chiefjason Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Not as many firsts as Particle, but a few. First double mag, first brown dye, and first contrast stitching. I have been wanting to do something like this. But besides just making one and hoping to sell it, I had not gotten the chance. Well, I got a request for a full size 1911 pancake. Then he wanted a mag holster. Then double mags. He wanted chocolate brown to begin with. But I sent him a picture of a hybrid I did with medium brown leather and went with the medium brown. I gave it a more mottled look than solid. Then I talked him into cream stitching. I decided to try leaving the interior natural to see if I could and he liked that too. So here it is. The last coat of finish is drying and it will be in the mail on Friday. I kind of hate to see it go. I really like it. Retention came out pretty tight. So I'll be sending instructions on loosening it up a bit if he chooses too. Comments and critiques are appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted February 13, 2013 They both look really good for a first attempt at that style. My only true recommendation would be to work on keeping your slots even when using a hole punch and a knife to cut them out. I'd try to edge and burnish them as well.
