Members BubbaJon Posted March 29, 2014 Members Report Posted March 29, 2014 As everyone else has mentioned fantastic job - it certainly belies being a first. I'm just getting ready to do my first holster this style - I'm experimenting using Photoshop to design the pattern. My first pattern was right on as far as fitting - I did however revise it to have a skinnier back. I like how you abbreviated yours quite a bit - I might have to steal that idea. Question - is your loop cut from the back or riveted on separate? I'm thinking I will rivet or sew mine on instead of cutting it. Quote
Members Sorefingers Posted March 31, 2014 Members Report Posted March 31, 2014 Tooling looks great. It is a very fine first holster. Keep up the good work. Quote

Question - is your loop cut from the back or riveted on separate? I'm thinking I will rivet or sew mine on instead of cutting it. Indeed, it's the first complete holster - I chucked its predecessor in the bin because I messed up the stitching (started going at it without having practice on any scrap whatsoever). I'd like to see what patterns you come up with on photoshop. I usually get mine from whatever pattern I'm working with. I can imitate what's there somewhat fair, but I can't come up with any on my own, really. The abbreviated backflap was on the design - I was thinking if/when I do the next, I'd make the the length of the holster. In answer to your question, the loop was riveted on separate. Looking at the loops cut from the same back, it seems as though the flaps tend to roll around and hug the holster a bit, a look that I'm not sure I like.. Tooling looks great. It is a very fine first holster. Keep up the good work. Thank you, and I'm trying! That's fine work. Amazing for your first on out the gate! Thanks!! Quote
