[@oldshvlrdr4557]

Excellent video. You give me confidence to make my own. Thank you for making this available to all of us.

[@jakefinkle8087]

Great job showing and explaining how to make a leather holster. Thanks!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@Scamman11]

I have made leather knife sheaths before but I have been wanting to make my own holster. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship. PS Loved the baby spoon. I will now add to my collection of tools.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Jeremy Scamman No problem!

[@roberthusar442]

Hi Jason - the pocket holster you made for my Kahr CT380 is perfect!! Thanks for the personal communication was much appreciated, I would definitely recommend JDO Custom Leather to everyone, thanks again, Bob

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Robert Husar Awesome Bob, glad you like it!

[@MacXcode]

Excellent Video! Awesome Job! Thanks Jason! I learned a great deal from this video!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

MacXcode Awesome, you're welcome!

[@lindafoxwood9091]

Nice job! I made a holster 2 weeks ago, but should have seen your video first. My holster turned out good but your tips would have been better. 💋

[@greggordon6215]

Very informative video. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise! I have the same pistol and I think now I'll try this holster!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@robw117]

Great video! I've worked with veg-tan before, and I have a sheet of it. I've been wanting to make this very holster for my glock 26, and now you've inspired me to do it. Mine will be brown. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem!

Awesome holster . Made my first one ever tonight , yep screwed it up , but can still use it for a shoulder holster . I'm right handed and made it for a left . Still had fun making it .

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+duane groomes Awesome

[@EndingTimes0]

Nice. Im about to make a holster for my kahr cm9 this week after I finish a big matching set for a s&w 586. Its a crossdraw holster, gun belt, 2 double speed loader pouches, and a knife sheath. All thats left for me to do is the sheath.

[@NITELYONARMS]

That is a sexy holster. Just don't understand why someone would dislike this. Maybe they jealous.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Yep

[@ous2167]

Thanks JDOCustomLeather for the skill you share, nice job! That is one beautiful holster.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+ous216 Thanks

[@Gilpinales1]

I been looking for holsters specially for my new canik 40 caliber you just became my inspiration to start a new hobby. thanks .. I'm gonna start looking for the tools and find out where to buy the leather.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Awesome

[@kentison9143]

I have the same sander that i bought in 1997. NIce video.

[@Bobshouse]

Great looking holster. Great job simplifying what everyone else makes look difficult.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Bobshouse Thanks

[@samiam1150]

Geez you molded that holster fast. I've never seen hands that moved that quickly. Well, maybe once or twice. :) Seriously, nice job.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+samiam1150 Thanks lol.

[@newhampshirebound8551]

Very nice and very simple. I really appreciated this vid.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

NewHampshire Bound No problem, thanks for watching.

[@davidwebb3134]

That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skill.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

David Webb You're welcome!

[@Gunsnat]

great video, just getting started in leather crafting and learning as much as I can, subscribed! -Josh

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Guns N'at Thanks

[@tomn5880]

Excellent video. What did you call the leather and where did you buy it?

[@tomn5880]

If you extended the top of the backing 1 inch, the center mass of the pistol would be 1 inch lower and that would diminish the tendency of gravity to pull the pistol outward.

[@axegrinder3746]

Great looking holster and a well made video as well like I wish others would make. Looks awesome and professionally done, who would know it wasn't store bought?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@shanewooll8654]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@mscott976]

I want to use this design for my Kahr CW9. Great video an explanation.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@tkarlmann]

Wow, great video! Can you reply with a list of materials used? I heard "Veg(mumble)" for the leather piece, and no idea at all what was used for needle, thread, and stitch pattern! Thanks. Update: ok, the leather is listed below as "Tandy Leather, 8-9 oz."

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+tkarlmann Use veg tan leather, sorry for the mumbling, and use artificial flat waxed sinew.

[@arsalaniftikhar5920]

Thanks for the video Bro I made one holster for my pt92 I also used a spoon,it didn't cost much to make I would say probably 1 dollar for all the material.

[@snesmonkey]

Lovely job, you make it look easy (and I'm sure it's not) just out of interest, what is the thickness of the veg tan you're using for this holster? Thanks

[@JDOCustomLeather]

I think 8-9 oz.

[@6862211]

Wow! Love how you do the wet molding...I want to make one for my son...one question, do you have to put it in the oven to dry or can it air dry for a few hours!! Thanks!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

6862211 Put a hair dryer in front of it :)

[@randabuffer6562]

That turned out nice af!!!

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

nicely done. I just bought a ct380 Im super excited to get it this week. I want to carry it in a pocket holster in pocket. try that method of CCW. My 26 is just a bit big for my pocket and thick too.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+LiveFreeOrRIP Good luck!

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

I got the ct380 and its sold as of yesterday at the gun show. My ct380 was HORRIBLE with malfunctions and issues. I even made a video on the issues of how bad it is just trying to battery Never mind operation. I took a bath but thats to be expected when you sell a gun thats a clam. Kahr im 100 sure has some Great guns the guy at the local store has a smaller 9mm its not a poly framed one and its Super nice its his edc. However the ct380 has a Insanely stiff slide and mine was a lemon? Either way I sold it and got a g42.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+LiveFreeOrRIP How many rounds did you put through it?

