Members Matt Alsaker Posted July 13, 2012 Members Report Posted July 13, 2012 I picked up a Badger 155 Anthem airbrush. I did a few practice runs on scrap cardboard and then gave it a shot on a holster. Feedback would be appreciated...

Members Southernbeau Posted July 13, 2012 Members Report Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) I think that looks great. Not just the airbrush job but the holster overall. I would be proud of as job like that and I would be super pumped to have that finished product on a first attempt. Have you done any airbrush work before? How was the 155 as far as ease to dial in etc...

Are you allowing the muzzle to protrude past the holster or just using the full-size to form for the compact? Quote

I'm not sure what to think of the airbrush since I've never used one before. I short stroked it a couple times and I think I was holding it to far away from the leather sometimes. I'm really happy with the 155, I just need to work more on technique. Quote http://www.alsakercustomleather.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AlsakerCustomLeather?ref=hl

Are you allowing the muzzle to protrude past the holster or just using the full-size to form for the compact? With this holster the Glock 17's muzzle protrudes beyond the end of the holster. The Glock 19 sits right at the bottom of the holster body. I haven't had anyone request that I extend the body down to cover the muzzle, but I have cut a few shorter for the Glock 26. I wear a 17 almost daily in this same model holster. Quote http://www.alsakercustomleather.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AlsakerCustomLeather?ref=hl
Members katsass Posted July 13, 2012 Members Report Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) From the grump; Matt you did a fine job, not only with the airbrush, but the entire rig. I personally dislike the exposed muzzle, but that's a personal thing and not a reflection on your workmanship. My only negative comment would be that the mag release is covered, and generally that ain't too good of a thing.

The back plate has a curve in it so the magazine release is accessible and so you can easily grip the firearm. The first few holsters I made in this style were cut straight across the back plate, which made the firearm difficult to grip and covered the magazine release.
