Boriqua Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Hey .. I forgot my contribution to the Thank you Jeff for cool patterns thread !! Not my best but this was an earlier one when I was trying out his wonderful contribution to my knowledge base!! Thanks Man! Edited August 15, 2016 by Boriqua Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 15, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) That ther's lookin purdy good. Have ya ever considered chopping off the front of yer pattern and bendin it 'round the other side! Just common sense, really... if you got a '50/50' pancake (seams in the center line) then it goes 'half way' around, back to the center line. So, an "avenger" style holster is already 'done", just missing the belt loop / stiffer upper portion. Yes, I know you followed this already, Alex... this is for the next guy comes along!

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 20, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 20, 2016 Avenger style pattern for the 3" XDs now up on cutesy. 1911 .45 double mag is cut out, and I'll be stitchin' that later today wihen I got white thread in the machine. Gotta use the white, so folks can see it on the black scrap and maybe take advantage of the "look" and make their own like it. Think maybe I'll charge $1 for this one -- just think of it as compensating Jeff for the time. Keep in mind, though.. I'm not that bright AND I'm slow, so we're gonna need a LOT of the boys kickin in a buckl Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah, just as i suspected. This thing for the double mag is WAY too long front to back 7"+. You could trim a bit here n there, but I'm scrappin' it... much nicer just put a snap-on loop on the back... easier off 'n' on AND take up less belt space. I stuck white thread in black leather so you fellas could easily track whazup... but I don't like even the idea. Gonna go a different way. Still, I'll purdy up the pattern for those who care to do this one. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Reegesc Posted August 21, 2016 Report Posted August 21, 2016 I agree. Here's the one I made to go with my Buddy's holster and it ended up a little wider than the holster. Visually it looks out of proportion relative to the mass of a holstered pistol. I like your idea of a snap on loop or even a clip. I'm gonna try that next time. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 Yep, that's what took me so long to get around to it, too. Kept thinkin' I know I aint gonna like it! On a strip this wide, should be able to carry THREE mags. The reasoning was .... same 1/1/2" slots as the pistol similar look to the pistol enough room between mags to clear each other (which I then widened a bit to help allow it to "flex' on the belt) simple construction But I can see where this would be a pain in the back, even though on your side. So I'll re-work it. Loops would allow room for tension screws and STILL not be this big. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 FWIW... Do with it as you see fit. This is 'as shown', and I'll be not making this until it's fixed. 1911fail.pdf Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
