Members jsroye96 Posted November 21, 2010 Members Report Posted November 21, 2010 They may not be pretty, they might be big, but they conceal very well and are very comfortable to wear. One is for a Para .45, thats what I carry now. The other is for a Beretta 92FS. Quote

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted November 21, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted November 21, 2010 The execution of the design is very good, but I'm left wondering about keeping the spare mag on the same side as the weapon. It seems it'd be a bit difficult to access, depending on where the pistol sits. Other than that, fit and finish look great. Quote
Members woodandsteel Posted November 21, 2010 Members Report Posted November 21, 2010 Nice! I'd been thinking of making something like this. Essentially a hybrid style holster, with all leather instead of kydex. Quote
Members jsroye96 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Members Report Posted November 26, 2010 Hey, Thanks for the comments. Here is another one I made, I think it looks better than the first two I made. Quote
Members CrashInBlack Posted November 27, 2010 Members Report Posted November 27, 2010 Those look nice. Do you have one for each side? Quote

Contributing Member MedusaOblongata Posted November 28, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted November 28, 2010 Good looking holsters. I like the design. I found these clips to be more comfortable: http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=79 Quote
Chief31794 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Great looking holsters, I like the stitiching, did you hand stitch or machine stitch and if machine, which machine did you use. i just bought a Boss and am working on trying to make it sew neatly. Ken Quote

Ken Hey Ken, I hand stitch all of my holsters, I just kind of prefer it that way. It does mean that it takes me longer to sew a holster though. John. Quote
Members 1911 Operator Posted November 29, 2010 Members Report Posted November 29, 2010 Nice looking rigs, one question, does the mouth stay open for re-holster? Did you add anything to help it stay open? the only reason I keep making the Kydex hybrids is I couldn't keep the mouth open... Quote

Did you add anything to help it stay open? the only reason I keep making the Kydex hybrids is I couldn't keep the mouth open... Yes, the mouth does stay open, if fact I wore this holster around the house one day without a weapon in it just to see if the mouth would stay open. After a few hours I put my gun back in the holster with out any problems. I did not really do anything special with it to make the mouth stay open like that.. I just wetmolded it and let it dry and then sealed it with fiebing's leather balm with atom wax.... When I made the holster i was not really all that concerned whether or not the mouth of the holster stayed open or not. I just wanted to make sure I could get it out quickly and easily. Quote
