Another Competition Holster

Recommended Posts

I tried some thicker leather this time, using 10 ounce for the body and 7 ounce for the liner.  Biggest problem was punching the stitch holes but I found a #2 punch that was large enough to go through both weights.

I normally use 5 stitch to an inch chisel but it just didn't go through all the way.   I had dyed it tan and then stitched with almond color thread instead of white.  The hardest part was doing the bottom of the holster after all the other stitching was finished.

The gun fit perfect but when adding the compensator it sticks out about 1/2 inch.  Next one I'll make a little larger.  I soaked it in hot soapy water and then formed it to the gun.  It's nice and secure.  I screwed up with the location of a tension screw so I'm going to glue a concho there to cover up my mistake.  I don't need a tension screw so this will help.

As always any criticism is welcome.
