Members AzShooter Posted October 26, 2021 Members Report Posted October 26, 2021 I had to make a holster for my new 1911 22. I copied the Yaqui Slide. Getting the stitching right was a bear but I managed the best I could. Quote
Members HandyDave Posted October 26, 2021 Members Report Posted October 26, 2021 Great work. Very rustic looking i like it. Ive only been doing the molded holsters for a little while and there was alot of reading on setting up for proper thread lines with proper distance. And there has been and still is alot of trial and error. Ive got a few holsters thrown to the side where stitch line was to tight and no matter what leather just wouldnt stretch enough to make it work. Quote
Members AzShooter Posted October 26, 2021 Author Members Report Posted October 26, 2021 I understand that. I've made a lot of practice holsters. I forgot to put a sight track in this one. Fortunately it was still whet so I was able to put a piece of steel over the sight, down the slide. It worked. Now the sight doesn't interfere when unholstering. Quote
