Wow.. those 1911 rigs are wonderful!
I might have to do one of those for my browning..... Wonderful info so far Chuck! I'm in the middle of a gun belt, so the loop info is a great help.

OK Chuck, you got my brain going! What is the best way to determing the loop size for a rivited loop holster? I've got an idea and might have to try it out.
Gary, let me know if you are thinking of one of these, I may throw this holster out into the world once I make one that fits me. --Carl __________________ --Carl N-T Porkin' Pig Price ?? KN Auctions to help a member in need and score a GREAT deal! ?? |

Here is a sample of what I call full-woven loops: The difference is the loop goes through the slot from the back, around the cartridge and back down through the same slot and repeat. No spots or rivets needed to hold them in place. The advantage of this style on an unlined belt is if/when the loops stretch you can if need be loosen one end and re-thread the loops, taking up the slack. Any questions fire away........... P.S. that holster is a "copy" of the one made for the DVD - the customer is a new maker and bought the DVD and a holster like that one to use as his "model" for a pair.....I'm looking forward to seeing his work __________________ Chuck Burrows Hand Crafted Leather & Frontier Knives dba Wild Rose Trading Co Durango, CO chuck@wrtcleather.com www.wrtcleather.com The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher.

Thanks Chuck,
I've got a bag of copper rivets, I think I might have to give this a try. Then I need to look at a good cartridge belt. I have so many ideas from this thread it's hard to keep them straight, I'm going to have to start a Moleskine with all the ideas. --Carl __________________ --Carl N-T Porkin' Pig Price ??

Hey Chuck, If you ever get bored how bout a tutorial on toe plugs. I've studied old original holsters and watched your video a hundred times and just have to admire the workmanship. Sewing toe plugs is probably where I struggle the most, sometimes it goes great and sometimes its a struggle. Any pointers you could share?