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

I shot about 30 or 40 and it was so painful I quit. Every other shot was some kind of malfunction. I was shooting one at a time for a while and it was still failure to eject sometimes with 1 round. At that point I was so turned off It went for sale. A gun dont need a break in for a simple battery. I know you are going to say well kahr says 200 rounds bla bla I dont care. Im not going to waste $80 in ammo to find out the guy is Ultra picky on ammo types its gone. Call me different I want ANY of my guns to function on most common ammos or ill fine one that will Hence my g42. I can deal with the occasional issue but that kahr was a Nightmare. NOT worth it and lesson learned. The gun is NOT broken It shoot the One ammo perfectly and on the battery test it was 50 out of 50 no jams. So dont bother saying you gun needs to be broken in and its broken and its this or that I dont care its GONE sold outta here. Now some kahr pistols might be great for others the ct380 to me is a Junk and not worth the scrap metal it was made out of. ps I made a video of it..Check it out.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+LiveFreeOrRIP Sorry for your experience, I cleaned mine very well before I shot it and it only had a few malfunctions, then it shot fine every time.

[@edspencer5122]

Beautiful leather work.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Ed Spencer Thanks

[@gabbagool7414]

the web site at the end of the video doesn't work, do you have one?

[@darrinbarnard6797]

Great job now can you make me one for the kahr pm9

[@straightshooter90]

Unless I missed something, it looks like you didn't use any glue where you stitched the two pieces together. Is it just not necessary? Most other holster makers that I've seen use a type of glue along the stitching lines.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

You don't need to with a gun this small

[@outdooradventures790]

Where do u purchase your roll of leather? Great video!

[@MrJaseschlievr]

Very good job and informative video! Thank you.

[@thecynic807]

Love the spoon I think I'll make me one

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Phillip Pitman It's all I had at the time and it still works.

[@ZombieGunslingr]

could you wet the leather then press it between foam rubber like kydex ?

[@Irishman9271]

I've been using a spent .223 cartridge as my hole punch I need to buy some proper ones

[@Alycanj]

What was that leather called again?

[@terrysmith3051]

where did you get the lether, and what is the thickness? Liked your video. Good job.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Terry Smith Tandy Leather, 8-9 oz.

[@coledobner7059]

i have a question, after i have wet molded it can i just pop it in the oven or should i let it dry on its own?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

You can do both.

[@Black_Hog_Knives]

Nice work, looks great. I had one question, do you ever have issues with not putting a lining on the inside of the holster? I heard it can cause some wear on the pistol over time. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+xmourtissx Never had an issue with it. I had a Ruger P95 and made a similar holster for it, you might get a little dye on it from time to time but it wipes off easily with gun cleaning oil, or you could just not dye the inside. Also, you're not going to get any wear on a pistol that is stainless steel or plastic like a Glock, you might get wear on a gun that has been painted or has a dip coating though.

[@Black_Hog_Knives]

thanks for the info. I'm going to be making my first holster, your video helped me get an idea of where to start. Thanks again.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+xmourtissx No problem, watch my other video on making the Ruger holster if that helps.

[@nate3893]

You are the F******* man! Ty so much for an amazing, easy step by step video.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@pliniovassallo8358]

Parabéns foi o melhor vídeo que já assisti 👏

[@mccalltjtm]

Very Nice…Great Job!

[@ceriffes]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@thecynic807]

Hey you can take that slicker and put a drill bit into it and put it in your drill press. Makes slicking much easier. You probably know that though

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Yes you can but not that wooden one, Tandy Leather sell a plastic one that just looks like a wheel that you can attach to a drill press or hand drill.

[@karthikr2151]

Absolutely brilliant 👍🏽👌🏽

[@lindafoxwood9091]

I have made 20+ holsters so far for my pistols; my biggest holster is for a Tec-9 without the magazine for sure. LOL.

[@karlalitak3523]

Thanks for sharing this. Great video.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

+Karl Alitak No problem

[@MrNobody-ts6gv]

Have you ever made a double back holster for karambits?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Mr. Nobody No I haven't but I could.

[@MrNobody-ts6gv]

JDOCustomLeather That will be awesome. Do you have an Amazon seller account ?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Mr. Nobody No why?

[@MrNobody-ts6gv]

JDOCustomLeather I thought you sell your products there.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Mr. Nobody No, I sell mainly on Facebook and people who watch these KZbin videos, also a few other places, I'm all over. If you would like some work done email me at [e-mail], or feel free to message me on facebook.

[@toxictripp420]

After breaking it in that's gonna be a great holster

[@jayb4340]

What kind of leather is this and where can i find it?

[@theryanmark]

It looks like veg tan.

[@donnabowers1317]

Learned a ton from this, You did a great job

[@JDOCustomLeather]

[@jchd2004]

[@ekarattassana2875]

Perfect

[@black79montecarlo123]

Forgot the sight channel

[@artfulcoyote]

Very nice

[@davidmetzgar5574]

That holster was way to tight on the gun. Looked hard ro draw and reholster. Also you want the leather to come about a half inch past the barrel to help stop dirt from getting into your gun. But it looks nice.

[@Bigwingrider1800]

DAMM NICE BROTHER..

[@JDOCustomLeather]

lol thanks

[@pointpilot6376]

Loose clothing and power tools = a trip to the ER if your lucky.

[@Irishman9271]

Great video. Point of interest guys is not my proper pronoun it's dude.

[@tammyfinch4325]

are you serious. take it out and turn it the other way

[@EndingTimes0]

If you are talking about the stitching groover you obviously dont know how it works. If you turned it the other way, youd still have the same problem just from another direction.
