Making an Inside the Waistband Leather Holster and Gun Belt - Sig P365 CT Laserguard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2024
- I received an order for an IWB1 (inside the waistband) style leather holster and gun belt for the Sig P365 with the Crimson Trace LG-422 Laserguard attached, and the customer asked if I could film the process and post it to TH-cam. So, here ya' go! The entire build took roughly 4-5 hours, spread over several days.
► Snap Hardware:
T-Nut: 6-32 1/4" Barrel - I buy these from two different sources. I get 1/2" flange from McMaster, or 9/16" flange Black Oxide from Index Fasteners.
Snaps: Pull-the-DOT - I use the Cap, Socket and Stud, and I order them direct from DOT Fasteners
Leather Washer: I make them myself out of 8 ounce vegetable tanned leather, dyed black and dipped in sealer.

► 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.

I own one of Eric's fine creations for my S&W Shield. It is awesome! I liked it so much, I have one for my Glock 43 on his waiting list. You hear all the internet tactical guys downing leather due to its propensity for caving it on itself. True or not, Eric's holster will give you no such problem. His holsters click in with the authority of a kydex and still give you the comfort of leather. I have worn this thing through two summers of northern California triple digit heat with all the sweat that does bring. As well as through the humidity and heat that comes with my new home of Central Kentucky. It still looks like brand new except it is finely molded to my body. This is exceptional craftsmanship, built by someone who truly cares. I vote with my dollars. Which makes Adams my choice. Cant recommend him highly enough. I can't wait until my new one gets built. I'm wearing it in a kydex currently. Another beautiful creation Eric! Congrats to the new owner! I know you will be ecstatic!
Thank you very much for the kind words - I sincerely appreciate it! Glad to know you're still pleased with your Shield holster.
Couldn't be happier with the holster you made me!
That's great to hear! Thanks Jeff!
So glad to see another video on your channel! I can’t get enough of this stuff!
Thanks John, I appreciate it! Wish I could make more of them. This one probably took 20+ hours to edit. LOL
OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP. THANK YOU ADAM FOR SHOW YOUR CRAFT
Thanks again for doing this video!!! I love it. I wear it everyday!! My P365 w/ crimson laser site fits perfectly
I do need to order another belt. I didn’t compensate for the holster being on my waist. Also, the beers and burgers over the summer!! 😁
Hi Adam - glad to hear you're pleased with your holster! If you decide to order another belt, I'll roll it into the batch I'm about to start so I can get it shipped out to you more quickly. Take care, and thanks for your business!
The crows and I both approve, Eric. Nice work!
LOL Thank you!
Beautiful build! Thank you for taking us along and for the detailed description of your construction process and hardware choices.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely love your work, you’re an inspiration for me. Keep up the amazing work! Love your videos!!
Another work of art, I'm going out on limb and say you are backed up on holster builds.
Thank you! Yes, backed up, but probably mostly because I’m slow... LOL! Thanks for watching!
Adams LeatherWorks What's your lead time?
Ballpark is about 20 weeks...
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Ok I sent you a Email when you get a chance to read.
Outstanding craftsmanship. Beautiful work.
Great looking holster and belt!
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!
Such beautiful craftsmanship. A pleasure to watch.
I like doing a baseball stitch to make belt keepers; also thanks for sharing your methods.
Thank you - I'll give that a try! What type of thread to you use for your keepers? I used nylon since I could melt the ends to help lock the knot, but it's hard to keep the knot from releasing before I can trim and melt the thread.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I also use nylon thread, the thickest that is feasible for the application. Waxed button thread works well, is quite thicker than tiger thread and readily available. I don't know why but also don't like those staples.
I've been waiting for this video! Thank you !
Thanks for watching!
Lucas I know I read in one of your comments somewhere how to make a regular snap a lock snap for loops and I can’t find it again. I need to do whatever you have done before to accomplish that. Thanks in advance Steve
A dead blow hammer works well for setting stamps. It just will not jump. Try it if you don't already use one. Works real good.
PS I don't use it to punch holes.
Three people don’t like leather art. Welcome back. Great video.
LOL - yeah, can't please everyone. Thanks for watching!
I like leather art on holsters. But sorry I don't like flowers on my holsters or probably anything else thats leather.
More videos please!!!! I love them!
What a professional job 👍
We are still here, make more videos!
Excellent !
Thank you!
Excellent Tutorial and Workmanship... Thank You! Thinking about my next holster set-up ';-)
Thank you very much!
I just finished a owb sig p365. Nice work. What needle point do you use in your machine. I'm having trouble with my tri (triangle) points. It doesn't like when I back stitch or go into any hole with thread already in it. It always will cut the thread or bind up and not lock the stitch.
That's a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

