CCW Belt - Amish Work Belts - Free Shipping I've got a couple of these and they are great! Free shipping so $28.99 delivered. These are not vanity sized so measure your waist and order a few inches larger than that if you are going to IWB carry. -southernasylum

I would love it for pc but that would mean a total upgrade. I just can't do it. -southernasylum

Here's my 2.5 attempt at holsters. I say 2.5 because I started one and put it off for now. I wasn't happy with how tight I made it so I put it aside and made this one. I'm still using the same material from before. I did buy a snap setter thingy. This is the same dye I used before just greatly diluted. I used some old shoe dye on the straps. That didn't work out so well. This one only took me about three and a half hours. I've cut my time almost in half! This one was inspired by all the great comfy holsters on the market. Thanks for looking, -southernasylum Holster 2.5

They forgot this one:

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'm working on my second one now. Pics to follow. -southernasylum

Thanks, I live less than a mile from Hobby Lobby. I'll give them a try. -southernasylum

That's awesome. Now I wish I had a food saver! I did put the gun in a ziplock bag and used a straw to suck out the air. After a while I decided that a little moisture wasn't going to hurt the gun so I took it out and cleaned and oiled it afterward. The ziplock did seem to work fine, not sure why I took it out. Oh and I've been wearing this thin around the house and it's crazy comfortable! -southernasylum

This guy has great start to finish videos. I may try that edge airbrushing in the future.

Needs a cup holder! Maybe a brass catcher as well.

I could use some improvement but I traced a holster that I liked and made my own modifications. I guessed at the top layer based on the bottom layer and I could have actually use a smaller piece on top. Once you wet the leather it's extremely plyable. I put the gun into the holster and molded it some with my hands and let it dry overnight. The next day I did some detail molding. I played with it too much and it shows but I've learned my lesson. I used a sharpie and a poached egg spoon for most of it. Basically I just rubbed around the gun until I liked the look. I did tape a thin piece of wood between the sights to form a channel. That's about it. The stitching is the least fun but easy to do. I had a blast doing it and plan on doing more soon. You should give it a try. The leather I bought was just a piece of scrap for $7.99 and I stole the heavy duty thread from my wifes sewing kit. The dye was about $5 and the gum targ for the edge was about $6 I did buy an edge beveler for $11 also. Used an exacto for the cuts. I'm hooked now.

If you're at all good with your hands you can. I have tons of excess tool marks on it but the next one will be prettier. This was really just a first try experiment but I really like it. I literally browsed the internet and watched videos at every step.I also asked a lot of questions at Tandy, mostly about burnishing the edges. The dye job is pretty shabby too but I kinda like it. It really is easy, just takes some time. -southernasylum

I've been wanting to take a crack at holster making so I stopped by Tandy Leather and grabbed some scraps and a spring clip. I went back the next day to get an edge beveler and gum targ and dye so I could make the edges all shiny and purdy. I am stoked with how it turned out! I could do better next time with what I learned in the process and I have enough leather and supplies to make several more. The folks at Tandy were super nice and answered all my stupid questions. I should mention that I spent a bit more than $20 but like I said I've got enough to make several more. Also I need to pick up some type of finish coating. I just couldn't wait to show it off. It was inspired by and Old World Leather Pancake holster. I wanted a super comfy IWB holster and this is what I came up with. Thanks for looking, -southernasylum The Finished Product. Before stitching and molding. First coat of dye.

Yup, I go there as often as my wallet affords. They aren't posted. I'm addicted to their esperanza sauce! -southernasylum

Here it is:

Nah, it was a long time ago. I chalk it up to young and stupid but I'm glad it turned out ok. I think I went and vomited in the bathroom afterward. I started carrying a knife to work after that, not that I knew how to use it.

Not sure what I would do in that situation but I worked in Mc D's all thru high school. When I was 17 one of the female employees husbands came to the counter to continue a domestic dispute with his wife. It got loud and she walked away towards the back thru the kitchen. The husband followed her and started beating her. I was on the other side of the kitchen and was astonished that everyone nearby except the one smallest female worker were just watching her get beat on the ground. He just threw her across the room and continued his attack. I had to push my way thru the bystanders to help out. I was no match for the huge man who had his wife pinned on the ground but I had to do something. I grabbed him from behind and carried him in a bear hug out to the lobby and would not let him pass me while I was able to stand. He tried to move me aside a couple of times but I stood my ground and he ran off. I was scared to death but I had to do something, anything.

That's the funniest thing I've read today! I lol'd.

Isn't the Chinese word for cat chicken?

Scary, I use to live at that apartment complex.

This is true. I have flashed my lights at cars when I've passed cyclists or groups of children playing.

I don't flash because I believe a lot of criminals are caught on routine traffic stops. If they are stupid enough to speed while hauling a ton of cocaine or marijuana they need to get busted. You never know who you tip off to a police presence when you flash lights at a stranger. -southernasylum

I thought I was the only one who watched those! My brother turned me on to them and now I'm a big fan. I'd been waiting for the George Watsky one to come out for a month. I also enjoy the monday picture songs.

Haven't tried gamefly but you might consider trying redbox. For $2.00 I was able to let my daughter try out a $50.00 wii game she wanted to buy. After 15 minutes she decided she didn't like it. Saved $48.00 right there.
