Some "modern" Holsters

[Josh Ashman]

Field holsters with mag pouches for a Walther P22 and Ruger Mark III and a tuckable (is that what other people call them???) for a 3-1/2" 1911 . All made out of 8 oz. HO with Fiebrings Oil Dye mixed with neatsfoot oil and topped with Aussie Wax.

Let me know what you think, thanks for looking.

Nice work, do you have a pattern for that tuckable?

[TexasJack]

They look very nice.

Could I make a suggestion on the IWB ("tuckable")? It would be more comfortable if the side against the body was flat.

Thank you Madadh. I do have a pattern for the tuckable, but I don't have it with me. I'd be happy to bring it in to work with me tomorrow and send it to you. Just FYI, it'd probably be just as easy for you to make your own, then you can fit any gun you want. I basically just follow the Al Stohlman holster instructions (you can get his book from Tandy) and tweak it a little to get whatever I'm making. For the tuckable I outlined the pistol on a folded piece of paper, added 5/8" to get the main seam ( I usually go with 3/4", but I wanted this quite snug), sketched in the slide cover and top where they looked balanced then sketched in the throat reinforcement/clip cover and done. I used a 14 oz. welt at the main seam when I put it all together, pretty simple really.

Anyway, I'm more than happy to send you my pattern. I'll try to get it to you tomorrow.

Texas Jack, you sir are correct! I appreciate your input. That holster happened to be for me and if I make another one I'll refrain from wrapping the throat.

Best regards, Josh
