I really appreciate your work, I came here to learn how i can make the holsters as there is literally no one who can help me. On the other hand Pakistan is working great in leather products but in holsters, according to my little knowledge no one in Pakistan working in this field who can help, i believe that with your videos & instructions i will develop the holsters.
My daily carry has been my M&P 40S&W, however I have recently transitioned to carrying my Springfield Arms 4.25 Ronin Operator 1911 45acp. Following your instructional video content, I created an Avenger Style with a thumbbreak. I really appreciate your work, & have learned so much from your channel.
Very nice pistol Matt! I bet that's fun to shoot. Thanks for the support and glad to know you've found the videos helpful! Thank you for letting me know.
I'm the same, I never go anywhere without being armed! My everyday carry gun is my Ruger Max9. But the reason I'm here is to continue my education in leather work! I have been making leather holsters, shoulder rigs and chest rigs for over seven years now but I never stop learning how to do this work better. Your videos have been a great influence on the quality of my work. I always put my own spin of my holsters but you have been a world of help and I thank you endlessly! Mike 3MP Custom Leather kalispell MT
Hi Mike - I haven't seen the Max9 before. Looks interesting! I wanted to get the Sig P365 when it first came out, but now there's so many competitors to the P365. I've yet to make a shoulder holster or chest rig. Gotten lots of requests for it them over the years, but had plenty of orders that it wasn't worth messing with. How's life in Kalispell? Always wanted to visit Montana. Thank you for support, and thanks for watching and commenting!
@@AdamsLeatherWorks The Max9 has only been out for since about March of this year. It has become one of my favorite everyday carry guns. I make more chest holsters then anything else, probably because of where I live. This is Grizzly country and most people love to get out into the badlands and explore, pick berries, hike just to name a few things that could put one in harms way. Kalispell can only be described as God's country. If you get the chance you should visit, you won't regret it. Unfortunately we have had to deal with a lot of smoke from wild fires coming out of the west, CA, ORE and Washington state. I have ordered a few of your patterns when I have been behind and they have been a great help. I also subscribe to your web site.
Thank you - I know I've seen someone recommend using another color as a base before applying black, but don't think it was brown. I'll have to give that a try! Great tip! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I carry a P365XL but I use a P228 for my truck gun. Buddy asked if I would make him a holster for his car. I asked "what gun?" And he says "I use a P228 in the car". You don't say! Lol Edit: I love your sewing machine! It looks like an old wind up robot walking. I could watch that for hours.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Nice 2 have you back doing Leather Holsters, Suggestion, 4 your quart and gallon die containers. I use pumps in all my quart and gallon containers, 2 stop drying in the pumps I cover the ends with a 3/8 inch vacuum plug, again great 2 have you back, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾️🙃
Hi Jim - great tip! Would you mind sharing a link to the pump you use? Being that Fiebing's switched from the small to large mouth openings, it may be difficult to find a pump that fits the different bottles. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I purchased them at teacher supply stores, you can use the gallon pump on the new Fiebing's quart bottles. Since I have your attention, did you ever build a larger cutting table??? GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
I'll see if I can find the pumps. Thanks! No, haven't built a new table. I haven't checked lumber & plywood prices lately, but I'll get around to it one of these days. I was planning on enlarging, enclosing & air conditioning my leather area of the workshop, but that was before lumber prices skyrocketed.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I had a shop built by self employed people, me being the contractor, I designed it 2 B able 2 teach people in wheel chairs, it's heated and air conditioned. Remember I only do bespoke leather, nothing is 4 sale. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
@@jimathey6153 Nice! I can't wait till mine is heated & cooled. I'm out there filming videos and sweating on the leather in my 95+ degree shop. I have ceiling fans, but can't turn on oscillating or shop fans because they're too loud on video. And that's cool you built an accessible shop for teaching others. Very nice!
Maybe add a bit of a bend in the holster between the magazine and the gun to maintain the same footprint while making room for your hand in a less conventional way. Of course you would have to create rigidity through some sort of reinforcement so as to keep the holster bend at a consistent state.
