This weekend's sheath (and a holster, too!)

Looks awesome! I also own a Sig p320 Compact RX and think it’s a great gun. I’m getting used to shooting with the red dot. Your leatherwork is great.

 

Nice work Amy.

 

Looking good

 

Both look really incredible. I’ve never used a red dot sight, or owned a sig sauer for that matter(once considered their .45) but that leatherwork is great, and the knife sheath looks top notch as well!

 

Very Nice looking work !

 

Amy @ANovinc I've got a suggestion on the holster. I was looking at the pics again this morning. This is purely an aesthetics deal. What about streamlining the bottom of your reinforcement piece. That bottom corner bothers my eye. How about starting at the bottom, bout center of the bbl and relieving it in a lazy s pattern ending just below the trigger guard? Does that make sense? Wish I knew how to draw on your pic like some folks do. Again nothing wrong with your deal just might make it a bit more svelte less blocky, (says the guy carrying a Glock).

 

What clips are you using?

 

The only clips we use on holsters (IWB) are the Ulticlips. All others have been problematic for us. I won't use a clip on a OWB. Maybe cause I'm an old guy and stuck in my ways but having carried an handgun daily for most of my life, I'm a pretty dyed in the wool pancake style OWB kind of guy. For certain filed applications I have no problems with other types of holster, particularly flapped ones but for day in, day out, ccw or open carry I don't think a pancake style can be surpassed. Couple three recent ones I did.

Both of these are for a BF member. The black one is crossdraw.







What is the reason for having to be able to clip on an OWB holster for your customer?

 

Those Ulticlips are tough at first but they do break in. So many folks don't really know how they work either. They are desinged to go on the pants not really on the belt. So many of the other clips ya draw the gun and the holster comes with it. Yep I understand the thought but for me that has never really been an issue. Where am I, that I have the privacy to take the gun off and say leave it in the vehicle but can't undo my belt to do so? That smidgen of convenience is far outweighed by the comfort and security of the pancake, at least to me.

 

Nice work!

Todd

Really nice sheath and holster Amy . I think the sheath looks great without a border. sometimes less may be better. I’m working on a holster for a small s/w but I think I’m going to put a retention strap I’m always worried about it falling out. It will be my first go with w&c leather.
