Members Coho Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 Thought I'd share as well. Here is my result on my first revolver holster : Quote FIVE Leather , Calgary AB
Members Jim Posted February 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 5, 2015 Fellers, if the holster is a little tighter than you'd like it to be, enlarge the the next holster template just a bit. Wet molding is not needed. Trust me on this. Jom Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.

Members Red Bear Haraldsson Posted June 26, 2015 Members Report Posted June 26, 2015 All righty Jim, I have a couple of questions. Figures 25 and 26 show making the marks for the slots for the loops... How much wider than the holster should the slot holes in the skirt be? It looks like you are holding the pattern down flat to the table to make the marks on the skirt and on the skirt you mark where the edge of the holster sits... do the slot holes stick out from under the holster on the pattern?Ugh, I'm tired, I cannot tell if this even makes any sense. I'm mixing your tutorial, Will Ghormley's "Johnny Ringo" rig and Red Cent's reverse sewn holster. It is a bit ambitious for me so I am trying to get all the questions hammered out first. Any help is greatly appreciated, Red Bear P.S. Hey, did you get pictures from the P-51 flight at the beginning of the month? Quote
Members Jim Posted June 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2015 The ends of the loos should e tend no more than 5/8" from the edges of the holster pattern. And yes I got some photos and 39 minutes of video. Jim Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.
Members Blackey Cole Posted July 18, 2015 Members Report Posted July 18, 2015 I didn't seal the inside. This is just a prototype before I make the real thing. Also, the gun fits pretty tightly. Is there a way to get it so there is not retention. More for faster draw when Cowboy Action Shooting? If you want to make the inside free of resistance try some kg9 leather cote. It is what several top sass shooters use. I loan some last year to ledgendary lawman he quickly came for some more for seriniy the world champion classic cowgirl last two years running iirc. They promptly order their own after last years EOT it makes that much of a difference I apply using a dabber at home and touch up with a finger if needed during a match. Iirc it contains Teflon from what I've been told. Quote
Members Blackey Cole Posted July 18, 2015 Members Report Posted July 18, 2015 Jim, thank you again for the free x, this time it's a tutorial. I have a question for you concerning a holster design put out by Kirtpatrick leather as I buy their long hunter 09 holsters for competition. I made a set based on the look of them before buying my first set but I didn't have the wide belt reinforcement or the tab for the belt to keep the holster from riding up on the draw. My question is could you do a tutorial on how to design that extra material that follows the belt.to keep the holster from twisting and if you do a whole holster from a-z add in how to Chang the angle on a pattern from straight to 5-10 muzzle forward which appears to be what the lh08 uses for straight drop, and then a 30degree angle muzzle forward and then a couple of muzzle rearward angles so that I learn how and where the angle should be made because I've taken a straight drop holster pattern copied it drew a center line down it and bent that line by cutting and taping but it wasn't exactly correct it worked but I can see it could be done better.qest for knowledge off.

Members Hawk Scarbrough Posted October 14, 2015 Members Report Posted October 14, 2015 I wish I had seen your excellent tutorial BEFORE I made my holster (left handed buscadero style) Quote
