Well I am anxiously awaiting my Scrapper 6 LE.

I ordered the factory sheath with it to give it some pants to wear, while I decide what to dress it in.

One option of course is to make my own sheath adn I think I will do this, even if I eventually get a professionally made sheath for it eventually. It will be good practise as I intened to make my own for my FBM, when it arrives. And it will be fun too!

I used to make my own holsters and did a sheath or two and I still have the very basic set of tools I had as well as some leather.

With the hoslters, I'd make a fairly tight holster, soak the leather in methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) squeeze the pistol in.
Then I hand moulded them to the pistol.
The wet leather would stretch enough to be moulded and then dry more or less as is or perhaps shrink just slightly.
The reason for using 'metho' as the wetting agent was I though it would evaporate/dry quicker than water and possibly shrink less.
On the whole it seemed to work pretty well and since I did not know anyone else doing that sort of thing locally I could not compare notes or ask.

Now however we have the Internet and places like this here 'Yard, I can ask some other people how they do it.

So, has anyone got any tips for hand moulding leather for sheaths and holsters?

Apart from practice, what's the secret, in the wetting agent, the leather, the technique or all 3?

PS
No pics because our govt doesn't trust us with guns and I had to "sell" mine back in a cimpulsory "buy back", so no longer have any idea where the holster's are nor do I have anything to put in them if I could find them.
:-(
