How to wetform a holster.

Recommended Posts

A new customer came in today.  He wants something I have never tried.  It is a molded holster for his Ruger 100 this thing is double action with a large frame.

I am going to use 10oz. vegetable tan with a natural finish.  What is the correct method of wet forming this project??

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. My email is in my profile.

A lot of the answer will be determined by the type of holster he wants.

If for example he wants a flap over holster . . . similar to the old cavalry holsters of 150 years ago . . . the molding will be VERY minimal.

If he wants a "wrap around" holster similar to what John Wayne wore in his westerns . . . you do a bit more molding.

If he wants a pancake holster with lots of "grab" and no suicide strap or thumb break . . . you will do a lot of molding.

Let us know which type holster . . . we can go from there with much better and more detailed information.

May God bless,

Dwight

GP100 is easy to make a holster for depending on the type. example  one on the right GP100.  May want try 6oz with a 2 oz liner.
