Holster Finish Question- "flesh Out" And "floppy"

[chiefjason]

I've made a few of them and prefer not to finish the back. I don't want anything stiffening up the rough side. Stiffened fibers of that leather will scrap and poke you far more than the T nuts will. I made one for my G19 because I can't stand the horsehide squeak that my CB has. It's 100% unfinished 8-9 oz Hermann Oak and there have been no issues. I went with leather because everything I have made from horsehide has a built in squeak to it. YMMV, but I don't like it much. I'll be making another mag holder to replace my squeaky horsehide one at some point. I just need to settle on a design.

Tons of companies are knocking off the design. And from what I understand CB was one of those companies. For some reason what they were doing just took off. But my understanding is that they did not originate the concept.
