My holsters - Opinions Please - Page 2

Redneck Repairs · April 29th, 2007, 10:34 PM

The 1911 holster is awsome . I really like the fact your are doing a " split belt loop " since with my size i tend to need to split over a belt loop . From what i can see in the photos your stitching and trimming looks good , but some of the others could honestly be better boned to the handgun . In summation your on the right track , but slow down a bit , lots of folks make unkle mikes in leather , and you can do better .

I dont mean any offense on my post but you asked for honesty . and honestly you show a fine potential .

Do you make the PT145 to fit an XD subcompact?

A couple years ago somebody posted an home-made plastic holster (not kydex) that was translucent ... almost transparent ... IWB ... I thought it was the coolest looking holster I'd ever seen.

Some of these home-made jobs are pretty nice, yours are a case in point.

Hey how about one for a Glock 23?

Great looking holsters. Most people's first efforts don't look anywhere near that good.

And I love the idea of a CTAC in leather. In fact, I've had the idea myself many times, but nobody is making it.

In fact, look at a Comp Tac CTAC and reproduce it in all leather. That would be something that would interest me.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I like the one for the natural leather on with the Kimber 4", but IMO that you could make the hammer flap a little taller is my preference. Other than that I think you did a HECK a job, and if you can knock on out for my Kahr TP-9, I'd be in love (ok love is a little strong).

very nice. i love how they cover higher more than the norm and they still look as they draw extremely quick. ...the ball has already been rolled... good luck on keeping up with holster junkies.

oh wait... I'm guilty.... ...damn.

Very nice and it looks like you have at least 4 orders already.

I may be interested as well.

Nice work.

I would like to make some leather gpoods for myself, but just don't have the time or gumption to learn.
