably some stray flash. Edited February 22, 2008 by Jordan Quote
