Txgunrunner,

I don't see why you couldn't use Chicago screws. They come in handy in a lot of uses. If it's a permanent use, put a dot of red Loc-tite on the post and its there forever. Semper-fi Mike

I have someone wanting a leather holster with a paddle as well but dont know where to obtain the paddel from. Im tinkering with the idea of making a wooden form and and using boiled leather to form the paddle. That stuff gets as hard as a rock when you get it hot enough. I ruined a nice holster to discover that

FWIW, . . . I contacted Galco a couple years ago, . . . wanted to make myself another paddle, . . . their rep said they would sell me their plastic part for ten or twelve bucks. I thought about it, . . . decided against it.

You may want to contact them.

Stay away from the $20 jobs you find at cheap gun stores, gun shows, and flea markets. They break at the drop of a flea's hat.

May God bless,

Dwight

after not being able to find all that stuff myself i started making my own paddle systems using kydex, t-nuts, screws and washers. comes out really comfortable, and sturdy. the pics of some older styles i have done. instead of the squared off bulky looking stops you see on these paddles i now use a smaller, lower profile round cut (halk inch round punch piece) secured with a rivet. it is much cleaner looking.

Any concern on your part in regards to the heavy molding behind the trigger? Looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

how do you mean?

Ya I noticed it too but didnt say anything, being a noob and all.

But ya, it appears that the trigger would almost be actuated while inserting a gun into the holster you have pictured. Because of the molding behind the trigger, the "path" for the trigger is actually narrower than the trigger itself.
