Josh, that's why I asked here. I was hoping someone had a tried and true holster pattern I could buy. I'm trying to exhaust all my options before I tell my friend that I can't help him.

Indidana,

JLS Leather does have a lot of tried and true 5" 1911 holster patterns, I think several are even free. None of them look like the holster your friend wants to try out. I agree that running with a proven design so you can focus on the actual leather work aspect of holster building is a fine idea. If you do that then pancake style holsters and avengers are probably what you're looking for. If you want a multi use, SOB, possible strongside, possible crossdraw with a thumb break and retention screw then my guess is you'll need to design it.

Good luck, whatever you end up doing.

I did put a pattern up in teh other post about this. I personally think a screw for retention is strange on this one, but each his own. I do have a "plain" one around here somewhere ....

Thank you both, Josh and JLS.

JLS, you're always my go-to for holsters! I checked your etsy shop soon as my friend asked me for help. I suggested he try reshaping the holster and asked what else he doesn't like about it/what's wrong with it. He said "It don't feel like real leather or smell like it and I don't know how it's going to hold up its a little than I would like too."

He wants something he can conceal, which is why I think he wants to carry it on his back, upside down like that. Mostly I think he just likes the looks of it.

I sent him a snapshot of this one to see if he would be interested in a pancake holster.

I'll see if he'd like this one, too. Thank you!

HEY!

Keep in mind that is available FREE over there on the big kid site ;) It's only on etsy for those who are already over there anyway -- and etsy won't let you list it as free, so....

Just click the 'free' link below...
