CFM Frodo Posted June 1, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 1, 2022 Dwight taught me a neat trick for the hammer thong. but it requires 2 layers of leather with 2 layers hiding that snap would be a breeze. neve seen that do hickey before , i like it though Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

Members CampCurryLeather Posted June 1, 2022 Members Report Posted June 1, 2022 They hold up, I have never had a customer tell me of any popping off or falling out. I drilled out a piece of scrap wood with a hole a little larger than the line 24 snap. Lay leather face down with snap in hole and give "snap protector" a light tap with hammer to set it. They will snag on a flat surface like a cylinder face but I position the snaps near the trigger guard. Quote

If I use just the heads to cover the bases of 15mm snaps, then I'll have 200 covers. Doing a catch-up The 16mm KAM head covers a 15mm snap base nicely, but the KAM stem is loose in the snap tube. It will need gluing on Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members chiefjason Posted September 5, 2022 Members Report Posted September 5, 2022 I use them on the inside of suicide straps, thumb breaks, on the rare instance I can't talk my way out of them. I hate thumb breaks. But it keeps the snap off of the pistol. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted September 5, 2022 Author CFM Report Posted September 5, 2022 i have a new way for me, i use a large round punch either 1 " or 1 1/4" dont remember but i use very light pig suede and punch out a piece then glue it to the hoodicky, wrap the edges around so they are pinned underneath when its set. i like it much more than adding a chunk o plastic.
