I'm betting off hand that it will be w winner takinf into consideration your quality of work and eye for attaining perfection...

Not stroking you at all, I mean it.

This is my iteration of a holster for the P7. This one is for the PSP with the shorter triggerguard and heel mag release but the pattern is essentialy the same for the M8 just a different stitchline and cut a little lower to accomodate the mag releases.

Troops right about getting as much belt behind the triggerguard as possible. As to cant this one is about 20deg.

Can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm with the majority opinion that it will be nice.

Very nice indeed.

That looks great Denster - and thanks Reaper for the kind words. I have a revised pattern sitting on my bench, but haven't had a chance to work on it yet - dang allergies giving me headaches in the evenings! Will be starting another batch tonight and will try to post photos as soon as I can of the revised HK holster.

I'm working on a holster for an HK P7M8. The customer said these guns have a really heavy grip and with the short barrel, they tend to tip outward in most holsters. To compensate for that, I tried to bring the bottom of the wings further outward, instead of trimming away the excess. I'm hoping this will give more surface area to push against the hip. I need to tighten up the stitch line on both sides, and perhaps bring the reinforcement a little further to the left on the trigger guard area. The grip area looks a little cramped right at the narrowest area, but my hands fit just fine with a good grip on the gun - my finger does contact the top of the holster just a tad, but I can still get a good grip without any problems. Plus, I've never handled one of these guns before (a real one), but I'm hoping that front-strap grip safety can be depressed easily enough to allow even more clearance when gripping the gun.

Anyone made any holsters for these pistols? Care to share any tips you might have learned when you developed your pattern?

particle; from the grumpy old man; the only thing that strikes me is the distance of your belt slots are away from the gun itself.....or how close they are to the holster's edge. In my experience, the closer to the gun you place them, the tighter the holster will be pulled into the body of the person wearing it........AND the tighter it will remain. Over time, those slots will stretch some, and you'll notice that there isn't actually too much leather between the slot and the outer edge of the holster..........the same where it exits. I'd move the slots in to about mid way between the holster edge and the stitching.....JMHO. Other than that, it's a darned good looking rig. Mike

NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!!

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses.

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
