Members jlaudio29 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Report Posted August 26, 2011 Very pleased with the outcome of this holster. I especially like the matching Mag Carrier i made for it! I thought about doing a reinforced throat on the mag carrier to make it really match the gun holster lol but it would have been overkill! so may next time Quote
Lobo Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Very nice work. Good design and well executed. Quote
Members particle Posted August 26, 2011 Members Report Posted August 26, 2011 Agreed - looks really good! Nicely detailed. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted August 26, 2011 Members Report Posted August 26, 2011 great work on the boning detail! 1911's are to me one of the hardest guns to get that level of detail on. What thickness of leather did you use? It still bugs me that you dont run an edge line on the "end" parts of the holster though Quote
Members jlaudio29 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks for the compliments guys, VERY much appreciated. Shooter im using 8-9oz shoulder. I actually find 1911s to be one of the easier guns to mold. Maybe its because im so in love with them lol. LOL im sorry it bothers you I just dont care for the look but maybe it will grow on me someday Quote
Members Colt Hammerless Posted August 27, 2011 Members Report Posted August 27, 2011 I really like it. I recently made a snap loop mag pouch as well. I've also thought about doing a reinforced throat mag pouch. Not that it's necessary of course, I've just never used that construction technique. That way, I won't waste much leather if/when I screw it up! What dye did you use? It looks really good. Also what finish? Colt Hammerless Quote
Members jlaudio29 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks, the reinforced throat is actually a pretty easy thing once you understand the order in which to assemble stuff! I have fallen in love with them!. I use USMC black from fiebings and either satin or super sheen from eco-flo for the finish. Quote