Glad to see a new video! Before I moved to Florida I carried my Colt Government model , combat elite 1911, .45 acp everywhere I went. Now I carry a Bond arms 2 shot Derringer loaded with 410 slugs. Favorite ice cream, cherry garcia.
I carry Security Six in my own leather IWB holster, likely inspired by your channel and others like it. The only real guns are wheel guns. Kidding! Semi autos are cool, it's just that revolvers turn my cylinder. Thanks for sharing the video. Be safe out there!
Nice classic revolver! Nice job making an IWB holster for it - I don't do much for revolvers, and don't think I've ever made an IWB for a revolver. I don't own any revolvers at the moment, but would love to add a nice .357 to the collection one of these days to compliment my Marlin 1894c rifle. Thank you for watching and commenting, and you be safe as well! Take care!
Nice - I used to own a little j-frame .38 but I sold it to my dad. Need to pick up another revolver one of these days, preferably in .357 to pair with my Marlin 1894c .357. Thanks for watching and commenting! Working on another video right now.
my everyday is a springfield 45, got use to the grip safety in the Marines and love it with the added trigger safety in the springfield i believe its a safe carry
Thank you for your service Mike! I enjoyed my Springfield XD .40 Service while I owned it, but it was my first handgun purchase and I wasn't very accurate with it for whatever reason (besides the obvious lack of practice at that point). I replaced it with a Kahr P9, which I really enjoyed and shot very well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You pose an interesting question. My daily carry is an M&P Shield 45. As a part time truck driver I carry a Haversack type bag with a concealed zipper pocket that has a Taurus G3 with the 15 round magazine inserted and 17 round with it. Both guns have proven to be flawless in their reliability. The bag stays on the seat next to me and my wife understands why, after 31 years of marriage she doesn't want to sit that close to me anyway. I really enjoy your videos, thanks.
I haven't handled the G3 yet. Looks like a nicely priced full-size option! What's the recoil like on that Shield .45? My dad has the XD-S .45 & 9mm, but I don't recall if I shot the .45. You must drive through some sketchy areas if your bag sits closer to you than your wife, and I mean that in the most-polite way possible... Thanks for keeping America moving, and thank you for watching!
@@AdamsLeatherWorksThanks for replying. The Shield and XD-S 45 have very manageable recoil, I was fortunate enough to shoot both, but I learned to shoot pistols with a 1911 in the Marines before the M-9 came into action. Trigger is better on the Shield. I'm in Minnesota, and after all the stuff that went on in Minneapolis I don't take chances.
Glock 22 (40 S&W) with night sights. I have a special magnet (rubber coated) so it holds it in the ideal spot between my right leg and the center console/gear shift in my truck. I lock up the handgun or holster it on my belt, if I leave the truck. I like your designs and appreciate your craftsmanship very much. I always enjoy your videos, because it gives me more ideas for things to make. Thank you
I hadn't considered mounting it with a simple magnet, but that's a nice & easy solution! I've thought about using a magnet to mount it under my desk, or behind the dresser by my bed. I'm guessing you use something similar to this? amzn.to/2WgWKHL Thank you for watching and commenting.
I've been carrying a Kimber Stainless Micro 9 with Rose Wood Crimson Trace laser grips as my EDC. Recently though I bought a Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365X that I'm looking to through into the mix. I carry my Micro 9 in a IWB2 holster that I made using your pattern and love the holster. I would love to see a video of you making the IWB2 style holster though, just to make sure I'm not missing something. I have spots on my holster that I'm thinking could be better and would appreciate seeing how you make them. Thanks for the great videos and making your patterns available. I've been wanting to get into leather working for a long time and these gave me the push I needed to finally start. I've been laughing recently that I'm buying handguns just so I can make a holster for them lol. Thanks again!
Mighty nice collection of concealed carry firearms you have there! I'm glad to hear you've found the videos and patterns helpful. Thank you for the support! I've hesitated to make the IWB2 video since the design is based off Milt Sparks very popular design. Lots of people make that style holster, but I just felt weird making a video of it. Send me a message through my website and I'll send you a link that might be helpful for the IWB2.
