Not that I really needed another holster, but I wanted to make a holster like Gil did because I thought it was pretty cool. So here goes:

I started with a fobus holster that doesn't even fit my gun. Only reason it didn't was because the slide height was to small near the Muzzle.

Then I cut the end of the holster off and the paddle as well.
Using some tee-nuts like Doc used, but with spikes to bite into the leather,

I attached the holster to a leather slab

I wanted the Leather to be stiff enough for the job, so i had another bit of leather to add to it.

So I used a bit of this

Add a little weight

add a few grommets for the clip attachment and viola

I didn't want the holster to push the butt of the gun away from my body, so I had to stack a few washers under the holster to get the angle I wanted.

Sew around the edges to ensure that the leather doesn't separate.

Got a couple of clips from the local gun shops.

Attach the clips and there you have it

Not Bad! :) A holster is the next thing on my list, along with a CCW.

Wow John. It makes me wanna take my other Fobus holster and make one too.
