akuluka Report post Posted November 23, 2014 Hi all, I'm looking for help on a holster pattern for an 357 Magnum Short Special and Reck Lady Gun, Germany made. Because of the law here, so my client couldn't send me the piece so I can't wet mold them. I'd be most appreciative for any help or advice. Thank you very much! Salam from Bali, Indonesia here's the image. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted November 26, 2014 Since you can't get the guns themselves, I suggest using the measuring process listed in this tutorial: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19338 Have the customer trace the guns, then measure around them with a cloth tape at multiple points, then write the measurement on the tracing. It would be best to build a template to approximate the difference between the tape and a strap of leather, but you should be 'okay' if you just add 7-8mm to the measurements. That will give you a "close fit", but will never match the precision of actually having something with which to mold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
