My first attempt at an Avenger style holster

Recommended Posts

I've been wanting to do one of these for a while now. After watching Adam's Leather Work video on this about 10 times I finally got my head wrapped around it. This one is for me so the logo is on the front. Made for my Springfield Armory Xd9 sub compact.

Haha. Andrew's has good stuff though, I can only aspire to such skill. The building wasn't so hard, I just had a dang hard time "not" drawing a pancake! The older i get the harder it is to change I guess.  I think i understand it now though. It just looks so different designing it.

A "50/50" pancake and what most call an "avenger" is THE SAME LAYOUT.  If you already have a "pancake" pattern, you could give me a few bucks for an "avenger" pattern, OR YOU COULD just cut the front end off your "pancake" and mirror it, as discussed in this YEARS OLD article by sumdummy ...

Yeah, I found that in my files after your previous comment. I use your method for my pancakes. Just forgot you provided this as well.

Very nice, clean looking rig.  Color is nice and light.  What dye did you use?

I'm finding that I like the Avenger style more than pancake and have gotten a few orders for holsters since showing off the Avenger I made.
