Members brinyar Posted February 13, 2009 Members Report Posted February 13, 2009 I just finished this Askins Avenger style holster for my G19. I haven't made too many holsters in this style, but every time I put one on it strikes me as a very comfortable type of holster. It works well for my body type. This one is also from Wickett & Craig 7-8 oz. leather for both pieces of it, and dyed with Feibings USMC black. I really need to get some more brown dye one of these days.... Quote

Contributing Member rdb Posted February 13, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted February 13, 2009 Nice clean work! Clean molding. I tend to overdo the molding. The belt slot looks right for a double layer gunbelt. Quote Web page Facebook

Members Go2Tex Posted February 13, 2009 Members Report Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, you do good work! What do you seal the black dye with to stop the rub-off? Quote Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com
Members ArcherBen Posted February 13, 2009 Members Report Posted February 13, 2009 Very nice. I really like what you've done with the tunnel loop. I just dyed a holster this morning with a similar design on the tunnel loop, but I like how you've wrapped it around to the front side of the holster. I didn't do that on mine and I don't know that it's going to work out too well. Quote
Members brinyar Posted February 14, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I polish the leather by hand with a cotton cloth and also use a buffer with a cotton wheel to lightly buff the holster before I dip it in an Angelus acrylic finish. So far I haven't had any rub off.... This was the first time I tried just cutting the front hole out for the belt to go through. I was holding my breath hoping it would work; it turned out better than I thought it would. Quote
Members JRB Posted February 14, 2009 Members Report Posted February 14, 2009 Very nice...I just can't seem to figure out those nice clean & crisp lines with the molding. Quote ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
Members Twosons Posted February 14, 2009 Members Report Posted February 14, 2009 I've got to know... How do you do the edges on the reinforcement piece? Quote

I was going to abondon that style of belt loop and go back to my original, but now you've got me thinking about giving it another try. Does it pull the slide of the gun into your body nice and tight, or does it kinda leave it hanging out there? I guess what I'm really asking, would you do it again? Quote
