Title: my first modern.
Post by: Boothill Bob on January 07, 2012, 01:58:00 PM

Howdy pards.
Now I have made my first modern holster accept my Wild bunch rig. I'm not satisfied, have to change some parts, like the main seem, Its to close to the gun.
What do you think? Give me some hard feedback.

Location of the seam and other "structural" details are things that the user is best qualified to judge, but I will say I like the combo of black and natural Basket weave.

Henrik,

Great job...a little critique...the sewn on piece would have looked better if it was slightly longer...just a  little past the center of the holster.  Good color combo for sure...

I like it...I say great job. The stitches look a little long for my taste but that's just me.

You meen the "sharkfin"?....... Yea, I think the stitches are a little to long to Rayban. I used my sewingmachine and we are not friends yet  ;) I think I will handstitch the next one. This was just a demo from scrap leather.

Thats a very nice holster there bud . One thing to keep in mind is the area around the trigger guard . Yours looks like it might or might not have enough room for a full combat grip on the pistol if you need to draw it . That was one of the very first things I learned in making carry holsters . Most everyone will want to be able to get a full grip on the gun even if its in the holster . Other then that it looks great!!