salut , on me demande pour la première fois un holster pour un automatique et donc je regarde attentivement ta vidéo !!! pour les passant à 25:08 moi après avoir très souvent vu des agrafes rouillé et donc le cuir abîmé j'ai pris parti de coudre mais passant , oui c'est un poil plus long encore que avec l'habitude ça va vite surtout si on prends en compte que les agrafes faut pas les louper avoir la taille qui va bien et donc le fil et l'aiguille eux sont toujours là et efficace !!!! je ne fais que du sur mesure du coup que tout soit cousu main ou presque est un argument si ce n'est de poids au moins de qualité et sérieux !!!! merci pour ton travail !!!!
force et respect
Good video and explanations. Some crafters say the rougher side of leather, inside of holster, scratches the gun over time. (Your thoughts please.) Also, this brings up linging the holster. Do you line your holsters if requested? What lining material and weight do you use? How is lining attached to holster? Thanks for the help.
Hi, Great videos! Where do you get the gun models from?
A touch of white leather glue will hold the Chicago screw threads, yet break loose if you need to change buckles...
very very good ...
Nice crow sounds. lol
They were really bad that day for some reason.
My girlfriend came back from a long weekend away and I'm having a hard time paying attention to her for 29:48 LOL
LOL!! Thank you for watching. Maybe your girlfriend will like my Christmas ornament videos.... :)
always enjoy the video's, thanks. where did you get the dauber for applying the edge dye?

I was looking on your website for a g26 IWB 1 but did not find one. Do you make one or can i just use the g19 pattern and cut the barrel down to size? Thanks
Where did you get the black "T" nuts and stainless undercut screws? Thank you and I love your videos!

