Like if you were to take a razor blade and cut all the stitching and spread the leather flat and trace the outlines on a sheet of graph paper so that members could get a piece of horsehide from Tandy and make a holster of their own???

That sounds like a splendid idea!!!

Graph paper with 1/2" squares should work; you'll probably/surely have to spread the main body over two sheets, the flap, magazine pouch, straps etc can all be put on separate sheets.

Your holster templates would make a splendid addition to John Sabato's Luger Blueprint CD!!!

(Be sure to measure thread gauge and estimate length, whether waxed or unwaxed; any metal parts such as buckles, etc)...

I wish I could, but Mr Parkinson won't let me do intricate things like sewing/stitching. I just like to KNOW. It would be really cool to watch someone like Jerry Burney do his thing, and see what all those various stitches do that you see on the backsides. I don't buy a weapon and not detail strip it within a month.......just so I know what all the parts are and can see how it all goes together........or doesn't somehow
