Draw the entire drawing as shown above on one single piece of paper. Holding a pen straight up and down trace the first side. Be careful not to move the weapon. Don't draw the dotted lines... that's our job. However, if you think you can cut the dummy to fit then add 3/4" plus around (dotted line) and do a test fit. |
Now, very carefully, roll the weapon up on its side and trace the width. Be very careful not to move the weapon when tracing. This width is critical to the cutting and fitting of the leather |
Now, carefully continue to roll the weapon to the other side and trace. If possible show the trigger & hammer position on all traces... ...this helps determine the shape of your final holster. |
After tracing your weapon, mail it to the Frontier address at the top of this page. Then... We will make a paper dummy, and send it to you for final sizing. Wrap the paper dummy around your weapon...you should have 3/4" on the sides...See sample in step 4... Make sure you have 3/4" all down the side, top to bottom. Then just indicate where you'd like the top edge to be...over the trigger or showing the trigger area. Call me if you need help. |
If you feel you can do it yourself go ahead..it will save time, but call us before sending the dummy. Cut out the dummy on the dotted lines and Wrap the paper dummy around the weapon and pinch all along the side top to bottom........... There should be at least a 3/4" area free where the weapon is not felt. This 3/4" is Critical Questions? Call Me |

| How to Trace Your Weapon for a Holster Although the perfect way to create a holster is for us to have your weapon overnight... The next best method is for you to carefully trace your weapon...this is not a guarantee of a perfect fit, but we will do our best... it may involve sending you a paper dummy for approval... but in the end we will get it right! for you... FAIR ENOUGH! |
How to Measure Yourself for a Shoulder Holster |
| Notice the top of the paper dummy...the curved area that will become the top edge of the holster...you can see how it is curved to cover nearly the entire trigger and trigger guard. When you send us your paper sample indicate where you'd like the top of the holster to be. EXAMPLE: If you want the entire trigger showing so you can draw the gun better indicate that on the paper drawing, or best, cut the paper exactly like you'd like the holster to be. In the sample above the holster will look EXACTLY like the paper dummy. YOUR PAPER DUMMY WILL BE YOUR HOLSTER |
