Members savage_here Posted January 30, 2010 Members Report Posted January 30, 2010 OK guys and gals. Just finished up my IWB holster for my Glock 23. Thanks for the suggestions on post of my first holster. I must confess that this is really my third holster overall. But, I wasn't thrilled with the progress on the second one (for my HK P7), so I've scrapped it. So, this is the 3rd started, but 2nd completed!! I did dye the edges on this one and did a little more thorough burnishing. I also got just a touch better wet-molding results. I went back to using water for wet-molding after my less-than-satisfying results with alcohol on the second holster. I also used the same method for this one as the first where I stitched the slide side first, then wet-molded, then stitched the trigger side. Again, this was a lesson learned from the second holster where I tried to stitch both sides prior to wet-molding. It's hard to do it the half-and-half method because I'm hand-stitching, but I think the results are worth it. Anyway, looks and feels pretty good to me. We'll see how it rides and feels after a couple of days use. Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions on my first one. It helped! Savage Quote
Members Tac Posted January 30, 2010 Members Report Posted January 30, 2010 Wow! That looks fantastic! I would never have believed that this was your third holster if you hadn't told me. Your attention to detail and stitching is first rate. -Tac Quote
