I live on a fixed low income budget,and honestly id much rather buy a gun i want than a holster i need.So over the least few months ive been making the best of the cheaper holsters i already owned and could afford and then started making what ever else i need.
Im having a hard time with my IWB creations as i keep freaking gaining weight and then my pants get so tight any IWB holster is uncomfy.Im currently on a "Watch what i eat diet" instead of a "real diet" as in the summer i will NEED to use my IWB one.
Some are just modified cheaper holsters like the 2 Uncle Mike pancakes wich i do use more than any other holster besides my bug holsters.All are hand sew with a polyester thread that will cut skin rather than break,and some copious amounts of glue is used in many places its hard to get a needle threw.
Most took 3-6 hours each depending if i started from scratch or was modifying one.
All use real leather i buy cheaply at craft stores as scrap pieces.
Please if you have any you made or have ideas for or questions pls ask.
I dont sell my holsters,but if someone really needed something i wouldnt mind helping them if its an item they cant normally buy.
I dont sell or charge for my work,but i dont mind helping someone if i can.
This is a spare mag holder for my main gun,it clips to the inside of a jacket pocket.I made this and designed it myself,but it does use a clip from a cell phone holder.I dont leave home without it and it is the easiest non obtrusive way to carry a spare mag.
This one is an Uncle Mikes Pankcake made specifically for a 1911.It kept bunching and folding up while on the belt so i added a spreader in the rear so it stays flat.Its be reinforced with leather on the front.The spreader is a peice of reinforced 5.11 belt that didn't fit me.
This is an IWB combo Kydex and Leather i fully designed also for my 1911.The clip has a seam like flaw but its only cosmetic,i need a heat gun instead of using an oven.The safety is fully retained and can NOT be disengaged while holstered.
