Warbird Leather in Az
 

Here's the 5 degree cant hand boned holster I just received from Warbird. It's made for a 1911 commander. Fairly soft boning compared to some I've had made, and I prefer the soft boning so this one fits the bill perfectly for the commander/s.

Very nice Brownie. Great job Paul.

very nice!!

Brownie post the link or email address to him,

Beautiful work.

Paul produces another fine holster

Very nice, Brownie!

I received an OWB holster and belt from Paul last Friday, and now my full size 1911 set is complete.

Havana brown IWB and OWB holsters, double mag pouch and belt with antique Ostrich trim:

That set is absolutely gorgeous sir.

Beautiful holsters gents, Rick that ostrich trim is very nice.

Question. As the leather breaks in and years go by, can't the long sweat guard curve to the point of presenting a hazard when holstering the firearm? I'm positive I've read about NDs due to this issue, leather that has soften up with the years and all of the sudden creeps into the trigger guard and BAM!

Thoughts?

Thanks for the info ordering two holsters from him next month,


Clyde

Welcome sir, btw, sometimes I see the like button, other times I don't, am I just a duh?

All of my leather IWB holsters have the guards, including Brommelands going back over 11 years.

I've never experienced any such problems yet, myself.

Received my holster from Paul today and soon as my gun get formed to it will post pics of it,

I have had one holster that the sweat guard got sloppy on because the leather wasn't heavy enough. According to the holster maker. Pauls holsters are well made with great materials. Holsters won't last forever.

I agree..... absolutely beautiful..... so nice of you to put it up.....

I'm IN!!!!!

Rofl!!!

I have made holsters for years and never had one do a BLAM . It could if it tripped the safety and wrapped around the grip safety on a 1911 ( I suppose ):eek:

I have several of your sheaths, which are very nice.

I don't believe I've seen any of your holsters, Mr. Arley...

I've never worn one long enough to find out. I prefer leather without but at the same time appreciate what it does in preserving the gun from affects of sweat.

My draw stroke is such that it nearly gets in the way of the scoop draw, but it's really that I'm not practiced enough with the sweat shield in play, so I have to get to work on that, and have been.

I think if Pauls starts to fold over at all, it's easy enough to soak in water and stiffen back up after it dries.

The "Thanks" button is only on the first post of a thread and it doesn't appear for threads you start. Once you like it, it goes away and your name is added to the list. Is that the one you meant?

This is true ^

I don't list here . There are many that can make them cheaper than I can .

I hand stitch ( can't afford a machine ) . Takes me to long that way .

I put some up I made for myself on BAD BLADES corner here .

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification

Oh, I see. :toast:

Arley, just a thought but there may be some here who appreciate hand made quality.my budget doesn't usually allow for hand made but I can still appreciate and value quality when I see it.

Just ordered another holster from Warbird for the 227 gen2sas. I've gone to carrying it lately often enough that I'll need the new holster to conceal it well enough.

You need a gym bag to conceal that well enough. (couldn't resist, I bought the 220 when you got the 227)

;) :cool:
