Members jstar61 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 My first attempt at a holster. Made some mistakes, but overall I think the pattern worked well and the retention is good so I'm pleased with my first attempt. 7/8 oz. Herman Oak, Tiger thread, Eco-flo gel antigue. Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Just a word of caution, . . . be careful about molding the trigger guard real deep on striker fired weapons. That trigger can move very quickly with very little pressure, . . . and of course you understand the effects of that happening. But, . . . otherwise, . . . it certainly is a ton better than my first one. May God bless, Dwight PS: I still have it, . . . but NOBODY sees it. Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members pros23 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 It's much better than my first as well. Keep going. You're doing great. Quote pros23 http://www.facebook.com/PJROnlineEnterprisesInc

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 26, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Tough to tell from your picture... is that a model 19, or the 27?

Members snubbyfan Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Very nice for a first holster. Much better than my first pathetic attempt. That's either a 26 or a 27. The 19 has a three finger grip. Quote Keep on Chooglin'Check out my YouTube Channel, comment and subscribe for updateshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA
Members jstar61 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks everyone. It's a 26. I checked the molding at the trigger guard, and it's not as deep as it looks in the pic. I tried and couldn't make it even catch on the trigger when pressing in on it. Quote
Members stu925 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Looks great, I like the color. Stu Quote

Members Tramps Leatherworking Posted February 27, 2015 Members Report Posted February 27, 2015 Not bad, I'm sure you learned a lot from the experience, and your next holster will be better for it, enjoy the ride! Quote ~Tramp~ Experientia magistra stultorum --- (Experience is the teacher of fools)
Members dakotawolf Posted September 10, 2015 Members Report Posted September 10, 2015 What thickness Tiger Thread did you use? I'm thinking of trying some, but I have to order it. I'm not sure which width to get for stitching holsters. Quote "An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it."-Col. Jeff Cooper
