Some custom Horsehide Holsters

[JRCHolsters]

I have an HR-1 for a commander. It's really cool -- it allows me to carry OWB in tight-fitting dress pants while wearing a sweater, and I never have to worry about a high reach.

Glad you are liking your HR-1. It has always been one of my favorites for OWB.

I keep trying to carry behind my hip. Honestly.
Maybe some day I'll get the feeling for it, maybe when OC comes to pass here in January and I care less about printing.

Or, maybe it's a lost cause and I should get one of these.....?!

What materials are shown here? Beautiful.
Is that more of a yellow in person, or does it lean more towards tan?
What color do you call the brown on the right side of the photo?




Thanks!

This holster was yellow ring lizard and chocolate shark. The yellow is very deep, almost giving of red hues in the darker areas. I was a little skeptical when it was requested, but it turned out gorgeous.

OWB doesn't have to be for open carry only. Depending on the pistol, where you want to carry it and ride height, it can conceal very well. I have carried OWB with just a t-shirt and shorts many a time, no one the wiser. The holster design has a lot to do with it. All my holsters are molded with an offset angle, to pull the grip in tighter to the body. Much more concealable than a standard pancake or the flat back pancake.

What position are you wanting to be able to carry OWB? What pistol? How tall are you? Are your pants hip riding or waist height? Based on all of this, I can make a solid recommendation.

I'll PM you in a few... Thanks.

Here is a JRC double mag pouch and IWB-SS for the SIG 239. The craftsmanship is as good as it gets and the leather absolutely gorgeous. Jim made sure the sight channel would accommodate the taller HD sights and I ordered both 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" belt loops. The mag pouch rides high and close to the body and is very concealable and comfortable. I've used these for several months now, just getting around to taking a picture.

One of the forum members asked me to build this portfolio for them. It is a retirement gift to themselves. The portfolio has front, back and spline stiffeners made from veg-tan Horsehide.
The outside is Horween Pecan Austin, with a pigskin lining. The pockets are all Pecan Austin along with the two securing flaps at the top, which keep papers from falling out if tipped upside down. The edges are all sanded, stained and wax polished.

That looks super slick. Very well done! So is this perhaps an indicator that you would be open to more work in this vein?

It's been a while since I Have had a chance to post any pictures. Now that I am finally getting caught up and had a chance to decompress in Panama for 2 weeks, I am going to try and be present more often.

Here are some pictures of a few pieces I made that were auctioned off at the 2016 MGM IronMan. The funds went to the MGM Junior Shooter Camps. We were able to raise a couple grand, that went to scholarships for the kids.

Here is a new one that I just finished up. It's a blend of my IWB-SN and IWB-SS. It spreads the load out a bit without the large footprint of the typical winged IWB pancake. I will probably be adding this one to the line-up shortly.