ICE CREAM: Salted Carmel. 😁 Great vid. I've made holsters before but I'm a duffer and I've never made a "car holster." Excellent video and explanation. Really appreciate your suggestions which you might do differently. THANKS!
Thank you! I've made an awful lot of P239 holsters over the year. Never bought the mold for the LCR. That ice cream looks delicious! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Glad to hear Ewan! I've never heard of that gun before. I just looked it up. If George Jetson had a pistol, I'd imagine it looking something like that.
My EDC, Springfield XDs, 45 When I travel, Springfield XDm, 9mm sometimes both. I’m enjoying your channel, and I think with the tools, I can give this a try. I love the sewing machine, however I’ll have to give this a try with the saddle stitch.
Nice guns! I like those CDP's. My dad has a 9mm and .45 XD-S. I like them both and was surprised how easy the little .45 was to shoot. Thanks for watching and commenting, and glad you liked the video!
Nice! Like they say, if you want to carry something badly enough, you'll dress around it. I'm just not willing to tighten my belt that tight. LOL! I was on the fence between the P228 and P229 when I bought mine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great idea for center console holster. I would have the mag in the front of holster to allow proper hand alignment . As for carry gun nothing wrong with the P229, I have one carry it . But, I go for my 1911 Officer model or Government size depends on my mood and what I'm wearing for the day. My state has limited capacity for magazines.
Have you ever made a rifle case? I would love to see a video on this subject. I had a friend ask me to make a custom rifle case, who eventually retracted their request, but I would love to see your skills on something like that. Thanks!
Awesome channel! as a beginner your skills amaze me! I have most of the tools, except a sewing machine, maybe in your next video you can explain different machines and what would be best for a beginner! Thanks and keep up the great vids!
chocolate fudge 😂 but joke aside very cool channel a lot of interesting videos I love to see the way you work the letter awesome work I have a 40 Smith & Wesson I would love to see a holster for that
My daily carry is a 1 pint Blue bell cookies and cream but if I’m feeling frisky I’ll bring out The Coffee by Hagen Daz it really does some damage you should see the target i shoot at …. The toilet
Really like your videos, I have learned a lot watching how you complete your projects. I carry a Glock 26 every day of my life. Part of the time I carry with a Glock 19 mag in with a mag shoe to basically make it like a Glock 19 with a little shorter barrel. I always carry a Glock 17 mag on my side as an extra mag. I got the Glock 26 because every now and then I carry on my ankle and have done that when I have traveled since it is easy to get to in the car while setting. Most of the time though it is in one of my pancake holsters at 3:30 or 4:00. Please keep making videos.
I love watching your videos. They are full of useful tips and overall very informative. Would you recommend the cobra class 3 as a first sewing machine?
Thank you very much! Regarding the sewing machine - what will you be making? I'm not a sewing machine expert, but I love my Cobra Class 4. If you can swing it, I'd buy the Class 4. From what I've seen in the past, the larger Class 4 will have a better resale value if you ever have to sell it. It looks like it's about $230 to $400 more, depending on the accessory package. It'll give you a larger working area that may be beneficial as you grow your hobby/business, but the overall footprint of the machine is roughly the same in case shop space is an issue. If you'll be making wallets and thinner stuff like that, I'd suggest leaning towards something like the Cobra Class 18. Whatever you get just make sure it has a servo motor, speed reducer, and triple / compound feed (needle feed + walking foot + lower feed dog).
@@AdamsLeatherWorks thank you for the reply! I’ll mainly be making gun holsters but will occasionally do wallets and belts. I’ll check out the class 4. I thought the class 3 would be able to handle everything I throw at it but I’ve also heard the class 4 is all you’ll ever need. So it may be worth the extra bucks.
Nice! How do you like your P365? I ordered one when they first came out, but canceled the order after they had all the initial recalls and shipping delays. Still really like that gun.
Hi Michael - thank you for the compliment! I fill my edge-dying marker with Fiebing's Pro Dye. I've used mine with that dye for 16 months without any problems. Highly recommend! Take care, and thank you for watching, commenting, and being a subscriber for 4+ years! Thank you!
