I know it really doesn't apply to this particular post but I am trying to get one of your old patterns. I can't seem to find the callahan shoulder holster pattern available anywhere. I really would like to make 1 of these holsters and was wondering if you knew a place where they were still available?

@KustomKreator,  This is a long time overdue, but it you are still interested, Double K Leather has the Callahan Holster Pattern along with the Callahan Shoulder Holster Pattern here:  https://www.doublekleather.com/product-category/educational-resources/patterns

*** Jim Simmons' Plains and Ranger Gun Belt Templates and Instructions ***

Also Jim provided us with his method for making and sizing both the Plains and Ranger style gun belts in a thread years ago that is buried somewhere deep on this forum, that I stumble upon from time to time.  I requested that it be pinned, just as this thread along with the California Holster threads are, as it is a valuable resource that should be easily accessible, but it never was. So here is the next best thing.  For those looking for Jim's pdf's on his Plains and Ranger Gun Belt templates along with Instructions pdfs, here are links for those files. The Ranger Belt Instructions file #2 also has the instructions for the Plains Gun Belt. These belts go great with Jim's Cowboy Holster tutorial in this thread, as well as the California Holster thread also pinned in this category. Clicking on the links will download the files.

*If you can print on 11" x 17" (tabloid) paper, the templates will print to the correct scale.

I hope you find these as useful as I did. For those of us who make western style holsters and rigs, we all owe Jim a debt of gratitude for making these resources available to the community.

@Jim AKA @Brazos Jack If you are still out there and possibly lurking here, I just want you to know how deeply gratefully I am to you for passing on your knowledge.  I doubt that I would be able to make the quality rigs that I do, if it were not for you. - Thank You! You sure are missed around here.

Callahan Holster pattern.  @RemingtonSteel, Thank you for the link to Double K Leather.  I tried ordering the pattern from them but at checkout was told that "there are no available payment methods for your state".  Tried contacting them via phone and email about 2 weeks ago but no response. 

I also tried to PM @Brazos Jack with no luck and saw that he hasn't been on here in a while.  I know these times are tough on businesses.  I hope everyone is OK.  Would sure like to buy one of these patterns if you or someone else knows where I could get one.  Thanks in advance.  Jim

Update:  I finally reached someone with Double K Leather.  The numbers from their website didn't work but I found one that worked on their FB page.  The person who answered the phone told me "We don't mess with patterns anymore." and "Yeah, our website doesn't work either."  So, no joy there.  If someone knows someplace that I can purchase this pattern, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jim

Amazing Holster work. I know it is a few years old, the post.

I am mainly commenting so I can find this pattern later.

That is a great tutorial, a ton of info.

Thanks to all the other posts 'with info too.
