Members gregintenn Posted December 22, 2011 Members Report Posted December 22, 2011 Nope, no problems when making holsters for Glocks....And Greg, I disagree with you about this statement :" It is impossible to make anything that isn't ugly for them." Yep...I said that wrong...it is impossible for me to make anything that isn't ugly for them. Sorry if I offended you. Quote

Sorry if I offended you. hahahaha i don't really care for the Glocks either and don't think they make good looking holsters, but it is what our department has now adopted for our duty guns. i have designed a pretty decent looking holster but they obviously just need a stronger breaking in period.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 23, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted December 23, 2011 No offense taken at all, apologies if it sounded that way. I just think that the right leather can make just about ANY gun look good. You just have to adjust the holster design to HIDE THE PISTOL!!!! Hmmm...perhaps the exception is a Hi-point. Yeah, that would take a fully enclosed pouch with maybe some of Bob Park's tooling on it.

Members glockanator Posted December 23, 2011 Members Report Posted December 23, 2011 I have been looking for a pancake hoster pattern for a glock cant seem to find one or make one myself that I like! Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 23, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted December 23, 2011 After thinking on it a bit....one of the issues with making Glock holsters is the effort to make a holster with 'fluid' lines for a gun with square lines. Most holsters have a certain grace to them- the lines flow from one to another and we make an effort to eliminate sharp corners that could snag or get dog eared. The Glock platform is mostly square (except for the grip angle), and it's a competition between the two visual aspects as to which is more prevalent in the design.

Members troop Posted December 23, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 23, 2011 this is the pattern i've been using for several months now for the glock. it's about as good as i can make it look without over doing it. Tony Quote The hand that feeds you also puts the chains around your neck.
Members Guapo Posted December 23, 2011 Members Report Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Morning Tony, I don't see the pattern, maybe it's just me. My dept uses Glocks and has for many years. I hated to switch over from my mdl 19 Smith but have come to love my Glock. I'm just geting into holster making. I would like to see your pattern. Guapo Edited December 23, 2011 by Guapo Quote
