Members JoelR Posted September 20, 2011 Members Report Posted September 20, 2011 Good looks as usual shooter. Haven't played with Ostrich leg yet but the more I see it the more I like it. For thread, try The Thread Exchange (www.thethreadexchange.com). Good prices and reasonable shipping plus they tell you who the manufacturer if the thread you are buying is. Clearance section can garner some good deals as well - just picked up a 32oz spool of bonded white Nylon in 554 for $13.

Members jlaudio29 Posted September 20, 2011 Members Report Posted September 20, 2011 looking good sir. love the ostrich leg, what supplier are you using for that? Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted September 20, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 20, 2011 Thank you to both of you that pointed me towards The Thread Exchange. BEARDOG: You nailed it. The holster trim has a piece of 3-4 oz behind it, and the mag carrier is put right onto the front piece of leather. It's sanded and burnished nicely with the veg-tan backing, not so much without it. But it's so thin and the piece on the mag carrier is so small it's barely noticeable. Shark and elephant both burnish rather nicely. I use power tools to speed the process though. jlaudio: I picked up the ostrich leg from Springfield Leather. It was originally cognac in color, but I dyed it black. katsass: I usually do contrasting colors as well, but thought that this would be better all black with the white stitching.

Members katsass Posted September 20, 2011 Members Report Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Wish we had the ability to HAVE open carry BBQs here in Kalifornia. It could do my income some good. It's possible that way up north, in the rural counties where folks are real, that there might be one or two now and then, held very quietly, but generally speaking, in a state where open carry with an unloaded gun is actually legal, to even think about such a shindig would likely produce a raid by local and State law enforcement (and at least 700 members of the press) ...... and all participants would end in the damned hoosegow! No one might be charged, but the do-gooders with stars in their eyes, along with the biased press would have a field day, lasting at least a week. I have a few ideas bouncing around in my mostly vacant punkin, but until I have call for any of that sort of work, my stuff stays pretty plain and basically utilitarian Mike Edited September 20, 2011 by katsass Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!! 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.
Members Haystacker Posted September 22, 2011 Members Report Posted September 22, 2011 Shooter, That is one of the best glock holsters I have seen. I think glocks are great pistols but are very ugly. That holster really compliments a good gun. Quote haysholsters@hotmail.com NRA Life Member
