Members stu925 Posted February 22, 2017 Members Report Posted February 22, 2017 A while back I built a crossdraw holster for a customer and he like it so much he asked me to build him a pouch for his insulin pump. After much discussion about the project, he determined he wanted it to match the holster that I made for him. So basically he wanted an open top pancake style pouch to carry an insulin pump in. I got started on it right away and this is the end product: Retention is great, this thing is tight. In fact it was so tight that I had to use a little bee's wax on the inside to reduce friction on the pump so it could slide in and out. Otherwise trying to get the pump in or out was brutal, once I hit the inside with a little bee's wax it was perfect. Customer is thrilled with the piece and I'm pleased as well. Edges and stitching are some of my best work yet I think. Stu Quote

Members kiwican Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 I was in a mall once where the security guard was using mag pouch to keep candy bars in. I like this idea better Quote

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.

Members Mattsbagger Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 If I strapped all my diabetic supplies on my waist I'd need suspenders and a belt! A cigar case would work for my insulin pens though.........hmmmmm Quote
Members stu925 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 I can't take credit for the idea, that was all his. I just designed and built it for him, I wouldn't have thought of it myself that's for sure. Stu Quote
Members plinkercases Posted February 24, 2017 Members Report Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Excellent job,. I make holsters for epipens and the ones for myself also carry some on board emergency meds. I don't wear the real holster looking version often here in Canada as I have been road sided by a cop who assumed I was a police officer and pointed to by "holster"!
