indidana Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 A customer of mine recently bought a POS holster on Amazon. The thing was still wet and transferred dye to his hands when he pulled it out of the box! So now he wants me to make him a new one. Problem is, I have NO clue how to make this holster he wants. He offered to send the POS to me to reverse engineer a new holster, but would rather return it and get his money back. So my question is this: Is there a pattern for this holster? Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 22, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted February 22, 2016 What IS all that in the back I guess that's supposed to be able to be worn in space or under water I'd ask him where he wants to wear it and start with that.

indidana Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 He says he wants it with all the wearing options. Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 22, 2016 Members Report Posted February 22, 2016 I don't understand the problem: cut the stitches, . . . remove the screw / rivet / stuff. Voila, . . . you have a pattern. It's actually looks like a takeoff of a Thad Ribka holster, . . . called a Rhodesian, . . . which are all considered to be great from what I've ever seen. I make a similar holster for small automatics, . . . it works really well for M&P Shields and smaller pistols. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

indidana Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 Like I said, he wants to return the piece of crap and get his money back if I can find a pattern. Which is why I'm asking for help with a pattern. If I can save him the money he spent on this shitty thing, I want to do that. If I can't find a pattern, then I'll take the thing apart. Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 22, 2016 Members Report Posted February 22, 2016 My apologies, indidana, . . . I guess I missed the part about returning for his money back. Got any idea what he paid for it?? May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 22, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted February 22, 2016 Well, I certainly aint seeino way what keeps that varmint from cuminout the bottom end, do you? Otherwise, if'n that's a 5", I'd be fer figgerin' this here'll do it, or least ways purdy close Feller would hafta figger where to put teh tension screw (from preference) and where to locate the rivet hole, depending on IF you used a metal thumb break stiffener, otherwise .....

Members chiefjason Posted February 23, 2016 Members Report Posted February 23, 2016 If he is not going to wear it SOB, he does not need the long slots. If he's not ambidextrous he does not need any slots for weak hand carry. That leaves you with strong hand and cross draw as the only slots he would use. Which means a 3 slot pancake could solve his problem too. I got a request for one, talked him into a 3 slot. Quote
indidana Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Posted February 23, 2016 I'm not much into holster making. Where can I find a template for a 3 slot pancake? I don't think he'll go for it, he's pretty set on this one. He came to me about it months ago. Ended up buying it on amazon and now wants me to fix it. Quote
