joshk Report post Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I've been a long time reader of the forums here but have never shared any work.... I just finished this one up earlier this morning and was pretty pleased with the way it came out so I figured it was worth sharing....

Denster Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Pretty nice. Reminiscent of the old speed scabbard with some innovation. I particularly like the belt attachment method. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go2Tex Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Very attractive. Well done. Just a curious question, though. Why the screws on the belt attachment? And, are those tabs reinforced with something? I assume the hole is to accomodate a pants belt loop? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshk Report post Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) thanks for the compliments folks! Go2Tex.... this holster is pretty much my version of the old Bianchi Gunsite or Davis Omega rig.... the Omega rig had a similar rear plate attachment.... I added the belt loop slot and reworked the tabs so they'll slide under a belt loop if needed.... also, they are not reinforced as this is just meant to be a range/competition rig.... we had a big thunderstorm roll through last night that kept me up all night so I took advantage and worked up a matching double mag pouch with scaled down diamond cuts.... this is one of the only things I've ever worked up that didn't involve power tools which was awesome considering the power kept going in and out....

joshk Report post Posted January 27, 2012 thanks Hay.... it's a new style that I've been wanting to work up for a while.... I'm pretty much exploring the limits of what I can do with it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reaper Report post Posted January 28, 2012 joshk, very nice indeed. Only thing I would suggest would be to try out a thicker thread or a smaller drill bit... Though I don't know that I *would* even do that... Nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshk Report post Posted January 29, 2012 thanks Reaper! I actually punch all my holes with a 1/16" punch and stitch with #277 thread.... I've thought about drilling them in the past but I kind of like the look of the punch/sew combo.... just a little touch to try to set them apart from the rest I guess....