Are you using a Cobra Class 4? If so does that machine serve all your needs? I just got one a couple months ago, haven’t had much time to play around with it, but seems to be a nice machine.
Yes - the Cobra Class 4 has been a great machine. It's a little on the heavy side when it comes to smaller stuff (thinner leather) like wallets because the hole in the feed dog is pretty large. I've had leather bend into the feed dog and cause the needle to exit out the edge of the leather, but it's rare. Just something to watch out for. I've been wanting to add another sewing machine to the lineup - something based off the Juki 1541 platform. One of these days...
Do you mind if I ask what those two CNC maker's marks cost you (that you showed a few videos ago)? I'm going to get a quote from them but I was just curious about the ballpark
@@AdamsLeatherWorks no kidding. I was on their site multiple times and didn't see the pricing. Thanks! Since I have your attention, I saw where you were saying that you get the Wickett & Craig tooling/carving leather. I've always bought their skirting, but have recently become curious if maybe I'm missing out on something with their tooling/carving. Have you also used their skirting?
@@shaunn7778 I have only used their tooling leather. I assume the skirting is the same, but thicker and maybe firmer? But I really don’t know. Lately I’ve been ordering Herman Oak from Springfield. I think they refer to it as Belt Bends. Less scrap, and almost entirely useable.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks dude... Speaking of Springfield... Have you ever grabbed their craftsman double shoulders? They are in and out of stock, but they're an excellent deal. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed them. When they're in stock, they're $35 and $45. 8 to 10 sq ft. It's gotta be the best holster-grade value I've seen so far. They're out of stock more often than they're in stock, so it would be hard to base your business' supply chain on them. A nice treat when you can find them. Definitely not comparing them to WC or HO, though
Thanks for watching and commenting! This is just something 'fun' I've been wanting to try, and it's still a lot smaller than the zippered nylon pouch I have. The title itself was tongue-in-cheek for the benefit of the algorithm.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I can understand the concept, a thin holster that stays in the car and keeps an xtra mag with the gun instead of bouncing around. I like belt loops just in case I needed to put it on cause ya never know. I’d change it and put a folding knife, and mag in front.
That's a great idea! I like the idea of incorporating more of an EDC loadout into it. Kinda like all these leather pocket organizers that are so popular.

@@AdamsLeatherWorksThanks for replying. The Shield and XD-S 45 have very manageable recoil, I was fortunate enough to shoot both, but I learned to shoot pistols with a 1911 in the Marines before the M-9 came into action. Trigger is better on the Shield. I'm in Minnesota, and after all the stuff that went on in Minneapolis I don't take chances.

Switch between Kimber CDP 1911 commander size versus springfield XDS ....like the video. Appreciate the patterns!
Nice guns! I like those CDP's. My dad has a 9mm and .45 XD-S. I like them both and was surprised how easy the little .45 was to shoot. Thanks for watching and commenting, and glad you liked the video!
Bersa 45 thunder and love it
Nice! I haven't handled that one yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks good to me!
Full sized Kimber 1911
On a long trip, I have the 629 44 or the 686 plus 357
I carry either a S&W 9 mm or a kimber micro 9 daily
Thanks for watching Scott! I've made a bunch of those Kimber Micro 9 holsters over the years.
Love your videos! Thanks so much!
Glad you like them! Thanks very much for watching and commenting!
Nice job!!
Thanks.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
My go to carry gun is a Sig P228 9 mm
Nice! Like they say, if you want to carry something badly enough, you'll dress around it. I'm just not willing to tighten my belt that tight. LOL! I was on the fence between the P228 and P229 when I bought mine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sig P220 in messenger bag. 500 S&W 6.5” on backpacking/ hunting trips
Nice large caliber guns! Never shot the .500 S&W Mag before. Bet that thing's expensive to feed! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great video!
Thanks Josh!
Thanks ;)
Road trip / Truck gun is a Taurus 605 with Butter Pecan Ice cream .
Great idea for center console holster. I would have the mag in the front of holster to allow proper hand alignment . As for carry gun nothing wrong with the P229, I have one carry it . But, I go for my 1911 Officer model or Government size depends on my mood and what I'm wearing for the day. My state has limited capacity for magazines.
