Randyc Report post Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) With my web site up and running, I'm building and selling a few more holsters. Like the auto mechanic, who never has time to work on his own car, or the plumber with leaky pipes, I haven't had time to build any holsters for myself in awhile. I made this pocket holster for my own NAA .32 Guardian pistol. This holster is a combination of a front pocket and back pocket wallet type holster. The back panal is mounted to the holster body with durable duty line 24 snaps. I used some Zack White 5/6 oz. black drum dyed cowhide and covered the holster and back panal with Shark Skin. Comments and suggestions are welcome! Randy Edited March 24, 2009 by Randyc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobo Report post Posted March 24, 2009 Beautiful work, RandyC. Excellent design and fine execution. I also have a hard time getting around to equipping myself properly. Every time I make one for myself someone comes along and buys it. Hope you can hang onto this one for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post Posted March 24, 2009 I like it! How easy/hard is it to get your hand between the grip and the back panel? I've seen this kind of rig before, but I've never used one. Congratulations on getting a website up and running. I hope you do well with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randyc Report post Posted March 24, 2009 Lobo and Jeff, Thanks for the kind words! Jeff, Getting to the pistol kind of depends on how tight your back pocket is. The holster is only fastened to the back panal at the bottom. As you slide your hand over the grip, the back panal will pivot away from the holster body giving you a sure grip. I will most likely use the holster without the panal for weakside carry. Thats where I carry my backup weapon while working. I've built wallet holsters with the non-detatchable, stitched in back panal. That style is a little more difficult to mage a clean draw. I got the idea for a convertable pocket holster from holster maker Bob Hedley who uses 2 Chicago Screws to attach the back panal and a third Chicago Screw instead of stitching to help hold the holster together. I wanted the back panal to be quickly removeable without a screw driver. That the reason I went with the line 24 snaps. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
