Members Sofaspud Posted July 7, 2017 Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 One of my co-worker's husband wanted a cartridge holder that he could slide onto his belt. It holds 10 rounds of .45 Colt. The main part is 9/10 oz veg tan, the loops are 4/5 oz. The loops are held on with copper rivets and stitched between each one. It's dyed Fiebing's show brown. Everything is hand stitched. Quote

Members Rohn Posted July 7, 2017 Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 Very nice work. Stitching looks great. I also love it! Quote

alpha2 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Outstanding! Looks like you've been making them for years. See, that's the problem with wearing those upside down...the bullets fall out! Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted July 7, 2017 Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 Nice. It reminds me of Nigel Armitage's shotgun slider. Did you use that for inspiration? Quote

I've watched a few of Nigel's videos, but I missed that one. It just seemed like the right way to do it (after a little trial and a big error). My first try I realized that the body was too light weight, and more importantly I got the loops too close together. Tossed that into my scrap drawer and started over. Lesson learned. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted July 7, 2017 Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah. It looks very similar to his that's why I thought that. He has a free pattern on his site and the video shows how to do it up. I'm sure you could adapt the loops to fit whatever you like. Quote
Members Sofaspud Posted July 7, 2017 Author Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip. Quote
