Members jsroye96 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Members Report Posted November 29, 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 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 New Website: www.silverstarcustomleather.com

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
