Deanimator Report post Posted July 22, 2010 [Here are my two tuckable IWBs, the first for the Glock 19/23, the second for the Glock 17/22. The clip attachment on the first is unsatisfactory and has been superseded. The attachment on the second is better, but still not optimum. I think I'm going to have to use a lighter weight of leather to sew the clip on the way the commercial makers do. The G19 holster used 5-7oz. leather while the second used 8-10oz. The next piece I get will be something in between. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deanimator Report post Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Here's my best attempt at ain IWb to date. I'm happy with it excwpt for the fact it's so big. It seems to me that Chicago screws are the way to go. The only real issues I have with my second IWB are that the adjustable rear sight still has a tendency to poke me in the side, even with the body shield. I think the solution to that problem is to just put the cheap plastic Glock rear sight back on. The other issue I have is that the reinforcement at the mouth of the holster makes taking the holster off a little bit more difficult than it needs to be. A combination of lighter weight leather (all around) and more aggressive edging should fix that. After I do my IWBs for my M1911 and a friends Springfield MicroCompact, I think I'll do some kind of OWB for my 4" Model 29 for carry in the winter. Actually, I've been thinking of doing a large "pocket" holster for use in the car in the winter. Ohio law requires a holster for on-body carry in a vehicle, for which a pocket holster is acceptable. I was thinking that a "pocket" holster for my parka would both comply with the law and keep the gun accessible.

Deanimator Report post Posted July 24, 2010 Dean....I see you don't stitch along the trigger guard profile......just wondering why....? That was my first exercise in a form fitting holster. I couldn't afford to waste leather and I wasn't sure how it would work, so I left myself some leeway for adjustment via boning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
