Being around the house too much has lead me astray ...........
It's my first ever attempt at making a holster, it's a little rough and I've already decided to make a couple of small changes to the pattern but I thought I'd see what y'all think......

That is sweet. I usually don't respond to handmade holster threads, because they usually suck. But that looks nice.
Damn good for the first attempt,I usually make mine with a 15-20 degree forward cant.
One other thing I did on mine is I cut the outside leather high enough that it covered the ambi-safety,I ride a bike and the wind rubbing my shirt on the safety eventually started wearing holes in my shirts
+1 - Excellent effort. Looks really good.Quote:

You certainly have some great leather skills. That is a great looking piece of leather work.
Nice job!:hand9:
Nice job!
Wow! way to go, my first attempt was not something I would post a picture of. VERY nice, looks like you have been at it for years.
If that's rough, I'd like to see your idea of polished and perfect.
A couple minor details that could help it look a little more polished. It looks like you drilled the holes before stitching, I'd suggest a smaller drill bit, or better yet, a diamond shaped punch. I'm sure you've probably already thought of this, but with a full sized 1911, you'll want it to ride a little higher for concealment. Just shift those wings down a tad and it should ride great.
All in all a VERY good first attempt. Much better than my first holster.
Looks great, especially for your first attempt. :hand10:
Thats great looking :D I would of honestly never thought gun enthusiast were into leather as much as I have seen some of you all get into it. Very cool
The first holster you ever made and it looks like that?! Very good job :hand10:
