First shoulder holster

[Jordan]

Yes, I made a slider for the guitar strap by taking the hook thingy off the center bar of the buckle. It might work with a much smaller buckle although tandy carries a slider with a center pin, I forget the name of it, which I have used after grinding off the post so I did not have to punch holes in the strap.Haha, looked alittle lower and behold a topic of Conway buckle!

Yeah, I was hoping to not punch holes, especially on the suede. I think it'd be easier to adjust just by sliding. But I also still need the strap to be secure. I'd hate for it to move on me if friction gives way.

Do you think I'm giving the friction not enough credit to do the job?

On that guitar strap I was curious about that so I put one end in my vise and pulled as hard as I could on the other end with barely any movement noted. It may not be as secure with a smaller slide and lighter leather though.

You may have already thought about it, but I was just thinking of using a double D setup that would cinch up by pulling on the loose end of the strap. I noticed on some camping gear a plastic square buckle that has a serrated sliding bar that holds the strap tight when the loose end is pulled tight. Just thought I would throw these ideas out there.

Thanks

I'm using a 1" wide strap that tapers wider over the shoulder.

It just finally clicked how to keep the holster portion modular yet adjustable to the should straps and utilize the double D rings. The Drings would be attached to the holster....Duh lol It toook me a bit to figure that out. That makes the shoulder strap portion universal to the holster or mag pouch so that it can be interchanged with other models. And the nstraps can be made super easy to adjust.

I just had to take a look at our camping gear and or motorcycle helmets to get the placement right.

Thanks Jordan, you made the idea finally click on my head and I can finally step forward and get on with the hardware portion

I can finally step forward and get on with the hardware portion

I, for one, very much look forward to seeing the finished product.
