Members liveneasy Posted May 19, 2008 Members Report Posted May 19, 2008 I've been busy doing other things but needed to make a holster for my new SA-45. It's made from 7-8 veg tan which handles a lot different from the 4-5 I've been using. The holster was made from scratch and it took several revisions before I got the pattern correct. The holster is a cross draw and I also plan on making a strong side holster as soon as I finish the belt. I figured as long as I was back into leather mode, I'd make a new cross draw for my daily carry. This is made from 4-5 veg tan with an Eco Flow saddle tan dye and 2 coats of satin sheen. I constructed the front rough side in and the back rough side out. I've used the holster several days now and it's very comfortable and conceals well. As always comments and suggestions are welcome.

Members Rhome Posted May 20, 2008 Members Report Posted May 20, 2008 Very nice holsters ! IMHO a word of caution though. When I make a holster with a sweat shield / slide guard,I do not cover the magazine release button as the leather on the sweat guard might just press it for you when you are not aware of it. I always leave that part uncovered. Just my 2 cents worth though. Unless of corse the mag. release is on the bottom of the grip. Best, Rhome Quote www.desbiensgunleather.com
