Members FishEggStew Posted June 9, 2021 Members Report Posted June 9, 2021 Good evening all! I was perusing this thread and was inspired! I downloaded the few patterns available here, then bought a couple more from JLS's "cutesy" store. I bought his Smith & Wesson M&P shield 9,40 pattern, hoping it would fit my S&W Sigma 40. Sadly, it did not, but with a bit of elbow grease and some wet molding, I got it to fit my Walther CCP instead. The sad part is I used chrome tanned leather and have today learned on another thread that chrome tanned leather is a no-no for holsters. So I'm re-creating it with a veg tan piece I have. I have attached a picture of my "prototype" holster for your input/comments. I used some of Tandy's Black Cherry Volcano Sides for the leather. This is the very first holster I have made. JLS's pattern and instructions are very easy to follow. I have been reading many of the posts here and have learned many things. I'm glad to have found this forum where everyone is so willing to share knowledge with those less experienced. Aubrey Quote

Members FishEggStew Posted June 9, 2021 Members Report Posted June 9, 2021 Thanks Pastor Bob! Started with stitching books, like "The Art of Hand Sewing Leather" by Al Stohlman, and refined with Nigel Armitage's (Armitage Leather) videos. I saw them linked on the forum somewhere. Aubrey Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 13, 2023 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 13, 2023 YIKES... this thread got old And like any other old thread, sometimes gotta just take it out and re-sew with some new. SO THERE'S SOME NEW holster patterns in the cutesy store... starting with the Sig P320. This is not a NEW pattern, but one that somebody rubbed my nose in it that I hadnt uploaded. Sig P320 Full & Compact Leather Gun Holster PATTERN 2-slot - Etsy Sig P320 Full & Compact Leather Gun Holster PATTERN Avenger - Etsy [NOTE] As many of you know, it's a 'short hop' from the 2-slot version to the "avenger" style holster, and you certainly DO NOT need to buy the avenger if you already have the 2-slot version. Still, there's a bit of altering involved so for those who don't have the time, the means, or the desire to do it, the "avenger" version is available with the "mods" already done to it. Getting 'em both? Send me a message with an email address to get the 2-slot mag carrier for the P320 FREE Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Steelart999 Posted November 26, 2023 Members Report Posted November 26, 2023 I've looked and searched (maybe not to well), but didn't find a consensus on leather for holsters / sheaths. I'm not talking about weight or source. What would be the best for holsters, shoulder or side? It seems like shoulder, but I've seen on the Weaver sight that they tie "Holster" and "Side" together. Maybe a basic question ... but I am yet another newbie to leatherworking. Quote

Maybe a basic question ... but I am yet another newbie to leatherworking. What kind of holsters and sheathes and how many? with a belt? lined? western? concealed? small knives? large guns? there are many variables IMO lol I buy sides so I have my bases covered and I found out over the years that I can make other stuff too.
