New Holster Prototype

Post by Lucky45 »

The making of Frankenholsterstein

After being frustrated from searching the internet and magazines for the right IWB holster for my gun and not being able to find it. I decided to do what many before have done when faced with this problem, including DaVinci, Galileo, Newton etc. I made it my damn self!!!

Why, you say, I didn’t just fork over $100 and buy one. I know I could afford it but would I be happy with it is the question. The main issue is Because I wanted it the way I wanted it, that’s why!

Anyway, take a look.

First, I would like to thank Blue Bell Diary Farm. One of your cows is missing, but it has been offered up for a more illustrious career than just giving milk. Look at the quality leather hide.

Second, I would like to thank my Mommy for allowing me to watch her sew clothing whereby I was able sew my holster from her encouragement. “Boy, sew your buttons back on yourself, your hands aren’t broken.� Thank you mommy.

Third, I would like to thank my highschool drafting and art teachers for showing me the differences in lines and symmetry, so I could carve out such a masterpiece.

Fourth, I would like to thank Dupont for inventing Nylon, so that my masterpiece could hold together for hopefully a long life.

Cowhide = Free
Nylon thread = $2
Belt clip and screw = $10

Blood, sweat, tears, time (2 days) from needle pricks, sliced fingers, shouts from wife and knowledge from Apache indians passed down through generations, and me not caring what ANYONE thinks about it, all ending in a holster that fits like a GLOVE. = PRICELESS

Awesome....I bet that is how many holster companies begin! I hope it serves you well for years! Now you have to make a mag holder to match it :grin:

Thanks jbirds1210, carlson1, JKDubb, Cosmo 9.


Yes, JK...it's my "Baby"

Thought I was going to have to travel to Isreal to get a holster, but then that war broke out. So I changed my mind. Didn't want a DE compatible holster.

JKDubb has good eyes.
Your holster looks great. It takes a lot of patience to make something by hand yourself, and it takes talent and knowledge to do it correctly.
I admire that.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

hey JK,
it is tuckable.



Alric,
I feel what you been going through. you see holsters online but you wish you could try it before you pay for it. And most sites don't have your gun listed anyway. Glad to see another DE here.

Mr. Lucky -

Looks like you found your own way to the Tucker Gunleather "Cover-up." It's a fine holster. I have one for my S&W 642.
