Another new Inside the waistband

[Ron Padilla]

Holster with far greater definition than the 1st one, the 1st I vacuum formed just like this one but got better definition with this one by using a foam jig.  This one is 8/9oz leather machine sewn, hand dyed, for a XD mod 2 45acp.  The first one was for a 9mm this one gives a little more satisfaction, kydex is relatively easy when compared to leather.  photos to follow.

Nice work again. Just curious as to why you didn't stain the inside of the leather as well.

I wanted to leave that natural, and I had rubbed in some gum trag you know how that resists, so I just put on a coat of resolene, and it makes it a little different from what others might do.

You might want to look at either a 12 or 20 ton shop-press for your molding work. I have an excellent metal with foam inserts mold press I use for kydex and leather but would like more mold pressure. Some folks use a modified book press...the shop-press is hydraulic and a lot simpler.

 

Your leather work skills are good.

I have a taco press that I use for dex when I am doing that, and also have the 12 on my list of things to get in the future, but I like what the vacuum press does as it also helps in pulling the water out.

Very nice looking holster. I prefer ones with a more forward cant. Can you take a pic with it threaded through a belt?

I'd buy it. Looks a lot better than some I've spent too much money for!
