Bam Bam Holsters: July 2015

Decided to show some front and backs this week. For some reason People dont typically show the backs.

The 1911 holster customer requested double stitching. I think it looks pretty good with it. This holster is dyed Brandy and has a pretty aggressive cant, say 40-50 degrees. This steep of a cant is popular with concealed carry because if angles the gun is such a way that the "butt" is kicked up high and results in less printing with a bigger gun.

Some people like it rough. Rough out gives a look that is entirely different. More and more thumb break orders with open carry coming to the great state of Texas.

XDM 3.8 Rough Out Avenger and Mag Carrier

Have not done one of these in a while. Little extra stamping which I personally like. The "natural" panels are sealed with Dye block (easiest way to describe it) before the antique finish is applied to the rest of the leather.

Similar Holsters were in last weeks blog. These have some minor changes from the last ones.

1911

Sig 938

New mag carrier design (for me).

Double mag carrier 1911

Same new design in a single stack. This one has a sweat shield. I think in the future, that sweat shield portion will be just about and inch high and wont be a sweat shield but more of a guiding point for re-holstering. Of course it can be ordered with a sweat shield if desired.

Single mag carrier CZ 75b

The pistol is a Baby Desert Eagle 9mm.

Once upon a time there was a rattle snake in Tipton Okla. It aint bothering them no more.

It all starts with paper. Little mistakes here can add up later.

Cut it all out, sand it, bevel it,, transfer all the stitch lines so I know where to glue and sew.

Cut out the "just right size" of the rattle snake skin. Glue it into the re enforcement piece, then the re enforcement piece is glued to the main piece, then stitch it up.

Back to Sand, sand, Bevel , burnish (dying took place in there somewhere).

Fold it, and glue it, and back to the sewing machine. Then you guessed it,, Sand, sand, bevel, dye, Burnish. Toss the whole thing in a bucket of water, and form it to the gun then off to the easy bake oven over night. Seal it, and put the thumb break hardware and .......done.
