Just Getting Started

Excellent work, I really like them. The molding is very crisp. I do have a question though. On the first picture it looks like deep moulding around the trigger. Is there any risk of the trigger being pulled when the gun is being put into the holster?

Do you wrap the gun in clingfilm or similar when moulding?

Not to hijack this thread, Steel horses when you say you can't find holster molds are you looking for particular models or are you trying to find cheaper used molds. Rob is a member on these forums and has bluegunstore.com has some of the best prices and includes shipping in the price. Duncans Outdoors sell cast aluminum molds, knifekits.com sells a few models. Bunkhouse tool company sells single action and western gun molds as well as a few modern gun molds. Multi holsters sells molds with sight track (prices are a little high but some of the prep work has been done http://www.multiholsters.com/Molds.htm If you look under for sale misc. Look for a post by Jared he makes holster molds and has a limited selection but is building the selection as he gets a hold of different guns.

I want to thank everyone for the huge amount of information concerning gun molds. I'm not looking for anything in particular at this time, but as custom orders come in, I will be picking some up as I go. Thanks again.

Again, fantastic work on the holsters is fantastic!

I agree with the others, very nice work. Just need a little more attention on the edges.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

no danger on the trigger being depressed. as you push the gun into the holster the front edge of the trigger guard pushes the leather apart until it reaches its destination fully seated into the holster and it "snaps"into place. I like very positive retention, but i hate thumb breaks and similar things so i like very deep definition, one of the reasons i really like kydex. No i do not wrap the gun in cling form, i put them into 2 plastic sandwich bags so i can reuse it for the next one and so forth.

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Very impressive work, especially for someone new to the craft. I'm impressed.
