I recently decided to try my hand at making a good stout belt for hosting a holster. This is my first stab at it. I had only a small amount of 6oz and 9oz long enough to make a belt, so I cut a couple of 1.5"~ strips, glued them together and started playin' around. Like any first attempt, there are several things I'll do differently on the next one, but all-in-all, I'm fairly happy with this one. (Oh...made the holster a couple of weeks ago for my Sig P938)

There are now two of us who make belts with 7 holes, . . . (that I know of, . . . lol).

Just about every one else only does 5.

Good job, . . . welcome to "belt land", . . .

May God bless,

Dwight

Thanks Dwight. The seven holes was just a 'copy cat' move. Before I got started, I took off my Bull Hide Belt and copied the configuration. The holes are also 3/4" apart instead of 1".

Nice going, I see you're getting along very well with your new machine.

5 holes at 1" apart, or 7 at 3/4" apart is an option I make available to all....I would say their preference is split right down the middle, and it usually depends on how they carry.

Thanks Rayban. Personally speaking, I prefer the 7 holes at 3/4" spacing because it just makes sense to me. In order to 'fine-tune' one's comfort, it seems like common sense to me that a 3/4" spacing gives the user more options. I guess that if someone regularly switches from OWB to IWB carry, a wider spacing 'might' be helpful??

The machine is awesome! (CB4500 from Bob at Toledo Sewing Machine). I couldn't be happier, frankly. I've had my share of broken needles and screw-ups, but all of them have been simple learning mistakes.

Great belt and holster. You should find plenty of work using this one as an example.

God Bless.