Have you ever made a rifle case? I would love to see a video on this subject. I had a friend ask me to make a custom rifle case, who eventually retracted their request, but I would love to see your skills on something like that. Thanks!
great video btw!
S&W sd9ve is what is used as my truck gun.
I edc a fullsize 1911. Every. Damn. Day. Iwb. No big deal.
Nice! I carried my Dan Wesson CBOB for a while, but got lazy and went back to the P238, or my Kahr P9 (which I regret selling, every. damn. day. LOL)
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I feel like kahr doesn't get the love they deserve.
@@jb7707 Indeed! That gun was so accurate for me, with a fantastic trigger, and no 'pokey bits' making it uncomfortable to carry.
Awesome channel! as a beginner your skills amaze me! I have most of the tools, except a sewing machine, maybe in your next video you can explain different machines and what would be best for a beginner! Thanks and keep up the great vids!
chocolate fudge 😂 but joke aside very cool channel a lot of interesting videos I love to see the way you work the letter awesome work I have a 40 Smith & Wesson I would love to see a holster for that
Glock 22 is my road carry but my daily is also a sig p238
Kimber Micro 9 and H&K P7M8
P320 is my car gun
XDS 3.3 in .45CP with self-activating Crimson Trace Green laser and night strobe
My daily carry is a 1 pint Blue bell cookies and cream but if I’m feeling frisky I’ll bring out The Coffee by Hagen Daz it really does some damage you should see the target i shoot at …. The toilet
Really like your videos, I have learned a lot watching how you complete your projects. I carry a Glock 26 every day of my life. Part of the time I carry with a Glock 19 mag in with a mag shoe to basically make it like a Glock 19 with a little shorter barrel. I always carry a Glock 17 mag on my side as an extra mag. I got the Glock 26 because every now and then I carry on my ankle and have done that when I have traveled since it is easy to get to in the car while setting. Most of the time though it is in one of my pancake holsters at 3:30 or 4:00. Please keep making videos.
Thanks Steven! I appreciate the support. I shot a friend's G26 at the range once - nice little gun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
+1 on the Glock 26. Love that little beast. And +1 on the G17 extra mag. Did we just become best friends? 🤣
I have a 357 magnum revolver and I am wondering how you would make a holster for the center console with speedloader.?
I love watching your videos. They are full of useful tips and overall very informative. Would you recommend the cobra class 3 as a first sewing machine?
Thank you very much! Regarding the sewing machine - what will you be making? I'm not a sewing machine expert, but I love my Cobra Class 4. If you can swing it, I'd buy the Class 4. From what I've seen in the past, the larger Class 4 will have a better resale value if you ever have to sell it. It looks like it's about $230 to $400 more, depending on the accessory package. It'll give you a larger working area that may be beneficial as you grow your hobby/business, but the overall footprint of the machine is roughly the same in case shop space is an issue. If you'll be making wallets and thinner stuff like that, I'd suggest leaning towards something like the Cobra Class 18. Whatever you get just make sure it has a servo motor, speed reducer, and triple / compound feed (needle feed + walking foot + lower feed dog).
@@AdamsLeatherWorks thank you for the reply! I’ll mainly be making gun holsters but will occasionally do wallets and belts. I’ll check out the class 4. I thought the class 3 would be able to handle everything I throw at it but I’ve also heard the class 4 is all you’ll ever need. So it may be worth the extra bucks.
I like it, great ideal! S&W .38
Thanks Johnny! One of these days I'll add a S&W .357 to my collection to compliment my Marlin 1894 Carbine for walking through the woods.
Either a 1rst model Glock 17 or a 4" .357 Taurus revolver. Neapolitan ice cream.... 🙂
My Glock 19 and Sig P365 are in heavy rotation
Nice! How do you like your P365? I ordered one when they first came out, but canceled the order after they had all the initial recalls and shipping delays. Still really like that gun.
Do you make shoulder holsters for pistols with red dot and lights
Did you get a chance to modify this holster to give more hand & magazine clearance? Watch this video several times as with all of them!
