These are the results of the last couple of days of playing with holster ideas. It will end up being for a Ruger P89 with a straight up cant, belt loop on the back and one on the tail, my hope is the rear slot will pull the grip in closer to the body to aid in conceal under a jacket. I haven't decided on tooling/sewing/braiding/color yet. I included some pics of the cardstock pattern also.

Jordan,

I like that design and haven't seen it before. Pretty slick to incorporate stiffener into belt loop.

I'm anxious to see how it turns out! Have you thought about raising the height of the pistol in relation to the holster so there is a little more room for your fingers to grip the gun unobstructed? Any how, I like the design and I can't wait for the follow up pictures.

Regis, thanks, the design probably came from a combo of pictures of other holsters in magazines and online, I usually just start by breaking out some graph paper and draw till I think it will look good and work. Boom, that is one area that I still need to figure out, the others I have made I usually endup trimming in the grip area for clearence I haven't quite worked out how to raise the butt in the design process, I imagine if I put alittle foward cant in it that would allow for it.

Jordan,

If you want to raise this one a little just cut 1/4" off the bottom of the pattern, and raise the gun that much too accomodate the difference. I think you have enough material on your sweat shield that it shouldn't make a big difference.

I'll give that a try and as a reward I will have to put in some extra time in the tub tonight!

Thanks for the step by step. Helpful for us that are new to holster designing.