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, did U ever build that cutting BENCH?? I would like 2 wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thanks man I appreciate that a lot
Ps He’s my dad
@@CHEEKS3185 OLD LEATHER SMITH here, your welcome, ok then ask your Dad, or R U now running the show? GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
The work you do is great, I just started to follow you and I love everything you do, I have a question, where do you buy the replicas of the weapons?
This is my dad he’s awesome right
Good video. Do you heat the creaser or wet the leather first? Thanks
Thank you! I don’t hear the creaser, but some people do. I just dampen the leather a bit.
Could you expand a bit on the tee nuts and hardware? As in, where can I get the star head screws?
I buy the black t-nuts from www.knifekits.com, and I buy them in stainless (and the stainless screws too) from www.mcmaster.com. I buy the Chicago screws from www.springfieldleather.com. Go to their site and search for “Chicago” and you’ll find them.
Nice video. Do you ever line your holsters?
Thank you - yes, I line when requested, but I have to charge more for it since the holster takes more leather, and more time to produce.
Where can I find those hardware
T nuts screws and press buttons?
Can you make a holster for a semi auto with a weapon light such as the trl 1hl
Hey bud, I got a Glock 20 with RMR, Threaded Barrel, Suppressor height sights and looking for a custom holster, Is this something we can get made up for me? I don't see a mold available for it of course. Let me know Plz
Without a mold, I don't think my chances of building you a holster that you'd be happy with is very high. Send me a message via my website and include your location - I'll reach out to the maker community to see if anyone has the actual gun that can make a holster for you.
I need a holster just like this one for a CZ P07. How do I go about ordering one?
pro trick: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Zahir Dexter yup, have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)
@Zahir Dexter definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)
Where did you get the model weapon?
Очень круто!👍👍👍
Wow
Thanks for watching!
How much for a p365x with optic right hand iwb
Eric. Round knives really scare me. How long did it take you to get proficient with one? Is it worth learning the round knife? Now I just use an Olfa locking snap off utility blade. PS: Thanks for these videos. I made one holster based on another of your videos and need more practice. (the holster fits my little Walther PPK BB gun but my belt clip position is all messed up). Plus, I hand sew my leather. No machine.
Hi Bruce - I've been using a round knife pretty much since I first started playing with leather roughly 11 years ago. I found it was much easer to cut with and was much less tiring on the hands compared to something like an x-acto knife. Rotary blades are great, in straight lines, but round knives are pretty easy to cut straight lines too if you rock the blade forward. The only downside to round knives is really tight curves, but I use mine to cut all the way down to around 3/8" radius curves. I would definitely recommend trying one, but make sure you get one with high quality steel and keep it sharp with a high polish.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Any brand of knife you recommend? I know all the US leather tool sellers and manufacturers. Weaver, Springfield Leather, Rocky Mountain. The biggies. Osborne and others.
I only have experience with the Weaver Master Tools knife that I own. I believe mine is an older version of the 4-7/8" that's currently listed at $96... Their price has gone up considerably - I think it's about $30 more than I seem to remember paying for it. If you like things a little more on the fancy side, check out Leather Wranglers. His are super fancy and from what I hear, very high quality. He also has a great sharpening vid floating around out there.
I will take the ads anytime. The education and thrill of watching someone who is skilled and practiced is well worth it. Thank you for posting these and thank you for sharing. Bravo!
Did you record this in a rain forest? Lol
Will this template be offered on your site?
Hi Anthony - it's available here: www.adamsleatherworks.com/product-page/sig-sauer-p365-w-ctlg422-9mm-3-1
@@AdamsLeatherWorks thank you I appreciate it. I looked awhile back and saw the P365 listed as a model but no template at that time.
What sewing machine do you use?
Cobra Class 4
How do you modify the socket die for the snaps
Just take a flat file and file a flat spot on the male portion of the die so it fits inside the snap
Ok,I will look into that, Thanks for your reply.
Onde compro um vácuo bag ?
What cutting mat do you use??
Hi Cody - sorry for the late reply. I use an Olfa Rotary Mat, and the size is 24” x 36”. They are expensive but they last a long time. Mine is 12 years old, but it’s about time to replace it.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Thank you sir, I was admiring how smooth your round knife appeared to glide along on the mat, and was like gonna need one of those asap lol
It will cut into the mat, but just don’t press too hard. The mats are intended for rotary cutters, but if you don’t press too hard, it won’t dig in that deep. It’ll snap off the top of x-acto blades going around curves. Watch out for that.
How do I order a holster for a sig p365 an how much
Hi Joe - price depends on the holster style. Here's a link to my website: www.adamsleatherworks.com/gun-related-leather
@@AdamsLeatherWorks thank you for getting back to me so fast an I'll be sure to look at the website
Have a look at the J.H.Leather TH-cam channel. There are a lot of good techniques for belts and keepers shown there.
Thank you Mark - I'll check out their channel vids. I watch their videos, but haven't paid close enough attention. Thanks for the tip!
Whats that gun name
Sig Sauer P365
i konw
Wtf is with the random crow sounds?! Lol
Why not rub the dyes on instead of spraying like every other leather worker video I have watched? Sure would cut down on the amount of pollution you send out your window
I use a dauber every now and then, but I get much more consistent results by spraying. I know a lot of professional makers that dip their products in dye (another alternative). The main reason I spray is because most of my customers request airbrushed accents around the edges, which is much more difficult to achieve by any other method. I actually find the fumes to be worse when using dauber or dipping methods because both of those methods consume a lot more dye during the application process. I might be wrong (probably am), but larger amounts of product being used equals larger amounts of harmful off-gassing during the evaporation and drying process.
Decent video, just not worth sitting through all the adds!!!
Well, you’re welcome for the otherwise free educational video that took many, many hours to create.
I often wonder if peoples parents are aware they raised a child with no manners.