I conceal carry my gen4 Glock 19mos fitted with a UTG OP3 red dot. When its time to drive? It’s taken out and sits knee high on my magnetic mount.
1911, 9MM
Hello Adam, I really admire your work. What do you use in the refillable bottle for finishing the edges?
Hi Michael - thank you for the compliment! I fill my edge-dying marker with Fiebing's Pro Dye. I've used mine with that dye for 16 months without any problems. Highly recommend! Take care, and thank you for watching, commenting, and being a subscriber for 4+ years! Thank you!
Carrying a CZ p10c
Nice! I haven't handled that one before.
Are you using a Cobra Class 4? If so does that machine serve all your needs? I just got one a couple months ago, haven’t had much time to play around with it, but seems to be a nice machine.
Yes - the Cobra Class 4 has been a great machine. It's a little on the heavy side when it comes to smaller stuff (thinner leather) like wallets because the hole in the feed dog is pretty large. I've had leather bend into the feed dog and cause the needle to exit out the edge of the leather, but it's rare. Just something to watch out for. I've been wanting to add another sewing machine to the lineup - something based off the Juki 1541 platform. One of these days...
nice I carry a 9 mm baretta as i live in South Africa i sleep with it under my pillow
Hi Anthony - thank you for watching from South Africa and for being a subscriber! Take care, and stay safe!
Springfield xdm competition .45
Nice gun Charles! That thing's a beast! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Glock 48 or Sig P365X
Nice! I haven't handled the G48 yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!
1911 government is my preferred daily carry.
Glock 31/357sig
Nice! I've never fired that round. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do you mind if I ask what those two CNC maker's marks cost you (that you showed a few videos ago)? I'm going to get a quote from them but I was just curious about the ballpark
About $60 each. They have prices listed on their site based on stamp size. www.leatherstampmaker.com/
@@AdamsLeatherWorks no kidding. I was on their site multiple times and didn't see the pricing. Thanks!
Since I have your attention, I saw where you were saying that you get the Wickett & Craig tooling/carving leather. I've always bought their skirting, but have recently become curious if maybe I'm missing out on something with their tooling/carving. Have you also used their skirting?
@@shaunn7778 I have only used their tooling leather. I assume the skirting is the same, but thicker and maybe firmer? But I really don’t know. Lately I’ve been ordering Herman Oak from Springfield. I think they refer to it as Belt Bends. Less scrap, and almost entirely useable.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks dude... Speaking of Springfield... Have you ever grabbed their craftsman double shoulders? They are in and out of stock, but they're an excellent deal. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed them. When they're in stock, they're $35 and $45. 8 to 10 sq ft. It's gotta be the best holster-grade value I've seen so far.
They're out of stock more often than they're in stock, so it would be hard to base your business' supply chain on them. A nice treat when you can find them. Definitely not comparing them to WC or HO, though
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I ordered a maker's mark from them. Should be here tomorrow. They were great to work with
I take all of them on road trips
LOL! I hadn't thought of that, but great idea! My kids bring all their toys, why can't I! :)
Glock 17 is my preferred
I carry a glock 29 sf every single day
Nice pistol! I bet that 10mm has a fair bit of recoil in that small frame. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@AdamsLeatherWorks yes sir, with good ammo, it can be painful.
My colt 1911a1
Glock 21 or a 1911.
.45 ACP all the way - nice! Thanks for watching and commenting!
First Like!
Thank you for watching! :)
Glock 22 goes everywhere with me. Not a fan of this holster
Thanks for watching and commenting! This is just something 'fun' I've been wanting to try, and it's still a lot smaller than the zippered nylon pouch I have. The title itself was tongue-in-cheek for the benefit of the algorithm.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I can understand the concept, a thin holster that stays in the car and keeps an xtra mag with the gun instead of bouncing around. I like belt loops just in case I needed to put it on cause ya never know.
I’d change it and put a folding knife, and mag in front.
That's a great idea! I like the idea of incorporating more of an EDC loadout into it. Kinda like all these leather pocket organizers that are so popular.
