Will Ghormley's 1911 Holster Patterns

[TexasJack]

I emailed Will Ghormley about his patterns for 1911 holsters and he wrote back to say that they should be hitting Tandy stores now. Called the local Tandy store and in a rare stroke of luck, they got a shipment in today that included the 1911 pack along with Will's Hand of God ("3:10 to Yuma") and Johnnie Ringo ("Tombstone") patterns. I made a point of swinging by to pick up that 1911 pack tonight. (My wife still can't understand how going 10 miles out of my way was a shortcut.)

I know there are others on here that have discussed it, so I'm passing along the info.

Thanks for the info Tex...I'll be making the call to order today.

TJ: Which store did you get it from?

[TexasJack]

Tandy Leather in north Houston. According to Will, they should be at any Tandy store or you may be able to order from them online.

Cool beans!

Really like those rig's and a number of people have asked about Single Six holsters but I've been putting them off.

I picked up the patterns from my local Tandy store today....cool beans is right.

Although out of the 7 patterns offered, I think I may only be interested in building 2 or 3 of them.....but as all of WG pattern sets, it's a nice thing to have.

He threw in a bikini pattern that's pretty cool too.

I decided to give the "Weeping Heart" bikini holster a try. Of course I couldn't find the right size of leather. (How did that happen? I guess one of those times I said to myself that I need to order some leather, I should have gone ahead and done it.) But I did find some that was close enough and figured that was good enough to work out the kinks. It only has 2 short seams to sew, so it didn't take long at all to finish. Put it on and dropped in a 1911 and it worked GREAT! The package says it's for intermediate to advanced leatherworkers, and it would be generous to consider me "intermediate", but I had no problem knocking this one out.

I couldn't wait to whip one up either...I made it out of thinner horsehide and found the Glock, M&P9, and XD9 (with a little encouragement) also fit.

Thanks for sharing! I love the "frazier" & "pancho" --- I would love to make one of those designs for my pistol competition rig!
