Leather G23/19 OWB Holster - freshly minted

[thesensei]

i like that! i think i see a little extra money to be made here. can you do one like that for a g26/27. or a j-frame
let me know.

G26/27 is no problem. The j-frame is no problem either, but I'd need the gun for the pattern and molding.

What did you use to do your stitching. I tried using a stiching awl and it looked like crap. The needle on it is too large

 

[thesensei]

First I made a pattern with construction paper, complete with holes. Then I marked and punched the holes using wooden mallet and punch. There are also hand punches available for this purpose. Finally, I joined the leather and hand stitched it using a saddle-stitch, which is inherently stronger than the lock-stitch you'll get with the sewing awl.

Good deal. Ill have to give that a try

I just picked up the same color dye. Thanks for posting all the info

No problem - glad to be a help! I'd love to be able to sell a few and make money to buy more leather, but I'd love even more to encourage others to learn to do it for themselves. There's a certain pride in personal craftsmanship.

Sell a man a holster, and he'll protect a gun. Teach him to work leather, and he'll buy more guns just so he can make holsters for them!
