Well, I made my first holster. I always wanted a shoulder holster, but couldn't justify the price for a holster I would probably never use, so why not try making one? It actually turned out pretty well. I think I'm going to add a strap to go around the other arm to help stabilize it, but it's quite comfortable as it is. The strap is suede and it stays put nicely.
The other hole in the holster allows me to move the strap to change the angle of the gun. I haven't decided yet which way I like better. They both feel pretty foreign.
Joel, you were right in your book when you said that drawing from a shoulder rig is not as easy as TV shows. Nevertheless, they are way cool.
My 13 year old son watched me make this over several evenings and decided it looked easy enough that he would make a holster for his airsoft gun. His is a snap-on crossdraw style that he is very proud of. I guess we're both proud.
Not bad for first tries eh?
(This is my first time trying to post pictures. I hope this works)
