This video demonstrates my process of making an Avenger style holster for Kimber's miniature 1911 - the Micro 9.
I start off by making the pattern, including how I dissect the pattern into individual pattern pieces. Then I demonstrate the entire assembly process, from cutting out the leather, to burnishing, sewing, forming, and final finishing.

► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides
Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.
The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.
Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.
Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.

my only day off work and so mostly I would have spent it catching up on some sleep. I recently bought me a Kimber micro9 and I'm in the market for purchasing a holster. well I've looking online and on YT for holsters and mag holsters as well. Came across this video and thought to myself..hell why not, I'll have me a looksy.. and this video did not disappoint, not one minute. Not one minute was wasted and I am drooling over this holster and the craftsmanship of making this awesome holster. I think I have found my guy and he's in my state as well.. feels like I've struck gold!!!

After watching this video about 6 months ago, I started making this style (Avenger) holster for some of my guns and for people I know. I have made about 10 of them now and I really like the style. It was all based on the design you've documented in this video. For the people I've made them, they all like them very much. They ride nice, they're comfortable, they're compact and easy to put on and off. It's a great design. Thanks for putting up this video. It gave me something different to make rather than the standard pancake holsters I've been making for many years now.

Well done! A tip I picked up recently is using a Q-Tip to apply dye, etc, to edges. It uses less dye and works well in tight or narrow areas, plus it is less likely to bleed over the edge. I do envy your shop though. =)

He filmed his entire forming process using nothing but hand tools.

Have you ever had the thread stain in places after dyeing and the water molding process? I used fiebings low voc, saddle tan dye. I let the dye dry for two days before molding. I did the same process on another holster with no issues. The only difference was I dunked the holster in water a second time while molding. I of course dyed the leather pieces and then sewn together days later. It doesn't look horrible but I want the best look.

Ok, that’s the prettiest damn holster I’ve seen in a while! I can’t get any of mine to look nearly that nice. Question tho…. You oil the holster, then you hit it w Resolene…. Isn’t Resolene a non-porous acrylic sealer? You acknowledge the holster needs some oil on it prior to use…. But in the months and years to come, the leather is going to dry out and will need some more oil applied at some point won’t it. I can see where some parts of the holster will still need oiled again (while avoiding too much softening of the areas responsible for retention). But won’t the Resolene prevent oil from soaking into the leather in the future ? Would TanKote be a better option since it will allow for oil to penetrate? Or is there a reason that Tan Kote isn’t a good option?

I like how he said not to get the leather wet because it might stain it and that puts the holster in a pan of water.

@AdamsLeatherWorks 4 жыл бұрын
If you wet the leather evenly, the whole surface is essentially stained evenly. But if you just get a portion of the leather wet, or get water spots on random areas, you’ll get noticeable stains. Or you can dampen an entire area, but keep it along the stitch line (paint within the lines), the stains aren’t generally noticeable.

Yay, a new video. Very nice holster! Your channel is one of the reasons I started to try my hand in leatherwork, holsters in particular. What‘s the reason you leave the mag release button uncovered?
@AdamsLeatherWorks
@AdamsLeatherWorks 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Glad you found the videos encouraging enough to try it for yourself! The mag release is left uncovered to help avoid accidental mag release. If leather was covering it, it could be actuated by the force of the human body pushing on the leather, in turn pushing on the mag release. You could punch a hole in the leather for the mag release (don't actually do this), but then you can't draw the holster because the mag button would snag the leather and lock the gun in the holster. Safest bet is to simply leave the button completely uncovered. Hope that helps.

@@AdamsLeatherWorks Thank you for the elaborate answer. I would have thought having the mag release button covered with a piece of holster would be more likely to protect it from an accidental engage than having it exposed.

Without a strap or tension screw could it loosen over time, where the gun might slide or flip out by accident?

Have you considered suede lining your holsters as well? It helps to keep the gun from getting tarnished from the raw leather.
@AdamsLeatherWorks
@AdamsLeatherWorks 4 жыл бұрын
I never use suede, but I do line with smooth veg tan when requested. Suede is still leather, though it’s tanned with chemicals that can actually damage some firearm finishes. And the suede can hold dirt, causing additional risk of damage to the firearm. That being said, a lot of makers line with suede, I’m just not one of them.

Hello thak you for publish video. What is the purpose of using dish soap in warm water?
@AdamsLeatherWorks
@AdamsLeatherWorks 4 жыл бұрын
The soap helps to break down the surface tension of water. I've always felt it helps the water absorb into the leather more easily. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's something I've always done. Plus, it's nice to have a little soapy water in the shop to clean my hands. Thanks for watching!

I believe there's a mold available for it. If so, I can make a holster for you. Check this page to see if the mold matches your gun, then drop me a line on my website or leave a note in the gun model box and mention our discussion here. www.knifekits.com/vcom/cooks-molds-holster-molding-prop-for-shield-940-wbuilt-laser-natural-p-13495.html www.adamsleatherworks.com
