Based on the clip placement, I'm going to assume this is for IWB and if you placed the clip on the other side, it could be OWB? It didnt dawn on me until I saw the clip being placed on the "non-sweat shield side. Great information and clear step by step instructions for pattern design and technique. THANK YOU!

[@georgemcmillan9172]

Nice work! I've been making holsters, mag pouches, and belts, among other leather goods for 40+ years. In the future, when lining a holster or mad poich, try using 8-9 ounce leather, and pig suede for the lining. As far as visible contact cement, you can use a pencil eraser with light pressure to remove any exposed glue. Keep uo the great work!

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thanks George - I need to buy some more erasers. My white eraser takes quite a bit of effort, and all my pencil erasers (the pink kind) are hard and dry. Do you find the pink erasers work well for you? I don't have any of the yellow gum erasers around to try. Regarding lining with suede - I know a lot of makers use it, but also know a lot of makers avoid it for the possibility of it trapping dirt and possibly causing more damage to the gun's finish. Since you suggested it, I'm assuming you haven't had any negative problems with using suede as a lining? I tend to keep 3-4 ounce veg tan around for wallets, journal covers and that sort of thing, so it's usually on-hand when a holster lining job comes along.

[@georgemcmillan9172]

@@AdamsLeatherWorks, if you go to a woodworking supply store, (not the big box stores), you can pick up a sanding belt " eraser". It's about 10 inches long, 1 1/2 square. They work great for that, and it will last you forever. It's the gum type, and not that expensive. As far as pig suede, I've never had issue with it, but everyone's methods differ.

Hello Adams LeatherWorks, Noah here from Martinez Leathers in Waller, TX (a small town 40 miles west of Houston). I am a subscriber to your channel since 2017. the first video i saw from you was "Making a Pancake Leather Holster with Thumb Break, 1911 Commander." I am also a fellow leathercrafter and i have to say you are an inspiration to me. your videos open my mind to my creativity and i want to say Thank you. i want to say that I loved the video. it has been one of the best videos on making a mag pouch i have seen so far. the mag pouch came out AWESOME!!! I also make one just like the one you made. The only thing different is that i use the Tandy Leather Spring Belt/Holster Clip item# Item #1240-24 or the Item #1240-00. it is thinner than the one you used, but it is a great lil clip. I also use this clip on all the holsters i make as well as on my EDC for my Beretta 40 cal. Well I hope my comment on the thinner clip helped and keep making videos.

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thank you very much! I'll have to check out the clip from Tandy. This one is borderline too wide for smaller mags like .380's so it'll be good to have another option. Thanks for sharing!

[@Sokolva]

Excellent video, I love how you do trial and error with these new designs, creating them from scratch fully on camera and keeping in any mistakes to show how you go about developing these lovely holsters. I have a few questions about your process! I've seen in a few of your videos that you always seem to wet your leather when bending or molding it with soapy water, and I don't think I've ever seen another holster maker on here use that. Is there a reason for the soap in the water rather than just the plain water that gives you some kind of benefit? Also, is there any particular reason why you mix water in your Acrylic sealer at the end?

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thank you! As we gain more experience, our mistakes are (hopefully) smaller or less impactful on the project. But the important thing to remember is we all make them, and only by reaching the finish line can we look back and evaluate our work and make improvements on future projects or techniques. Regarding the soapy water, science says the soap lowers the viscosity of water. Whether or not that affects absorption into leather - I don’t know, but I’d like to think it helps. Plus, it’s nice to have a little soapy water near by to help clean my hands or the workbench. And thinning the acrylic sealer - that’s just something I learned when I first started a decade ago, and I’ve stuck with it. I believe it results in a less glossy surface. And since I brush it on pretty liberally, I believe it allows it to soak further into the leather to help stiffen it (important for holsters and related gear), while helping to avoid too much gloss.

[@glenspryszak6005]

Why did you wait until the end to hammer the rivet into the clip using the magazine as an anvil? This risks deforming the magazine.....

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Yes, the timing could have been better in hindsight but it was my first time making that particular setup. That being said, I don’t own the actual gun and there wasn’t a mold available for the magazines, so I purchased a pair of actual mags for the build and when I finished the pouch, the undamaged magazine got tossed into a box with all my other magazines that are only used for forming mag pouches. Sometimes buying actual mags is cheaper than buying molds, and the molds aren’t always made correctly (some are molded with no bullets in them...).

I am considering making a gum holster very similar to the cheap mesh o e I bought online. I like that this holster I bought has an extra mag clip on the top of the gun, but the holster itself doesn't allow for any accessories (like a red dot sight or a under the barrel flashlight. So, of course I want to integrate those into my design. I am considering using a seperate strip of rather to give it 3 dimensions and attaching this strip using a box stitch, it will give the holster the necessary width without worrying about where to place the stitch line, any thoughts about this?

Thanks Fred - I just posted a couple images of my cabinet to my Instagram feed.

[@mcknight1990]

The trick with measuring the leather around the 35 second mark is pure genius. I wish I had thought of that when I was making my latest leatherman pouch. It's a pain trying to get the stitching right after I form the leather. Guess I have a new method with Rev. 3, lol. I have got to remember the rubber cement, I hate how the edges split open on mine. Is there any benefit to lining it like this? Also, what's the difference in folding it like that vs stitching a front piece to a back piece?

