Members Haystacker Posted February 27, 2014 Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 I made a left handed shoulder holster for a Ruger SP101 3 inch. I used the Al Stohlman pattern from the book Making Holsters. I really like the old school look. Be aware. If you use the Stohlman pattern, folks were a lot smaller back in the fifties. The pattern has to be adjusted for modern day folks. Quote

Members olds cool Posted February 28, 2014 Members Report Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I found the same thing about the size when I used his pattern. I was on the last holes and it still felt too tight when I moved around. I'm only 6' and 240lbs, most of which is in the middle. I'm not a real broad shouldered kinda guy and if it was tight on me, I can't even imagine it on some of the geurillas that I see walking around nowadays. The other thing I found is that the thin strap going around the non-holster side is uncomfortable. Slightly modify the fat strap by removing the buldge where the holster hangs and reverse it for the non-holster side. Keep the cross straps as he intended or even a little bit wider. You'll have a much more comfortable carry, especially for a heavier full sized shooter (take that whichever way you want). Edited February 28, 2014 by olds cool Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted February 28, 2014 Members Report Posted February 28, 2014 Very nice! I've been thinking about making something like this too. No fair cropping your head out of your modeling pics after shaming me! Quote
