I've made kydex holsters for a few years now. Started making my own after buying a Crossbreed holster online years ago. Once I got it, I knew I could make something much better, an so the process began. I built my own kydex press, vacuum press, etc.. With tons of kydex holsters, ranging from paddles, to Tek-Lok's, hybrids, and so on, I wanted to get back in to working with leather. I made some belts and a few non-firearm related items years ago, but hadn't done anything gun related. I had most of the tools, etc. so I made a few for friends (that I was stupid and didn't take photos of) the past few months and I've been enjoying it very much. Here's photos of my last two. One was made for a co-worker and the other for a friend of my brother. These are the first two that have been paying customers. While I realize that I obviously have room to improve, both holsters are well made and will last a very long time, which is what makes me proud of them. Tell me what you think, and be gentle....

Look good! I'd be interested in seeing your vacuum press or a link to where you got it if it's not homebuilt. I really would like to get one. I've been considering trying a "food saver".

Nice, so are you going to be making more? Been looking for one for full size 1911 OWB. Just sent back a "versacarry" and got my money back.

I agree with the others. Your work looks good. The one that has the 1911 in it reminds me of some Galco's I've seen. I mean that as a complement.

You are going to run out of time and have to make holsters full time. I have a 1911 that could use some leather. What would something like that set us back? Also have you made any single or double mag holder that match?

Well, I just don’t get the sweat shield in the front? Help me out here please. Or is the pistol underneath the holster?
