JLSleather Report post Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Had to re-work some stuff around here, including changing this one. Seems to fit the Springfield real nice. Do what you like with it. Oh, yeah, print full size (10.5 x 8.5). Edited May 12, 2014 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Welcome, fellas. I took a pic now that the color is dry - I mean seriously, you did't think I would post a sketch I hadn't tried out for fit? $$!@#$R@!#!# No finish on it, though .. just a 'fit tester'... Oh, the pencil stitch line is the INSIDE stitch row (closest to the weapon). The second row of stitching is a presser foot away from the first. So, just enough pic so you can see about how deep this sits in the leather, make any adjustments you like (some fellas like it set back a little further on the "business" end). This is the Springfield "1911A1" blue gun. Edited May 17, 2014 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Hayes Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Nicely done! I noticed the 3 lines on the pattern, looks alot like my patterns, is that a manila file folder by any chance? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Why yes - yes it is (manila). This was a fluke. Usually I fold on the CENTER line, and then most auto's will crease (bend) right on the outside lines.(the slide on that .45 is .984, the slide on the glock 17 is about .986, the full-size M&P -- well, ya know - all bets are off with the M&P ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Hayes Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Hehehe, that stuff makes great patterns IMO. Folding on the center line is a great tip, thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wally247 Report post Posted June 18, 2015 Sorry to dig this up from the grave, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to print this full size. Whatever I do it ends up way too small. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah, I finally got off m' backside and put 'em straight in the computer. No wavy lines, no bent paper from fudgin' onto the scanner ... You got the 5" version? I'll git ya one that prints much clearer than that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wally247 Report post Posted June 18, 2015 Yes I'm working on a 5" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Did you use the 1911 pattern from here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smirak Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Did you use the 1911 pattern from here? Not trying to hijack...did you used to have a free pattern for the avenger style on your site linked above? Looking back for an avenger style for my XDs 3.3". Hijack over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldtoolsniper Report post Posted July 12, 2015 JLS Thanks for posting that. I don't own a real 1911 but I do own a colt type 1911 rings blue gun from training. I'm building a holster for it based on the pattern you provided at your site. I'm sure I can give it away when I'm done but then I may have to go buy a gun to fit the holster. I'm doing it to learn how to do an avenger style holster. Thanks again for the pattern and the instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
