First a set of holsters for my pair of Ruger Old Armies. Still need to make a belt for it, but having trouble figuring out what I want there. I am working on getting money to get a pair of Vaqueros (just got one off gunbroker), and so will need to make another set of holsters for them. I enjoy it though, but I am very slow.
Next a holster for my 4506 cause I am thinking of using it for IPSC.
I hope the holster qualifies as I have only shot one match and don't know too much about it. I just picked up three extra mags for a total of five. Now I have a holster. Only thing I still lack is a mag pouch. And that is my question. I hope some of you leatherworkers can enlighten me. I lurked over on leatherworker.net but could not find out how to do what I want. I want to form the leather around the mags. The mages are single stack 45 acp approximately the same shape as 1911 mags. How do I get the leather to form that much and because I only want the outside leather layer to form around the mag. The layer against the belt I want to stay flat. A rough idea of what I want is this picture lifted from gunbroker but without the flaps, but it shows how I want to form the leather.
Only thing I can think of it to build a wooden form and form it before assembly? Is there a better way? Is it smart to make one pouch to hold four mags or make two, two mag pouches?
