Here in 2020, holsters have gotten so ridiculous in price, even factory stamped out ones that learning yourself is the way to go and I appreciate you taking the time to try and help us newbs.
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews Just saw your reply from 10 months ago. Thanks for your interest. The holster turned out great. Sorry I don't have a picture of it, but your video was of great help. I sold the gun and holster awhile back. Thanks for sharing your skill and advice with the rest of us out here.
Canik TP9? Nice! I just got one and have been doing research on holsters for it. I think I am going to try and make a shoulder holster using some of your tips. Thanks for a cool video!
Poking around looking to make a holster for my Hi-Point .45. I have a couple of decent ones, but there is something well satisfying about making your own stuff.
V Star 1300 Adventures yes there is. You might want to try looking at my newer video on making and using a crude holster press. It shows a little bit easier method to get the molding done to your pistol.
Question would it be better to make front piece bigger than back so you can create a nice pocket? I feel if both are the same size it will be difficult to have enough room for pocket.
Lately, I've been buying from Weaver Leather. Their Herman Oak stuff is GREAT. And yes, it's perfectly OK to use a real (UNLOADED) pistol. Just wrap it in saran wrap to protect the pistol from water.

Thanks for your video series on this topic. Just finished a holster on this pattern for a Ruger SR 9 based on your directions.
I just saw this... How's the holster working for you?

I'll have to take a look. I certainly have the time on my hands as a retiree.
That was my very first pistol. Be sure you measure and cut for the clearance of the rear sight , i broke mine off using cheap holsters.
THANKS FOR THE VID BRO SWEET LEARNING EXPERIENCE
jesse james Glad you like it!
This is a Canik 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 my favourite pistol ❤️🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷❤️ proud of Turkey
Whatever else one can say about the Turks, they make some fine firearms. Thanks for watching!
I would like to see that holster with a strap over the back ,and the sights covered and a closed barrel end . Very nice !
Great tutorial !
I wouldnt cover the mag release, it might eject the mag when presenting your firearm. Be safe.

You can certainly do it that way. I have, a time or two. I like the results I get this way more, but the maker can do it the other way for sure.

Sir, may I know where you buy your leather?
Is it ok to use the real pistol to form the leather?

Thank you!
Great videos, what type of leather do you use? Thinking of giving this a try as most companies dont make a holster for my pistol
9-10 oz vegetable tanned leather.
What did you dip it in to harden and protect the leather?
South Rus that's a 50/50 mixture of paraffin and beeswax.
