Wattspd Report post Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I would like to thank all the members on this forum for posting all the helpful information. Thank You! Well this is my first attempt at making holsters. Do you think I did okay? Edited June 27, 2013 by Wattspd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

particle Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Wattspd - I think it looks great! How does it carry? It looks like it rides a tad high to me, but if you're a really skinny guy, it's probably just fine. I'm impressed you incorporated a stitched sight channel on your first holster! The only real comment I have would be to work on smoothing (rounding) out the sharp corners to reduce snags, and for a more smooth, flowing design. Otherwise, I think you did a fantastic job on your first holster! It's 10x better than my first attempt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It carries very nice for me and without a doubt it's a high ride holster (Might be top heavy for some). The hardest part for me is to conceal a full size 1911 without a big jacket. On all the holsters I bought at a store the barrel sticks out about an inch from bottom of my shirt and I am always tugging at my shirt. I wanted three things out of this first holster. 1. Zero cant of the gun (I personally don't like a holster that cants way forward). 2. A clean appearance of the holster and firearm ( meaning if in uniform all you see is the front of the holster no belt loops) 3. Concealable with a button shirt if necessary. I am a slender guy and hiding a full size sidearm outside the waist holster makes things tricky. It keeps the firearm very close to my body and hides the butt perfect if I carry it a 8 o'clock. I will work on smoothing out the next holster and make it flow better. Thanks again for the advise. Edited June 27, 2013 by Wattspd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wattspd Report post Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I made this holster right after my first holster. It's inspired by a members (Topdown) holster seen here http://leatherworker...showtopic=48409 Edited June 27, 2013 by Wattspd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
