That's lookin' purdy good - but does that work okay with the bullets "backwards" ? Personal preference maybe -- Still, these designs are MEANT to be customized to suit you, so have at 'er Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted January 29, 2016 So,.. how much interest do we have for "80/20" pancake holsters? By that, I mean most of the pancake styles you see are "flat", or "50/50". "FLAT" .... with the back piece perhaps laid on a table and the "front" or outside piece molded over the weapon. The curve of the body is largely done with the 'wings' ONLY; "50/50"... involves two pieces -- front and back - which are quite similar. The stitch seams are basically a 'meet in the middle' situation. Lately, I get requests for holsters with some curve, but with the seams closer to the body. SOME people (usually with narrow waists) find that the smaller guns can tend to bind at the front site on a '50'50' holster. Just the nature of pancake holsters, which is made worse the closer the slots are to the firearm. So, it becomes a trade-off... trading function with belt real estate (foot print). The answer it would seem is an '80'20' holster. Accomplished by making the same general type construction as the '50/50' but with the front or outside piece made larger to wrap partially around -- past the center line of the weapon. Perhaps the easiest way to describe it is to show it (?). Looking down the back end of the Glock 43 RH. Some 'natural' curve in the rig, NOT 'flexed' around to accomodate a belt or line up the slots (which is done frequently and leads to the issue described).

JLSleather Report post Posted February 6, 2016 A word about Etsy and how it works over there ... These pattern files are currently available on Etsy due to bookkeeping concerns (I pay a small fee, but I don't calculate international taxes). Some of you are now asking .. SO !@!@$#$%!??! There are files available FREE on my web site, which are also available on etsy for a small fee (like 50¢). This is not a mistake, it's just that they can't be listed over there for free,and I'm not even allowed to tell you that they are available "off - etsy" in the listings. BUT, they are there so those who are downloading other files ANYWAY can just get those there without going to another site. SO THEN... DO check the web site for the FREE ones FIRST ...

I've made a few holsters for myself only, all for 1911 or Hi Power for duty wear plain clothes. I use the same pattern for both weapons, molding is the only difference.

Tigdim Report post Posted February 7, 2016 So,.. how much interest do we have for "80/20" pancake holsters? I am interested in a 80/20... in fact that is the one of the reasons I am here. I was google searching for patterns, specifically 80/20 patterns.

JLSleather Report post Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) '80/20' may not be in any textbooks.. just sumthin seemed like it might make sense to folks A few revolver holsters to finish up and a couple of belts to carve, and maybe I can get back to the "drawing board"....
