Mark Peters Report post Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) 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. .

Dwight Report post Posted April 23, 2020 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, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
