Avenger Style Holster Acrylic Template for Micro-Compact Pistols
Build custom leather holsters with confidence using this Avenger Style Holster Acrylic Template from Pastor Bob Leatherworks. Designed and made in Southwest Missouri, this reusable template helps leatherworkers create clean, professional-looking holsters while saving time in the shop.
PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the acrylic template only. Photos of completed holsters are shown for example purposes only and are not included.
Leave Paper Patterns Behind
Paper patterns may work for a while. However, they eventually tear, wrinkle, stretch, and wear out. As a result, they become difficult to trace and often lead to inconsistent results.
Instead, use a durable acrylic template that stays flat and keeps its shape. Because of that, you can trace accurate lines and build better holsters every time.
Furthermore, acrylic templates last for years. Therefore, you can make multiple holsters without replacing your pattern.
Classic Avenger Style Design
This template creates a traditional Avenger-style leather holster.
Leatherworkers have trusted the Avenger design for years because it offers comfort, durability, and a clean appearance. In addition, it provides excellent belt support while keeping the firearm close to the body.
Whether you are building a holster for personal use, a customer, or a gift, this template provides a solid foundation for your project.
Features Include
- Classic Avenger-style design
- Strong belt support
- Comfortable carry position
- Easy-to-build layout
- Professional finished appearance
- Great for custom leatherwork
Precision Laser-Cut Acrylic Templates
Each template is precision cut from durable 1/8-inch clear acrylic.
The set includes two template pieces:
Main Holster Pattern
Use the larger acrylic piece to trace and cut the main body of the holster.
Belt Loop Pattern
Use the smaller acrylic piece to create the belt loop and support components.
Together, these pieces help you create accurate layouts while reducing guesswork during the build process.
Add Your Own Custom Touch
One of the best parts of leatherworking is making each project unique. Therefore, this template gives you plenty of room for creativity.
Keep your holster simple and functional. Or add detailed carving and tooling to create a one-of-a-kind design.
Popular customization ideas include:
- Basket weave stamping
- Floral carving
- Sheridan tooling
- Border stamping
- Initials and names
- Decorative stitching
- Custom dye work
- Antique finishes
- Exotic leather accents
As a result, every holster can reflect your personal style and craftsmanship.
