Scootch Report post Posted May 12, 2020 I'm finishing up an avenger style holster that is lined. To this point the only holsters I've made have been unlined. It wasn't a whole lot more work and I think it's worth the effort. This holster I used 4/5 oz Herman oak for the liner and outer shell. The way the inside formed to the pistol is really nice. I have a few older lined holsters that were purchase, one has a pig skin liner and the other suede. This Herman oak liner is much nicer than the pig and suede in my opinion. What would you recommend for a fully tooled and lined holster... 8/9 for the outer to allow for deeper tooling and 3/4 for the liner? I haven't tried tooling the 4/5 oz leather. The lightest leather I've tooled has been an 8/9 oz. Thanks, Scootch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzShooter Report post Posted May 12, 2020 I'd go with the 8 - 9 for the outer. It will be stiff enough for good support of the gun . I need a real heavy duty holster for a gun and I'm using 8/9 for the liner as well. The gun is quite large and softer leather just doesn't work for it. I'll post a picture when I'm finished.
