Making a LINED & STEEL Reinforced Clip-On IWB Holster - Sig P238

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This video shows how I made a lined and steel reinforced clip-on IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster for the Sig P238 pistol. This is the second of four videos I made of a batch of gear for Atomic Cowboy - a new eyewear company. The leather is 3-4 ounce Herman Oak, dyed with Fiebing's Pro Saddle Tan and Dark Brown, sewn with 277 natural colored bonded nylon thread, edges polished with Tokenole, and sealed with Fiebing's Resolene (diluted 1:1 with water).

► 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.

    Hi Eric, I know I'm a little late to the party, with this being a 2 mo th old video. I just found your channel and I am absolutely blow away with the level of detail and craftsmanship you put into these leather holster. It is truly a pleasure watching you work. But I was wondering, are there and benefits (and/or drawbacks) to having a steel lined holster compared to holster without one. Like, does it help protect the gun from outside forces, like accidentally tripping and falling onto it or bumping hard into something? Or does it help hold the gun in the holster tighter for longer without having to re-wet it and sculpt the lines again? This video has my curiosity peeked, thanks 😊

    With an in the waist band holster like this you wear it inside of your pants and the clip hooks on to your belt. Since the holster is sandwiched between you and your pants it can crush the holster if you’ve got your belt very tight and this will prevent you from reholstering your pistol effectively. The steel reinforcement piece ensures this won’t happen by bracing the bend of the holster and preventing it from collapsing under normal conditions.

    Hi Pat - I have made a few over the years, and I have this style of pattern available on my website for both the guns you mentioned. That said, the holster in this video was unique with the lining and steel insert, as well as the plastic clip. If you're building a holster to use the plastic belt clip, you'll need to make sure the hole spacing on the pattern matches the mounting hole spacing on the clip and adjust the pattern accordingly. www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns?Category=IWB-1

    We’re you able to complete a stitch with the presser foot locked in the up position? I guess I was under the impression that the foot had to be down before the needle went past 6 o’clock. Otherwise it would skip a stitch. Nice work as always 🙂

  • @AdamsLeatherWorks

    Thank you! The machine functions normally with the presser foot locked in the upward position, but you have to force the leather downward with your hands to avoid the skipped stitch. I run with the presser foot at just about its minimum pressure amount. I always have to be careful about skipped stitches and press downward with my fingers to keep the needle from lifting up the leather or letting the leather slide backwards when the machine pulls tension.

Find someone local to you selling & servicing the machine, and make sure it's configured with a servo motor and speed reducer. For smooth leather, you'll want to also make sure the upper and lower feed dogs are ground smooth & polished.

There is not a lot of solidity with those clips. J Hooks work the best for kydex stuff, or the snap loops.

The customer was happy with it and I like how this clip integrates easily with the way I'd normally design this holster (with leather belt loops). If someone doesn't like the leather loops, switching to this clip is an easy upgrade (so long as the hole spacing is the same). It may benefit from a steel band in the throat of the holster to stiffen it up, but that adds a lot of work to the holster build.
