Hidden Holsters -R9 Dummy
« on: April 10, 2008, 12:41:43 PM »
 I recently met a man you all know very well.  His name is R.J. Hedley; he is a very talented holster maker and designer.  He has been kind enough to show me his craft and how he makes his holsters.  That is why you see such an influence in the ones I have made. I can be reached at Hiddenholsters@verizon.net or (813)404-8155

I joined this forum recently, but I have been reading it for quite some time.  I recently met a man you all know very well.  His name is R.J. Hedley; he is a very talented holster maker and designer.  He has been kind enough to show me his craft and how he makes his holsters.  That is why you see such an influence in the ones I have made.  I would like you to look at them and give me some  input good or bad.  I am open to any criticism. Like I said I am new to this craft which I enjoy immensely.  


Holster seems nice.

I am a big fan of the traditional makers mark.

How about a different design, possibly something with modern lines.  The R9 is very sleek and I feel it is begging for a modern holster design.  I  think Matt Del Fatti's PH-3 has great modern lines and is so unique.

Awesome job with the attention to detail especially the boning and the recessed trim.  That trim has been mangled by many new holster makers.  Yours are very clean and crisp.  Nice to see that you have the eye for quality details.

Great job.  Continue the great work and show us some other designs when you get them.

Its nice to see you changing up the design from RJ's standard.  Is the use of the rivets to eliminate the need for sewing?

How does the other side look?  Fully covered slide?

Keep up the great work.

JJ

Welcome!

Looks very interesting. I would like to see more pictures. Need a pocket holster that disguises the shape of the gun very well. If you produce R.J. Hedley quality products, I believe you will have all the orders you can handle.

This style of front pocket holster does a good job of hiding the print of the gun.  The detailed side of the holster faces in toward the body. I built a couple more today, I will take some pictures and post them tomorrow.

Here is a new back pocket holster for the Kahr.  Still trying to get a dummy Rohrbaugh.  Duncan say's it a month or so away.

You could (and IMHO should) get a real R9 for yourself!

A valued opinion indeed, I agree with you, it would make a great sibling to my Seecamps and M&P340.  Good things come to those who wait.

Would it be possible to build a belt holster designed like an I-Phone case, or a palm pilot case? It would be worn out in the open. Slide it on your belt and go, with all the phones, palm pilots etc. being worn today, no one would know the difference. I'll buy one. For a R9s

I had been planning to get a front pocket holster for my new R9 but really like the idea of legal belt holster that can be carried in open view (ala like a cell phone).  Does anyone know for sure that open carrying of this case is legal (in Texas)?  Thanks
