Members JRCHolsters Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 Just thought I would share a couple of recent Cross Draw holsters I made for some customers. Hope you like them. This is for a 3" 1911. It is Dark Brown Shark and Yellow Ring Lizard. Both are laminated over Horsehide. This one is for the HK45C. It is in a Cordovan / Burgundy Horsehide. This one was built for a female customer, so there are a few minor enhancements to make it more comfortable for her. Quote
Members mogwild Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 WOW. I like them, Especially the first one. Nice work. Quote
Members JRCHolsters Posted July 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks. I was a little skeptical when the customer laid out his idea to me, but once it was finished, I was thinking I might need one for myself. WOW. I like them, Especially the first one. Nice work. Quote
Members katsass Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) From the grump: Very nice work. My only comment might be that I always keep the muzzle end open. NOBODY ever cleans out the crud that shows up down there - and you'd be surprised just how much junk ends up in a closed toe holster. Mike Edited July 27, 2012 by katsass Quote
Contributing Member SooperJake Posted July 27, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted July 27, 2012 Very nice work, JR. Does the retention adjustor apply that much extra pressure over a straight fit? Or, is the idea to make the draw a little loose when wet molding, and then snug up on the trigger guard? I have no experience with a leather rig + retention screw is why I ask. Jake Quote
Members JRCHolsters Posted July 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 Katsass - It's hard to tell from the pics, but they are open ended. The stitch line on the exotic is just to give it a clean look. Thanks for the compliment. Jake - I usually don't put retention screws in on holsters. This was one of those things that the customer really felt he needed one. It will tighten it up a bit, but I personally don't think it was needed. Quote
Members mojoewrkn Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 Those are really beautiful work. Very clean lines! Quote
Members Iron Pounder Posted July 28, 2012 Members Report Posted July 28, 2012 Solid work! I really like the first one. Quote
Members Haystacker Posted July 28, 2012 Members Report Posted July 28, 2012 I agree with the other comments. Very nice looking holsters. Quote
Members cdf Posted August 12, 2012 Members Report Posted August 12, 2012 Very nice work ! Ditto on closed toes , holds ice , snow and mud . I'm a fan of cross draw , especially for CCW type applications . Chris Quote
