Making a Pocket Holster for my Ruger LCP

[10mm-man]

Ok, so I was inspired by Spyder doing a holster, so I started researching and decided to go at it today. I bought enough leather to do a belt, pocket holster, and one for my G19. (I am doing a different method than Spyder so if you followed his you will see some differences.)

I decided to start with the easier one and do the pocket holster for the LCP 380.

I started by doing a template, this should have been done with some heavy weight paper, but I made due with what I had and used a regular 8-1/2x11 sheet of paper.

I traced my gun on it and then shaped the contours with a nickle, cup and quarter.

I then laid out my leather piece I bought from Tandy Leather ($3.00) and traced the template onto it.

Next I cut the pieces out with an utility knife.

I then cut out the Ostrich accent piece.

Traced the gun onto the inside piece for reference then proceeded to glue the pieces and the ostrich together.

I am gonna let dry tonight and then move onto sanding/shaping tomorrow...
