Members dbusarow Posted March 12, 2009 Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 Great job. I really like the low cut in front. Dan Quote
Members adaman04 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 That turned out really nice. Might I ask, what is the purpose of the low cut? It seems that it would wrap around the point of the hip and help keep the holster from pinching shut when empty (like is common with lots of pancake style holsters). Quote
Lobo Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Very nice workmanship and execution. I see where you are going with the low-cut front, but it does appear to reduce the tensioning effect of the pancake style, perhaps limiting the retention qualities of the holster. Quote
Members Bronson Posted March 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) That holster is for my girlfriend. She wears her pants high on her hips and has a short torso (the grip of her pistol is almost in her armpit). Those two factors decided the straight drop angle and the low cut front. The low cut front is primarily for two reasons 1) she doesn't have to draw as high to clear it and 2) by moving the front wing closer to the holster body it creates a small amount of offset so the grip doesn't jab her in the ribs due the the curve of her hip. The straight drop allows her to draw without cocking her shoulder at a weird angle like she has to with forward cant holster. With a loaded cylinder I can still shake it upside down without the pistol falling out. Bronson Edited March 12, 2009 by Bronson Quote
