malabar Report post Posted September 18, 2013 a couple of new holsters... cheers s Silkfatblues, Very nice work. Are those staples in the keeper? How do you apply them? tk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supercub Report post Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Very nice work. Are those staples in the keeper? How do you apply them? tk. I use the same type of staples (think I got them years ago from Ohio Travel Bag). I use a small thonging chisel to cut the slot and a pair of cantle pliers to squeeze the end tabs down. If I did a lot of them, I'd probably make a flat steel bar to serve as an anvil and hammer clinch the tabs shut. The staples work pretty well on belt keepers and are quicker than sewing. I do have a question on the Python holster. The molding and finish work is excellent, but how is the gun retained? The stitchline is along the perimeter of the holster and does not appear to be near the gun. I realize the glue holds the leather together, but is that going to keep the holster from separating and loosening over time and with use? I have not had a lot of longterm success with retention unless the stichline is tight to the gun. If it works this way, that's great - Just curious. edit: I know there is a thumbbreak for overall retention, but does the gun move around in the holster after the glue seam wears?

renegadelizard Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Nice Silk, i like the way you use the retention screws on your holsters. i have to ask, on some of your long barreled holsters, even though you arent stiching up close to the gun, are you still glueing up close o the inside of the holster?
