got tired of waiting for my leather IWB holster for my glock 19........so I figured since I got quite a bit of time on my hands lately, I would try making one. went down to tandy leather supply and bought some 9oz cowhide, a couple of color of dies, somw wax thread and the rest of supplies. made a few patterns for my glocks and my kahr pm9, watched some you-tube videos....and let it rip. so far so good, its been working out pretty well, nice fit, exact postion/cant for me, not sure if i like the crossbreed clips or the belt loops yet. with the 9oz cowhide, its a pretty thick IWB so it holds the gun nicely, not flimsy like the desantis or galco you buy at the store.

Very nice Slud!!!

I need to find leather... I have this absolutely GORGEOUS red suede, but it's not stiff enough to do anything with (thick, but very very loose).

Where is this place? (Tandy's)

Where we're you able to locate this stuff locally? I would like to try making some leather/kydex hybrid holsters.

I'm actually planning out a chest rig for stripper clips. Hold something along the lines of 20 (100rnds).
