Members Shooter McGavin Posted May 15, 2012 Members Report Posted May 15, 2012 Got a request today from a fell who is looking for a holster for his 1911. I'm going to pass on it but before I let him know I figured I'd see if anyone here wanted to have a go at it. If so I will pass your info along to him. Firearm: Taurus PT1911AR in .38 Super, with Laserlyte V-3 Laser mounted on rail. Holster specifics: Mahogany leather, RH, 20 degree cant, small of back, inside-the-waistband, tuckable, spring steel belt clip(s), thumb break, grip down. Let me know if you are interested.

Members chiefjason Posted May 16, 2012 Members Report Posted May 16, 2012 Does he want a puzzle or a holster? Good grief. Quote
Members Dwight Posted May 16, 2012 Members Report Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I couldn't tell, . . . did he order pepperoni or anchovies? Thanks, . . . but no thanks, . . . I did one of those for a friend with his Colt full size 100th anniversary edition, . . . rail, . . . lazerlyte, . . . We never could get the lazerlyte to "zero". He traded it off, . . . then I made him a pancake for his Colt, . . . he loves it. May God bless, Dwight Edited May 16, 2012 by Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

I'm not a holster maker by any means but in reading this something strikes me as odd and not very user friendly: small of back...inside-the-waistband...grip down. Now, I'm trying to envision this and it would seem to me that these three things make this the most unusable holster imaginable. If I'm reading this correctly, he basically wants to have to dig into his butt crack to grab his weapon? Not to mention in the case of an accidental discharge he could potentially head shot the person next to him. Please educate me as something seems amiss (but a funny visual at the same time - not the head shot, the first part). Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com
Members chiefjason Posted May 16, 2012 Members Report Posted May 16, 2012 I'm not a holster maker by any means but in reading this something strikes me as odd and not very user friendly: Mag well towards the floor, but probably normal cant. Not barrel up. It's a palm out draw as opposed to a palm in. I still think IWB would interfere with a good draw though. Quote

The reason that I would pass is...Mostly, the liability of the grip down draw causing the muzzle to sweep the body during the draw... And to a lesser, a small of the back holster causing back injury during a fall. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted May 17, 2012 Author Members Report Posted May 17, 2012 My reasons for passing are mainly, and in no particular order, 1: the SOB, which I currently do not offer as a standard item 2: the grip down draw, which forces people to muzzle themselves during the draw and presentation 3: thumb break on an IWB 4: spring steel clips Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
