Bingo Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Let me know what you think. The one thing I have a problem with is how I didn't make the stitching follow the lines of the gun around the trigger guard. Oh well...I learn as I go. I'm much happier with how the edges turned out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randyc Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Nice looking holster. After glueing, I use a holster press for my initial forming. I press the dry leather around the pistol and draw out my stitch lines. Once the stirch lines are drawn out, I flatten then stitch the holster. One I've finished the stitching, I wet the leahter and do my wet molding.

I was wondering if I should form before stitching. I just wonder if I'd be able to get the gun into the dry leather - it was pretty tight even after it got wet (haha, that sounds wrong). Also, short of a holster press, is there any other way to form it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
