Novice Holster Maker

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to holster making. This is my favorite that I've made so far. It is an inside the pant right hand concealment for a 38 special snub. I would appreciate some constructive criticism and/or advice for my future endeavors. I've already learned much from my short time here.

Thank you in advance,

FuzzyG

Looks very nice indeed, the main thing I would consider is cutting the length down to about 1/4 inch from the Muzzle, it will be less likely to print that way, unless your also carrying a 3 1/2 - 4 inch in it also?

Edge sanding and burnishing so the two layers have an edge that the seam is hidden with would be the second.

That said, it is something you should definitely be proud of.

Good morning Fuzzy, from the grumpy old man; You did a pretty good job on the little holster, Stitching seems good, molding looks fine, and the overall design 'taint bad at all. I would, as Reaper mentioned, shorten that puppy up a bit in the muzzle and work more on your edges. Along that line (this is JMHO) get rid of that black stripe around the whole damned thing. Many people dye the very edge when burnishing (I know that I do at times) to get a finished effect on their items, but that black stripe is pretty distracting from the rest of your work. As said, 'taint too shabby overall. Just my two cents tossed in for free. Mike
