Ruger 2245 pistol mk2 holster pattern

[Albannach]

Hi Everyone 

I have been asked to make a holster for a Ruger 2245 MK2 pistol and was wondering if anyone has made one before and has a pattern that I could use. Here in New Zealand not many people own pistols ,but occasionally I get asked to make something for pistol club members. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers

If you have Stohlman's book How to Make Holsters, the pattern for Hi-Point .22 on page 19, or for 9mm Luger on page 27 should work.  The Ruger Mk II is very similarly shaped to both.  This book also has concise instructions on how to make pistol patterns.  Of course, you would need access to the pistol.  Would you be able to go to the pistol club to draw the outline of the gun?  Not sure how NZ's laws work.  Or, the owner might draw the outline for you, avoiding breaking any hinkey laws, and gives you the basis for a simple fold-over pattern. If you know how to make a knife sheath with this method, you can make a pistol holster the same way.

Hi TonyV

Thanks a lot for the reply  I think I will buy a copy of that book as it covers a wide range of holsters. Which will be handy when pistol club members want something made.
