Members JoshLSTV Posted February 6, 2012 Members Report Posted February 6, 2012 Awesome detail in the boning! What tool did you use to get such detail? Quote

Members malabar Posted February 6, 2012 Members Report Posted February 6, 2012 Thanx Josh. I just used a bone and a modeling tool. Beautiful work!. One thing you might think about for next time is using two tee-nuts t attach the straps. That prevents the straps from twisting and loosening up over time. tk Quote

Members Matt Alsaker Posted February 7, 2012 Members Report Posted February 7, 2012 Very nice. I just finished my first IWB holster and posted it also. I have problems with the mouth of the holster collapsing when the gun is drawn. I can still get the gun back into the holster, but I'd be curious if you did anything to reinforce the mouth?

Members Big O Posted February 8, 2012 Members Report Posted February 8, 2012 Very nice. I just finished my first IWB holster and posted it also. I have problems with the mouth of the holster collapsing when the gun is drawn. I can still get the gun back into the holster, but I'd be curious if you did anything to reinforce the mouth? The reinforcement piece that wraps nearly ALL the way around the holster mouth surely helps. Another thing you can do is to force-dry the holster with heat after molding. The good thing about that is that it increases rigidity. The bad thing about that is that it increases rigidity.....in a holster that's going to be pressed against your body by your belt...... I've taken to using horsehide almost exclusively for IWB holsters. It tends to be more rigid, either with or without force-drying. Quote
