Drac Report post Posted January 23, 2008 well, here they are. pics of me first try at forming a holster. did it for a pistol of of me roomies. designed for concealed carry at the small of the back. double layer backing and double layering plus embossed around the throat and down the spine. hand forming done with some help from a folder. stitching was done on a tippman boss as always. whut ya thunk?

WaG35 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 nicely done Drac. I think i would have cut it a little shorter, it looks a little puckered at the barrel end, but that is just me. i like the spine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted January 23, 2008 wag it is a little long. I was going to stitch across it but decided not to at the last minute and I already had it attached to the slide and soaked for forming. that embossed piece was a piece of pre-embossed scrap that I had laying around. thanks for the compliment!

Hidemechanic Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Darc, I'm glad you said it was for the small of the back. If it was to carry on your side i was gonna say you must have a rubber arm to get that thing out at that angle. Dang nice job Bud. GH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duke Report post Posted January 26, 2008 nice! looks pretty dang good. only thing I would have done different is used a saddle makers groover and recessed the stitching so that a few months down the road,you dont have stiches that are busting loose from having rubbed away. other than that, it looks dang good.

Drac Report post Posted January 26, 2008 I still need to get one of those. it's not an issue on what I usually stitch, but now it's looking like it might be a good idea. at least the holster won't actually get used that much so this one will last. *L* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
