Sig holsters

[Mark Peters]

I haven't made anything in awhile - decided it was time to get back at it.   

I made a paddle holster for my Sig P226 this week - cheated a bit and used a blade tech paddle.    I learned quite a bit making this - especially the need to refine my patterns.   I was originally going to have a thumb break and wish that I had as it is not a tight as I would like.  While I can hold it upside down and not have it fall out, a slight shake will make it drop.    I am not happy with the toe - that definitely needs reworking in the pattern.

The magazine ejector button on the P226 is very aggressive.  Not sure what I can about that to prevent the obvious damage that its creating (in just one 1 day and about 20 reholsterings.)

I used some Horween russet strip horse hide (approx. 7oz) with tiger thread.   The only finish is aussie wax.

A while back, I made my first pancake holster for my wife's Sig 238, also from Horween russet horse hide.

Mark, . . . do yourself a favor and when you remake this, . . . undercut the back side below the mag ejector button, . . . other paddle holsters as well as yours, . . . are only a nudge away from a lost mag, . . . tuning your fine firearm into a single shot.

Mine did that to me one time when a coon was robbing my hen house.

I learned a valuable lesson about holsters that day.

May God bless,
