Denster Report post Posted December 22, 2011 That of course begs the question. For what purpose? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to make a holster that i can wear on right of left side, and would be able to use right hand for unfastening when worn on right and left hand when worn on left side...

I suppose you could use a pull through snap design as that has no dexterity. You might want to consider making it from nylon instead of leather as leather will conform to nthe curvature of the body.

Denster Report post Posted December 23, 2011 Do you have picture of a "pull through snap design"? Sorry I do not. Essentialy it is just a line 24 snap. The front and back snap areas of the holster meet over the part of the weapon covered and close on the centerline of the weapon. When the weapon is drawn it wedges between the two parts and separates the snap. Alessi used to use this design but I think the only place it is used now is Ken Null uses it on his city slicker shoulder holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did a search and saw both of those, I think I may try that... Edited December 23, 2011 by itr674 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
