Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of leather should I use for this holster?
7–8 oz vegetable-tanned leather is ideal for large frame 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. → 1-Slot Askins Avenger 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.
