How To Make Holsters Kindle Edition

Large format with full sized holster patterns including detailed illustrations of tooling. Like Stohlman's other books, this is a classic. There are patterns for single and double action revolvers and a few autos including a 1911 shoulder holster. One can adapt these patterns to fit other brands and models of handguns. Many of the patterns, including some for autos and double action revolvers, do not cover the trigger. This might pass muster in a Hollywood movie, but in real life it can be an accident waiting to happen. You can easily adapt most of these patterns to cover the trigger. I don't recall seeing any gun belts, drop holsters, or Buscadero rigs. Most are belt holsters and Stohlman gives advice on adjusting the cant to suit your preference. You can of course easily adapt a pattern to drop the holster a few inches.

This book has all the information you need to make a holster. Really worth the money.

I use it along with the holster patterns I have. think you

Great book I have learned a lot from it. I have just made the shoulder holster from the book and it works great. Can't go wrong with a book written by one of the greatest Leatherman we've ever known.

A bit dated, but then again, I enjoy vintage Americana. If you do and you want patters for where to park your six-shooter or 1911, this book might be right for you.Al Stohlman is more than a little folksy, but gives great instruction on how-to, but it takes time to do it right. Bear all of that in mind and buy it if it suits you. If not, you can order a holster for way more than this flat, thin and hand illustrated treasure of a book.

Love the options. The ideas he has are great and he explains it in easy to understand ways. Great book

This made for the perfect gift!

You gotta love any book by Al Stohlman. I have used his belt book for over 40 years, now, and this one looks just as useful. It includes detailed info on how to create a custom holster to fit most any pistol. He informs you HOW to adapt his patterns to fit any size holster. A must-have if you intend to fabricate and carve leather holsters!

If you fancy making holsters and have never attempted it before then this book comes highly recommended. It is full of 'How to' information as well as patterns. Absolutely superb.

read this book but not used it yet seems very informative cant wait to try using it .
