re: I Know Nothing About 1911 Holsters

After about 4 hours of reading and saying, "Ok, I'll get that one...", then five minutes later saying, "No, I'll get that one...", I decided I'm going to make one. I know what you're thinking, but I have a fair amount of leather working experience. I'd considered it earlier, but I was a little unsure about being able to form the leather correctly. After a little research, I feel pretty good about it. I already have all the tools and a cow hide that's the correct weight. I looked around and ended up paying $10 for a pattern so I won't have to wing it there. Anyway, I'm going to give it a shot. I might end up buying another holster anyway, but I'm still waiting for my CCL to come through. So, I have time to play around. Anyway, I'm just going to try a pancake style holster. If I don't like it or I can't make it right, I'll make or buy something else.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I'll post a pic of whatever I come up with.
