bennadatto Report post Posted August 20, 2010 All, I can't for the life of me figure out what is being used to keep the open back of this holster rigid so that the pistol doesn't fall out. I'm attaching a picture below in hopes that someone knows how to achieve this open back look. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gary Report post Posted August 21, 2010 I carried a 9mm Browning in one for a while though my issued holster had no strap at the top of the spring steel mouth. The only problem I found was returning the weapon - you had to put the muzzle in first and make sure it was firmly in place before pivoting the remainder of the weapon through the spring steel gap. If you were in a hurry and shoved the weapon in from nearer the top it would push the slide part way back and chamber a round or it would cause a misfeed and jam when you did draw it. A slightly weaker spring with the retaining strap would probably have cured that problem. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
