mlapaglia Report post 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 Report post Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks, I like it too. Tooling has its place but sometimes clean lines look really professional to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickybobby Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renegadelizard Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Damned well better NOT! I kind of like the glocks...they are very understated...kind of like soviet architecture...and who can argue the beauty of a place like Chernoble... Seriously though, i do find them to be among the best looking of the tupperware guns....now a baretta NEO...that is ugly....plain old fashioned bone deep ugly....the glocks just aint pretty...

Gotta agree that the Beretta NEOS pistol is a strange looking duck. Being brought up on classic Colt and S&W wheel guns and autos, NONE of the tupperware shooters are good looking, and many seem to have raised the barrel height above the hand to such a degree that they just don't appear right to me. But Glocks --- still be ugly. Mike Edited June 21, 2012 by katsass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
