Who This Is For

If you've been searching for a leather holster template that actually fits a micro compact pistol — not a generic pattern you have to adapt — this is it. Makers building holsters for high-capacity sub-compact carry guns consistently run into the same problem: standard templates don't account for the unique proportions of a micro compact frame. This template was designed specifically for that geometry, so your first tracing produces a professional result instead of a learning exercise. Whether you're a hobbyist building your first carry holster or a professional adding a new size to your lineup, this template gives you a repeatable, accurate starting point every time.

What You'll Need

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of leather should I use for a micro compact pistol holster?
7–8 oz vegetable-tanned leather is ideal for compact carry holsters. Hermann Oak is the gold standard, but any quality veg-tan will work. Avoid chrome-tanned leather, it will damage gunmetal.

Can I wet mold this?
Yes — we encourage you to wet mold your holsters!

Do I need the instruction booklet?
Unless you have used our paper pattern in the past it is highly suggested. The template gives you the pattern — the instructions walk you through construction, stitching sequence, and finishing. First-time makers especially should get them. → Tab Style Holster Instructions

Is this template reusable?
Absolutely. Laser-cut acrylic holds its shape through hundreds of tracings. One template set can produce holsters for your entire customer base or personal collection.
