Members Eaglestroker Posted February 14, 2011 Members Report Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Let me start by saying I'm a college kid with a lot of ideas and not a lot of money to continue on with those ideas. This started out as a Christmas present from my grandfather as an attempt to teach me a little more of what he knows which I gladly and graciously accepted. That being said I was turned on to this forum by Lobo from another 1911 forum that I frequent and this site is really a great resource! My biggest issue right now is getting my belt loops looking respectable - I'm getting better but still not happy with the results. This is my first design, which was quickly followed by an order from Wickett & Craig and a few week wait for my sides to come in. I had a few scraps left and made this little guy: And when my sides came in I made these two, the S&W is much better in fit and finish than the 1911: Thanks for taking the time to look at these and I look forward to a few more critics of my work!

Members Haystacker Posted February 15, 2011 Members Report Posted February 15, 2011 First of all, good work. Those look real good. Second, one of the members on this forum, Particle, has a holster building tutorial on his website. He shows how to make belt slots that I think will be what you are looking for. And last, welcome to the forum and holster making. Quote

And last, welcome to the forum and holster making. Much appreciated. I searched around and found how he did it, which is the same method that I'm using. I am going to blame skill and tool quality as the culprits and will address them as funds allow! Thanks for the warm welcome as well. Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted February 17, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2011 First of all I need to send a big THANK YOU to Ray Cory @ Lobo Gun Leather, your help has been something that has really saved me so much time and even more money. I attempted this design for my first time tonight and although it is NOT perfect and has more than a few things I'd like to fix, I'm proud of it. I Quote