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

I can't take credit for the measurement technique, but it certainly simplifies the process and takes some of the guesswork out of it. Regarding benefits of lining - I only line with veg tanned leather. Having the smooth grain surface facing inward towards the firearm/gun/knife, etc. does help protect the finish (thought I've never had a customer complain that their un-lined holster was affecting their finish). It also results in a stiffer end product (two layers of 4 ounce leather, when glued together, is generally stiffer than a single layer of 8 ounce leather). Lining also gives you the opportunity to conceal the stitches on the pocket panel. Had I attached the pocket panel prior to gluing the two body panels together, the stitches would have been better protected and would be less likely to snag and/or abrade over time. This was the first time I've made a mag pouch like this. If I were to remake it, I'd definitely attach the pocket panel prior to gluing the two layers together. But, I don't usually line my products unless the customer requests it and pays a little extra for the added leather and assembly time. Regarding folding vs. pancake style - I don't think either way is better than the other. If you've seen my previous video showing making a flat-back holster for the Taurus Judge, that's possibly a more ideal way to make a pouch with a clip since you could keep the clip mounting surface almost perfectly flat. And if you eliminated the 'pinch guard', the pouch could be worn in IWB, between the belt and the pants, or reversed and clipped externally to the belt.

[@paris3200]

[@MartusTube]

I would have formed before stitching. You can use some clamps and a soft rubber or even foam to avoid making marks on the leather while its wet. Leave some extra leather for the clamps to grab as well. That way you don't stretch the stitches and they look a lot more uniform. Gets rid of the "puffy" look and stretchmarks.

I rivet the clip before I stitch the piece of leather onto the holster. I don't run a machine though so I can stitch closer to the clip I think.

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

That's a good idea. And attaching the panel prior to laminating the two body layers together would conceal the stitches and protect them from abrasion while inserting & removing the mag.

[@roryoconnor7239]

So you used the leather strip and wrap around magazine. Mark where they touch. I am unclear how you determined your stitch line.?

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Sorry, that section may have gone a little too fast. The basic method is to wrap the leather around the gun/mag, mark where it touches, then lay the leather out flat and measure the distance between the two marks on the leather. Let's say, for example, that measurement is 6". Then you divide that by two, and that is your pocket width (3"). In this video, I marked a point in the center of the strap, then aligned that center mark on the center of the mag's side, then marked the contact points. By starting with the center point on the leather, that eliminates the need to divide the measurement in half. So our measurement is an imaginary 3". When I began the pattern process, I drew a straight line down the center of the paper. I centered the side of the mag on that line, then rolled it over onto its side and traced around it. Measure 3" away from the center line and that is the stitch line. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need more help. It may be more clear if you watch a couple of my other recent videos.

I should have mentioned that in the video, but it didn't cross my mind at the time. It's crazy, but a lot of times you can buy the real magazine for cheaper than the cost of a mold. And some mold makers don't put a dummy round in the magazine when they make the mold, so the magazines are useless from a holster-making standpoint.

[@joshuapoche5137]

@@AdamsLeatherWorks but yes i think i was just saturating it to much and letting it sit to long causing it to just keep darkening. Man i really appreciate your thoughts

You could always use some 2 sided tape on gluing the clip piece in lieu of using glue.

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

You mean something along the lines of basting tape? If so, that's a great idea.

[@TexHoss1]

@@AdamsLeatherWorks I don't know what it is called other than 2 side tape, sticky on both sides. I have used it many times when I just need to hold something in place around the edge to sew it. I have bought it at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc. There are several widths of it which is good.

Thanks Eddie - I'll probably have to buy some to keep on hand.

Thanks for the video! Great work as always. Finally got my Glock 19 holster done, and a vid up on my channel if you gander over. The fingers wish I had a machine after not stitching by hand for a while. Thanks for sharing!

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Your holster come out great! I hear ya' about hand stitching. I did it for a while, but not long enough to toughen up my finger tips - they started going numb and tingling. Can't mess up those computer hands... LOL

@@AdamsLeatherWorks Thanks! Going to work on a full size 1911 holster for my buddy who has one, and says he doesn't carry it because he doesn't have a holster. I am going to try some plastic clips instead of loops. The loops put the belt line a little too low on the holster. Or try some other method of loops on the exterior.

Just curious as to why you made it an IWB pouch.

[@crypto_pinto2660]

Attempted to make my first magazine watching your video no offense to your video it was nothing you did wrong I cannot calculate for something although I did add an extra quarter of an inch all around the double-stack magazine and I got it's a fit but the seams look like they wanted to bust open so I started my project over I don't know what I'm missing

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Mine was pretty tight too, but it worked fine once it was dry. Did you line yours like I did? If it's still really tight when done, insert the magazine in a 1-gallon freezer zip lock bag, wrap it around the mag, then insert it in the pouch to stretch it out a bit. Some people use wax paper instead of the freezer bag, but I've never used that method.

@@AdamsLeatherWorks I have to start over leaning towards putting a welt and redoing the project with the same leather I was using and I am starting over because I got the magazine in there completely but there was a lot of pressure on the stitching which I'm confident will hold but it just makes the magazine holster look unprofessional

[@crypto_pinto2660]

@@AdamsLeatherWorks I have to compensate or the thickness of the leather on using because I did glue two pieces together but that's not what I used to measure the circumference of the magazine what was my first mistake and I have to compensate for the double stack mag
