Is THIS the sort of thing you're talking about, Mike?

Yeppers, that be the sort of thing I'm talking about....however, these are a bunch nicer than some that I've seen. There are a few out there that are really kind of nasty looking. Mike

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses.

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.

Thanks for the link, Big O.

Didn't know about this site until I saw some traffic hits on SiteMeter. Looks interesting...will have to carve out some time soon to poke around and peruse a bit.

Living in Florida I do not know how anyone would carry without a shield between the body and firearm...

I don't think they need to be some huge hunk of leather which extends all the way up for the hammer when carrying cocked and locked. Mine only go as high as the slide and or beaver tail and no further, though I do have it wide enough to extend to the top of the rear sight.

Working Leather Balm into the back side of the holster and then hitting it with Resolene 50/50 seems to do just fine at keeping the body salts off the firearm and the firearm from digging in.

I do notice there seems to be some who do make it so there is a huge flap of leather as a shield which is not cut in such a way that a person is not going to lock the weapon into the holster upon attempting to draw.

Seen it more than a few times with Revolver leather and quiet a bit with Pistol leather.

My brother carries a Sig 230 SS up front IWB and it shows that Body Salt does in fact have an impact even on high grade Stainless. Threw a deep cover together for him with a shield and he hasn't had an issue since.

No sir, he fell into that bullet

Still, I've had a 1911 stab me pretty good with the BTGS, so I started including them.

What does BTSG stand for?

I am new to modern weapons and holster making. My brother asked me to make a holster and belt for his Kimber Solo.

I am starting to make holsters for my own Colt 1851 Navy Cap and Ball revolvers.

Beaver Tail Grip Safety...which refers to the larger and more profiled grip safety seen on many of the newer platforms.
