GrayGhostForge Report post Posted June 21, 2017 Thinking about getting into leather holster making. Ive looked at the tippmann boss and the cowboy 227. What machines in the used market should I be looking at? 111w? Thanks Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted June 21, 2017 A 227 isn't big enough for holsters, I'd look at Cowboy 3200 or 4500. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What machines in the used market should I be looking at? 111w? Thanks Chris For holster making we typically recommend a machine that can sew at least 1/2" leather thickness and something that can use size #25 needles with #207 or larger thread. Most of the machine advertisers on here offer such machines, the most popular being the 441-type which can handle up to 7/8". cheers! Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 21, 2017 I use a Cowboy CB4500 to sew holsters, ammo pouches, saddles, saddle bags, gun belts, etc. I often sew over 1/2 inch with either #277 or #346 bonded nylon thread.This is far beyond a 227 type machine, or any upholstery class machine.
