Speaking as an officer in the corrections field for many years, I can attest to the abundance of talent and skills that lots of them have, but do NOTHING w/ it because of all the "distractions" i will call it on the outside.

i will heed the advice of staying away from the paddle for now, since i used to carry my glock 27and was VERY light and comfortable. perhaps i will try for a belt holster. my next question is how to formulate a HIGH ride properly then? what thickness do i use and what if any concerns should i have putting the wet leather on my weapon? thanks for all the great advice so far. LOVE Ur rigs!!!

RANDY, thanxs...i actually have an old kydex that i figured i could do something w/ the paddle, took it to the shop today already and frog suggested the same about wrapping it. i thought it was cheating but still an option for sure. thanks again for the suggestions and encouragement.

i am a big fan of the paddle holster since i don't always wear a belt and like to be able to remove my weapon depending where I'm going. i have a full sized Sig pro 2340 and would like any suggestions as to how to formulate a comfortable paddle that will still lock in place once inserted. also any help as to how to get the best molding on my weapon for a professional look. i am new to all this and am afraid i may be taking on more than i can chew, having VERY limited tools and NO presses or anything for the look i want to get.

if any of you have seen frogs other pics u will see how far he has come. i am a constant thorn in his side at the shop , spending most of my free time bugging him their. he is a great teacher and has alot of patients. i used to work a little with leather helping my father over 30 years ago and got all his tools form him about 8mo back. considering i was 7 or 8 when i tinkered with him i am VERY much the beginner now at 40 and frogs encouragement keeps me wanting to do more and better. it will be a shame when he leaves ORLANDO because cause there are very few i call 'FRIENDS'
