BanjoMan Report post Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) This is a pancake holster and badge holder set that I recently completed for a Glock 22. The holster is 8/9 oz. leather with a glazed pigskin lining (approximately 1 1/2 oz.). Both the holster and badge holder are hand stitched. This was my first attempt at a black holster. I personally prefer different shades of brown, but the customer requested black so I tried it out. It turned out a little more glossy than I hoped, but I am pleased with it for a first attempt at this color. Please let me know what you think. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Lobo Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice design and workmanship. I would offer a couple of suggestions: 1. A little more space between the grip-frame and leather behind the trigger guard would permit a solid "shooting grip" to be taken during the draw. To maintain the same holster cant this would require a little higher ride with your basic design, and that may not be what your customer specified. 2. I prefer a bit more length on the thumb-break release tab. Holsters for defensive handguns should present as few challenges to accessibility as possible. My thoughts, for what they are worth. Best regards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobbyman Report post Posted August 21, 2011 Nice holster! How do you get the pigskin lining to stick firmly to your leather? are you using a contact cement ot anything. I used deer hide for one of my linings and in rolled up on me as i went to put the gun in. Please share your secrets if you would. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haystacker Report post Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Nice looking rig. I'm not sure if your back snap is exposed or not. i usually sew an extra piece of leather on the back of the thumb break. Make my hole for the snap in the main body and attach the snap to the extra piece. Hope this makes sense. It's been a long weekend.
