Some Recent Work

[chiefjason]

Between my real job and building these, I've not had much time to post any pics. So I thought I would share some recent ones. A lot of new stuff for me.

Third try is the charm on this one. First one I got the stitch line for the back belt loop and the trigger guard crossed up. Second molded too tight. The tall front site got me. On the plus side, I have a new holster for my MK II. lol Third was just right. This is for a Ruger Mk III Hunter. My first successful avenger.

Sig P228- left hand. Second avenger. First thumb break. He wanted lightly molded and less retention in the holster. So no real detail work on this one.

Since it's a buddy of mine I went all out and covered all the hardware on the back too.

J frame IWB. Customer wanted clips.

Railed 1911.

And a two tone single mag.

Those are awesome! How in the world do you get that much detail on the holster you did for the 1911? I still have so much to learn, but that is beautiful!

Thanks. It's taken a while to get there, and I still have things I need to learn. I do all of it by hand. No press yet. But I start off molding with thumbs. Then move to a smooth toothbrush handle for the big folds around the sight channel and trigger guard. Then I use a 2 sided modeling spoon to cut the detail lines. Once I have the lines started I widen it with a bone folder. The only real molding is in the ejection port, trigger guard, and the end of the frame/dust cover area. The lines are just detail lines. No function other than looking nice.
