My personal journey with my firearms. Likes and dislikes about each. Also real world reviews of products by people who have actually used and abused the things we like to buy for our weapons.

Holsters
For the past 6 to 8 months I've been making holsters. Mostly because they are expensive, and for the money I can create as good as any of the makers are doing.
I have learned a lot about leather. Most holsters, that you buy, are made from Vegetable dyed tooling shoulders. Leather is sold by weight and most holsters are 8/9 oz.
SO of course I have to do it different. I've been using a 5/6 oz leather and have been very happy with the results so far. Ignore the the clips, they came from another holster and I was testing the fit.
More to come...
