AzShooter Report post Posted October 12, 2020 I'm using a lot of 6 -7 ounce and recently bought some 9 ounce. I like the heavier leather. It holds up better. I usually line my holster so they are 2 thicknesses of the leather used. They are stiff and hold onto their form for years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwican Report post Posted October 12, 2020 I've made three holsters now and used 7-8 ounce. No complaints so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefjason Report post Posted October 16, 2020 I use 8-10 oz for my backs and level 8 oz on the front. If the holster is one piece of leather it's 8 oz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
