Members Rogueshadow Posted October 23, 2012 Members Report Posted October 23, 2012 Just finished a flap holster for a Sig Mosquito. The customer wanted to be able to carry it on his chest or belt when hiking/hunting, so this is what I came up with. Still need to rig the harness for chest carry, but he seemed pretty pleased with the result so far. I wet molded the front so the back could remain flat for comfort and stability. The harness will go around the midsection and over the shoulder, to meet in the back at a ring. The extra bit at the bottom near the muzzle was meant for a couple of eyelets for tie down purposes, just haven't been out to get the right ones yet. Feel free to critique! I'm relatively new at this (2yrs off and on), so any wisdom is appreciated! Quote
Members Jimbob Posted October 23, 2012 Members Report Posted October 23, 2012 Cool looking, looks like it just came out of a hunting store in the 50"s....super vintage looking and very practical seems like....very clean design, fine stitching and I like the color....well done Quote http://www.elfwood.com/~alien883 First it is just leather....then it is what-ever I can dream off...
Members Rogueshadow Posted October 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks Jimbob, I appreciate the kind words! Quote
Members Ran Posted October 23, 2012 Members Report Posted October 23, 2012 Nice work, Rogueshadow! Question: How do you measure for the stitches if molding only the front? Do you leave a little 'slop' in the front leather?? I've made a few holsters, but never one with a flat back panel.. Quote
Members St8LineGunsmith Posted October 24, 2012 Members Report Posted October 24, 2012 I like it Ran I have made several holsters similar to this and I always make the patterns with a little extra material around both front and back then trim after I have the project stitched up not sure if that is how Rogueshadow did it tho.

Members Rogueshadow Posted October 24, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks guys! yeah, I left a little extra on the front, trimmed down after sewing and sanded to even out the rough spots. I actually should have left more, because I got a little too close to the outer stitch line... but it all worked out ok. Quote
Members mcn Posted October 24, 2012 Members Report Posted October 24, 2012 I like the belt / harness idea. I have a lady who wants a holster for when she is cross country skiing. A chest rig like this should work just fine, thanks for sharing. Quote
Members Rogueshadow Posted October 25, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 25, 2012 Here's a few pics with the harness completed and on the body. Mcn, thanks, glad could help spark an idea! Quote
Members DoubleBarP Posted October 26, 2012 Members Report Posted October 26, 2012 Looks to be a version of the M7 military holster. Is it Right or Left hand? Nice work... Quote
