humperdingle Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Made from 3mm veg tan, dyed black (upcycled from the remnants of a satchel i'd made previously) The loops aren't screen accurate, but I prefer them the same as holster, instead of tan. Also, used a Sam Brown style fixing on the strap. Used Chicago screws, but the top two are brass until I can get silver ones long enough to go through 9mm of leather! A very rigid holster, but made a bit of a mistake on the angled cuts. Fits the blaster nicely, though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayen_s[TK] Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I am also currently making my own holster. I found out your holster is different from sample below. The stitching is shown to be on the right side. Yours on the left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi, yeh, I wanted my holster hung from the right hand side, as opposed to the left, as was worn on-screen.

ayen_s[TK] Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Started my own leather holster built too here. Feel free to chime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Stitched to the right, with the loops instead of the tabs is for ESB TKs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Stitched to the right, with the loops instead of the tabs is for ESB TKs. Hi, yeh, I just prefer it with the black loops. Leaving them tan tabs would have been easier, as the leather started out natural tan My belt isn't screen accurate, though, being plastic instead of canvas, so the loops work nicely. Also, wanted a 'right-hand draw', as I'm right-handed. Doing the cross-draw would be tricky whilst in a suit, i'd have thought? I'll make another to suit my new blaster, if I manage to make one, but make it 'properly' Edited February 1, 2016 by humperdingle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'd say that it turned out pretty good. Nice work really. I'm also right handed, but TK-51878 (ANH-Hero) isn't. LoL. For me, I almost NEVER holster my E-11, even though I have a holster that works quite wonderfully for doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May account for the lack of response and accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sterling's magazine wasn't condusive to a right hand holster, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 The Sterling's magazine wasn't condusive to a right hand holster, I suppose.It doesn't seem so and if I recall they were usually set on a strap so they could be slung over the shoulder. I'm pretty sure they were never intended to be holstered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 It doesn't seem so and if I recall they were usually set on a strap so they could be slung over the shoulder. I'm pretty sure they were never intended to be holstered. As ex army I used to carry one of these at one point and no they weren't meant to be holstered... The only possible reason for being on the left originally has to be the Sterling's Mag... Nice work there Hump, if my armour didn't come with one I'd be askin how much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Even a Rubies holstered can weigh-down on the canvas belt. I can't imagine what a real Sterling would be like when holstered.<br><br> Cheers, mate. I need to make one with chrome snaps instead of the Sam Brown, though, to make it a bit more accurate. The leather is really thick and rigid, so again, not accurate compared to the flappy on-screen ones, but would probably hold up better to the weight of a heavier blaster better than a soft holster.
