Members Bolt Vanderhuge Posted December 26, 2017 Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) A shooting buddy recently picked up a FN40. Here is the holster set I built for him. I had never handled an FN before so I had to make a couple test holsters to get the gun pocket and the detail work sorted out to my liking. I should have done the same for the mag pouch. Then I would have discovered that the wings should have been about a 1/2" wider on each side before the straps. This pattern is good size for single stack mags though. The build is using Hermann Oak 8/9oz leather dip dyed in straight black Feibings Pro Oil dye. Stitching is by hand using 1.0mm Tigre thread. Finish is two coats of Angelus Satin 605. The holster is flat backed but the mag pouch is not. The straps are part of the back piece of leather for both as opposed to being separate pieces. This was my second test holster. You can see in this one that the gun did not sit all the way in like it does in the finished product. Edited December 26, 2017 by Bolt Vanderhuge Quote
