Hmmmm, could work I suppose. My machine could sew close enough. Just not the way I learned. I'll have to think about this. Edited October 31, 2021 by Hags Spelling Quote Not so retired RN.

Members JWheeler331 Posted October 31, 2021 Members Report Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Very nice work. Would love to see more of how you're doing your straps. Edited October 31, 2021 by JWheeler331 Quote
Members Hags Posted November 1, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) This is a pic of my connectors and straps. The 3 small straps in the upper left connect the holster to the shoulder and chest straps. I use 1" welded rings for the upper front of the shoulder strap and connect both sides to the ring with Chicago screws ( bigger for the holster, smaller for the strap ). I also use the rings for the non-buckle end of the nylon strap (cut to fit the person, + 12 inches or so for adjustment. The nylon strap goes though the bottom slots on the kinda triangular piece (RH shown) and around to the buckle end on the rh side for a rightie. The extra goes into a "keeper" for want of a better name. It has 2 slots and a center bar. I thread this on before I go to the buckle and put the end into to keep it out of the way (you can see it on the strap in the pic of the back of the holster). The shoulder strap goes through the top slot of that piece and gets closed with a Chicago screw. I use purple loctite on the screws on the holster at assembly and the others at final fitting. I used to not have the 1" bag punch and the triangle piece would float back to the left and loosen up. I remedied this with a 1/4 " punch for the leather and a soldering iron for the hole in the nylon pinned with another Chicago screw. With the bag punch the fit is pretty snug and I've had no issues with the attachment point moving. The skinny strap is the belt strap. I put a line 20 snap in the small holes in the right. These are spaced to fit a 2+in belt the other end attaches with Chicago a screw to the non buckle side of the chest/nylon strap`s welded ring. This greatly aids getting the gun out one handed. moving. I hope this helps. I'm still learning, and appreciate the feedback I get from this site.
