Members Colt Hammerless Posted July 19, 2014 Members Report Posted July 19, 2014 Here's a few I've sent out recently. The snap-on OWB is the first of that style I've made. It's 8 oz. that is lined with 3 oz. veg-tan. The customer wanted boning in the ejection port and trigger guard, but none on the slide/frame, and the slide scallop. The snaps are Pull-the-Dot. This is also the first mag pouch I've made for a Colt 1903 mag. Few people have a spare to carry. The other 1903 OWB shows the normal boning I do on a holster for one of those. As soon as I sent that one out the door (and had yet to show pictures to anyone,) I got an order for an exact duplicate. Should have just made two at the same time. The 1911 holster is for a Sig Nightmare Carry which has the squared off Sig slide profile. Paul Quote
Members Colt Hammerless Posted July 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 19, 2014 Oh, almost forgot. Here's a double mag carrier that went with that Sig 1911 holster. The customer ordered them at different times, so I don't have any pictures of them together. Paul Quote
Members Red Cent Posted July 19, 2014 Members Report Posted July 19, 2014 Very good. Has the neat look and looks rich, figuratively and literally. Quote
Members cleanview Posted July 20, 2014 Members Report Posted July 20, 2014 I am still learning. When I first started certain aspects fascinated me. Now one of the most impressive parts of the process is the over all flow of the finished project. These posted are so awesome! People look at me funny when I show them a paper pattern and claim that the pattern is the hardest part. Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted July 21, 2014 Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Great work Paul! I never messed with one much, and when I did a mag pouch for one it was funny to me. Smallest accessory pouch I've made by a long shot Quote
Members Colt Hammerless Posted July 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks guys! Cleanview, I definitely have gotten better with the flow over time. One thing I did have from the beginning was an aversion to any sharp corners. I think that's one of the more important aspects. You'll see a lot of people's early work will be very functional, but has many sharp corners. Then as time goes on their corners start to become curves. Much smoother. You start getting faster at drawing patterns with time as well. I hear you Robert. I looked at that 1903 mag pouch when it was done, and said (out loud) "That's the cutest thing I've ever made." If ever something that carries ammo can be called "adorable," a .32 auto mag pouch is it. Paul Quote
Members Double Daddy Posted July 21, 2014 Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Sharp work! I especially like the "full" boning detail on the 1903 that's in the pancake holster...nice touch! Quote
