cazio Report post Posted March 31, 2009 I'm a newbie here and was looking for help with a gun belt pattern, I want to make the type of gun belt with the cartridge loops and haven't found anything yet. Does anyone know of a good book that might have some. I have made holsters and knife sheathes and a couple of regular belts but this would be my first belt with the cartridge loops. Thanks Cazio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh I'm all ears Josh, Let me know and I can send you my email or how ever you prefer to do it. I was thinking of a drop loop but am now thinking of a 3" wide straight belt. I'll wait to hear from you. Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Tandy sells a book entitled, "How to Make Holsters". Easily worth the few bucks. A tip---burnishing the edges is very important for a good looking belt or holster. Another good book is called, "Packing Iron". It covers many time periods, from horse pistols to modern stuff.
