Glock 21 45 auto/ snapping turtle holster

Recommended Posts

Made this holster with turtle tail. Had to do quite a bit of fleshing to get maximum use from it. 6 sq inches of useable leather is hard to stretch. A 1” belt sander w/120 grit and a feel for what you’re doing and you can make use of the rock hard 1/2” thick outer edges. Turtle puts off more dust than any other leather I’ve used so it’s best done outside. It takes more work than other exotics, but it’s definitely an attention getter. Sewing it together was easy peazy on the 29k except in one area where I could’ve skived it thinner, but the China patcher handled that like it should’ve. Customer loves it and that’s all that matters. Be great to make a costume out of,  And what I’ve been told they’re tasty too. I dunno about that, but I’ll eat anything with gravy…

I don't know for sure but I would assume on the south end of a north bound turtle. :thumbsup:  Sorry, just kidding.

A holster definitely for open carry excitement.  Would hate to conceal something so beautiful.  Nice work
