Members Matt Alsaker Posted May 5, 2012 Author Members Report Posted May 5, 2012 Took Shooters advise...played around with the thumb break...and had the friend who I'm making it for give me his thoughts...here's what I came up with. I moved the snap lower (I'm going to have to get some pieces of stainless steel to reinforce the thumb break on the back side) and designed the strap so I could mold it over both the left and right safety. My friend is going to have a couple other guys wear test this one to get me some additional feedback. The thumb breaks are sure a pain. The entire holster was supposed to be the nice dark brown color the back plate is. I used a high density sponge. The holster body did not dye as nicely, so I let it dry then went over it with black. This weird almost mahogany under tone came out, which looked kind of cool. Until I wet the gun to mold it then the color developed this effect that looks like cracking. I am use Fiebing's Pro Oil Dye. I'm going to stick with black for now until I can practice getting the dye on more evenly.
