Who This Is For

If you've been searching for a leather holster template that actually fits a round trigger guard firearm — not a generic pattern you have to adapt — this is it. Makers building holsters for classic carry guns consistently run into the same problem: modern templates are designed around squared trigger guards and don't translate cleanly to the curved geometry of traditional firearms. This template was designed specifically for that profile, 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 this holster?
7–8 oz vegetable-tanned leather is ideal for 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.
