NoahL Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Hello everyone, I just finished this Apocalyptic Survivor style Glock 19 holster, and it was my first thumb-break style! I have to say that getting the snap on there correctly was a PAIN! The steel thumb-break support was from JRM Clips, by the way--their e-mail form on the website doesn't seem to work, but they did get my direct e-mail and a buddy of mine had a nice long talk with them on the phone, and he and I have both ordered thumb-break supports and holster clips. I have to say that these things are the most well made ones I've seen, so if you guys are needing holster hardware you should check them out (and no, I didn't get paid to say that ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troop Report post Posted October 7, 2010 nice Noah, how much are the tabs and do they have a minumun order? Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoahL Report post Posted October 7, 2010 nice Noah, how much are the tabs and do they have a minumun order? Tony Tony, Thanks! The tabs were $0.10 a piece and there was no minimum order, but if you order too small of an amount they have you send a self-addressed/postage-paid padded envelope.

Aaron B Report post Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah, this look is pretty fantastic. I bet there would be a huge market for this in the 1911 community. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoahL Report post Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah, this look is pretty fantastic. I bet there would be a huge market for this in the 1911 community. Thanks! I actually already made a holster like this (without a thumb-break) for a 1911 and it was pretty well received Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRiverLeather Report post Posted October 21, 2010 I gotta say I really like the look of your "Apocalyptic" holsters.A nice way to use up blemished leather, too I checked out JRM Clips. Glad to see that you say they don't have a minimum order. The website says there is a 1,000 piece minimum order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkelf Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Very Unique holster, mind if I ask how you distressed it to achieve that look? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoahL Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Very Unique holster, mind if I ask how you distressed it to achieve that look? Thanks! I'm afraid that the process for that isn't something I'm willing to share in detail, but I certainly won't try to stop anyone from figuring it out--I used basic concepts of tooling and distressing to get the look, you just have to be creative in how you go about applying those concepts. I actually really like to see what other people come up with in an attempt to recreate what I've done, because it will usually be an entirely different process and the effect is unique for everyone. If you decide to give it a go, definitely share because I'd love to see what you come up with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
