My Try At The Defender Style

[Abram]

Here are my attempts at making a defender style holster. It was fun and challenging and I can't wait to do another one.

They look good frome here, . . . it may have just been the angle that the pictures were taken, . . . but the leather you used for the front piece that wraps: what weight of leather is that?

Reason I asked, . . . it looks a bit on the hefty side, . . . but just may be the picture angle.

Anyway, . . . good looking work.

May God bless,

Dwight

Dwight,

I used 8-9 ounce for the entire holster, it was all I had at the time. I may try another one using some thinner leather. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks

Nice job. i like your wrap piece covering so much in the front. For what it is worth I use 7/8 ounce leather.

Looks very nice. On the full length reinforcement, I might kick the toe in to match the stitching line of the holster. Just a thought!
