Members Wareagle50 Posted July 11, 2011 Members Report Posted July 11, 2011 made this one for my B.I.L. what do yall think? better? Quote
Members Big O Posted July 12, 2011 Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 VERY nice! I'd love to see the back, to get an idea of how wide you made the belt tunnel. High-ride holsters need more stabilization to keep them from flopping outward from the belt, and MY solution for that is to maximize the area of leather sandwiched between belt and body. Quote
Members Big O Posted July 12, 2011 Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 The stitching on the reinforcement piece looks like it's "wandering" quite a bit. Especially with contrasting-color stitching, I find it's best to make my stitching grooves DEEP to keep the stitches in line. They're an unruly bunch if you're not constantly smacking them around...... Quote
Members Wareagle50 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 BigO, thanks alot, im really proud of this one. ill post a pic off the back for you. I could not get my groover to cut into the elephant hide very well. So I justaid out the holes and stitched without a grooved line. My marks didnt show up well and I got afew of the m off line a bit. I also need to get a freehand groover , I guess. Quote
Members Wareagle50 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 Here is the back. Sorry for the crappy pic, im at work. Quote
Members Big O Posted July 12, 2011 Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 Should be beefy enough. I might've tightened up that belt tunnel a bit more, but then again, I've made them TOO tight and ruined holsters before..... Quote
Members Wareagle50 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 I was worried about that. It fits ok though. Ill probly make the next one a tad bit tighter. Thanks alot for your comments BigO. Quote
