indidana Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 I have tried making three different cases for speed loaders and am not having any luck. I've never made a leather case before so that doesn't help matters any. I've tried making my own pattern and tried reworking a pattern meant for something else. I really just need a tried and true pattern and haven't been able to find anything. Do any of y'all have a pattern or even advice? I would really appreciate it! Quote
Members glockanator Posted October 11, 2015 Members Report Posted October 11, 2015 How are you going about making the pattern? If I was going tonmake one I would wet mold around the speed loader and ammo. Quote

Members chiefjason Posted October 12, 2015 Members Report Posted October 12, 2015 Something to be said for KISS. The speed loaders are 2 pieces of leather, 5 rivets, and one Sam Brown button. Guy was up today and loves them. FWIW, the Sam Brown's worked much better than line 24. And pull the dots would have been overkill. The flap loops behind the belt. Quote
Members cleanview Posted October 12, 2015 Members Report Posted October 12, 2015 This was mine.......2nd one , first one was to the same customer, so I guess they like them. One piece of leather, wet molded to the speedloader Quote Amarillo Texas bambamholsters.com
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 12, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted October 12, 2015 Not seeing how you did the one piece of leather. Loop is separate piece?

indidana Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Posted October 12, 2015 Thank you all so much. The husband and baby are still asleep or I'd take a picture of what I have so far. I love the pictures y'all sent, and I would absolutely use them as a base to go off, except my friend wants hers to be enclosed. Yes, it's a revolver. She has a S&W Ladysmith and has two speedloaders she wants a case for. The case (and holster) will be going on a shoulder rig, so I have to keep it as compact as possible. She's a small-framed lady. Luckily she carries a small gun with tiny speedloaders! Quote
Members chiefjason Posted October 12, 2015 Members Report Posted October 12, 2015 From the looks of it, Cleanview's and mine cover similar ground. Do something like his for coverage, but do the rivets like mine and you will shrink the footprint of the pouch. Notice his has outside rivets and wings, mine has round sides and riveted through them. You will need an anvil to set the rivets inside the pouch. Not making any right or wrong assumptions, just that doing away with the wings meets your criteria for smaller. FWIW, I know the customer always wants things but sometimes they want them for the wrong reasons. At first I wanted to fully cover them too. Until I got to tinkering with them and realized my main concern was rounds coming out and that is not going to happen. Secure the speed loader frame and you secure the rounds by default. Just a thought. Quote
