Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 1, 2008 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. Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted February 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Jordan, I like that design and haven't seen it before. Pretty slick to incorporate stiffener into belt loop. Regis Edited February 1, 2008 by Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted February 1, 2008 Members Report Posted February 1, 2008 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. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 1, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 1, 2008 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.

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted February 2, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted February 2, 2008 JORDAN , looking good great design. Its good to see that you dont spend ALL your time in the HOT TUB. Quote Luke
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted February 2, 2008 Members Report Posted February 2, 2008 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. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 2, 2008 I'll give that a try and as a reward I will have to put in some extra time in the tub tonight! Quote

Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 2, 2008 Could be a new way to case leather and soothe my aches and pains at the same time, two birds with one hottub so to speak Quote
Members Kayak15 Posted February 2, 2008 Members Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks for the step by step. Helpful for us that are new to holster designing. Kayak15 Quote
