I believe it's a "thumb break"Well, I just don’t get the sweat shield in the front? Help me out here please. Or is the pistol underneath the holster?

Look good! I'd be interested in seeing your vacuum press or a link to where you got it if it's not homebuilt. I really would like to get one. I've been considering trying a "food saver".

Nice, so are you going to be making more? Been looking for one for full size 1911 OWB. Just sent back a "versacarry" and got my money back.
I agree with the others. Your work looks good. The one that has the 1911 in it reminds me of some Galco's I've seen. I mean that as a complement.
You are going to run out of time and have to make holsters full time. I have a 1911 that could use some leather. What would something like that set us back? Also have you made any single or double mag holder that match?
Unless someone would request otherwise, I make my holsters from 8-9oz leather, which is pretty thick but pretty standard for a good holster. I use a standard press to get the basic shape from the leather (hot wet-molding), and then hand mold it with various tools (wooden dowels, bone creaser, bone folder, and the butt end of a sharpie pen which works really well). That gives the holsters a little bit of stiffness and better retention, and adds the detail in the leather which I personally like the look of. Then it's just a matter of drying it with a heat box to stiffen the leather and get it ready for finishing.I assume that you form your leather holsters in the same press? That's what I'm looking for.
Really cool. I like the red/black dye you put on it.
What's the second holster?
