Muzzleloader Pistol Pouch Holster

[keplerts]

Would anyone happen to have or know where I can get a pattern for a muzzleloader pistol holster? The ones I have seen look pretty simple to make. They look like a loop that the pistol fits in and then has a belt loop sewn on. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

Keplerts, I have made them but have not seen patterns for them. They can be made very basic or get as fancy as you want. You can go very basic cut an L shaped piece of leather with the bottom of the piece large enough to wrap around the pistol and the top of the L large enough to wrap around the belt. Wrap the bottom around the pistol mark where you want to rivet or stitch, trim accordingly. Fold the top of the L over the belt mark where you want to stitch or rivet. Below are some examples. The last picture is one I made for a monster of a muzzle loader with a baldric to carry the holster.

Camano,

Thanks for the reply. Picture #3 is what my customer has in mind. I was hoping someone had a pattern of the that style.

Is that the "L" style you were describing?

Thanks, again!

I'd love to help but I have no idea what the dimensions would be

[keplerts]

Thanks, tboyce! I don't know the dimensions. He said it was a "standard" size muzzleloader pistol. But, Thanks!

If you find out, let me know. Looks like an easy pattern to make

Find out the brand make and caliber. Not sure what he means by standard size. there are many calibers barrel lengths brand, round barrel octagonal barrel etc. Also is his percussion or flintlock I will post rough sketch of how that holster is put together it is two pieces The piece Piece that goes on the belt forms the back of the holster front is a piece that is stitched at the top of the holster back then folded over the pistol and sewn to the bottom edge of the holster back. Not sure that is clear when I post the sketch it will be a little clearer.

[keplerts]

Thanks, Camo! Your description was pretty clear. The sketch will for sure help. He did say it was a percussion cap pistol.

Thanks, again.

Try this on for size. It's a prototype I drew up on another project. Keep in mind that the patterns are on 11 x 17 Tabloid sheets and when printing (if prompted) set the Page Scaling to None.

Just wanted to update this thread on what I came up with. The man was very happy with what I did. I used 10/12 oz drum dye mohogoney bridle leather. I scanned in the pattern in case anyone is interested in making one. Thanks for all your help.

Keplerts, that looks like it turned out well. If you get a picture from the customer with the muzzle loader in it, it would be great if you could post it.

Thanks for posting the pattern. For those that may want it it would be better if you could scan and save it as a PDF file then post the PDF. As it is it prints small size as a picture.

Camano,

Thanks for the advice on the pattern scan. I will try to attach the PDF's now. Hopefully someone will find this pattern useful.
