Made myself a pocket holster for my new P64. We still don't have carry here in Hellinois, but hopefully soon. Figured I'd try my hand at a few holsters to see what I like when it comes time. Here's my first attempt at a pocket holster. Any tips/suggestions are appreciated.

It would be best if you add belt in it, to easily tie it on your waist. But I appreciate with your finish product.

Welcome to the forum Frank.
The pocket holster would be in your pocket not on your waist.

What Sewing Machine do you use ?
Re: Homemade pocket holster
No machine. This was hand sewn with a saddle stitch using waxed linen thread. I've been messing with leather for a few months now. First holster I have tried. Got a few other ideas in the works.SalemCat wrote:What Sewing Machine do you use ?
Re: Homemade pocket holster
Do you use some kind of vise to hold the Holster as you stitch ?
Do you pre-punch the holes ?

Re: Homemade pocket holster
I use a harness stitching awl to punch the holes and punch as i sew. I just mark the line i want to stitch and then try to stay on it. For now I a just using a padded vice when I stitch. Working on making a stitching pony to hold the piece to stitch. Supposed to be easier that way from what I've read.

I did leather work many years ago, and enjoyed it.

Thanks. I've still got A LOT to learn. I've only made this and some civil war reenacting items. Learning, and having fun with it though.
Re: Homemade pocket holster
Looks nice to me! My only suggestions would be to allow for more clearance under the triggerguard for a better grip on the gun and to follow the profile with the stitch line a bit closer. Really great job!
