mlapaglia Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I had a request to make this one shiny. Im not fun of shiny but I wasn't making it for me 8/9 HO Vinegroon, Stitched with my Tippman Boss. 1 coat neatsfoot oil, 1 coat Leather balm and atom wax and 2 coats 50/50 water and resolene for that desired shine. This one went together with no problems for once. It's a variation of the tuckable version I did last week. I was happy with it and so was the customer.

mlapaglia Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks, I like it too. Tooling has its place but sometimes clean lines look really professional to me. Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee

You --- and your customer should be very happy, BUT, somehow I feel that 'elegant' and 'Glock' together in the same sentence is an oxymoron -- Glocks IMO just be ugly.shooters. I carried a Glock 21 for a number of years --- but they still be ugly. LOL Mike Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!!

rickybobby Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Nice work! It's great when the planets line up and a holster goes out of the shop without turning into scrap leather! lol!! Very nice design. The title says it all! Simple and Elegant. Quote Rick

I do not allow my Son's Glocks to contaminate my S&W's. It is a matter of principle and I bought the safe I agree they have issues when it comes to looks. Its hard to beat classic elegance of a 1952 Pre-27 357 with a 5" barrel. Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee
