First Airbrushing Attempt

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.

Matt I am with Katass on the protruding muzzle situation and not only theoretically but from experience. A couple years ago I was splitting wood with my trusty gen2 g22 on my side in a belt slide style holster(granted this exposes more of the gun then your design) and carelessly stepped backwards onto a piece of split wood. This caused me to fall backwards and break my a$, although I was much more pained by the ruthless gouges that the gravel left in my previously unmarred old glock:(

Mike....here's a photo of the back. 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.

ALRIGHT Matt, that's enough!!. With that back side view you take one of the little pleasures of an old grump away from him --- nothing else to gripe about. Good work. Mike

I've only been a member on this forum since February. I've read a ton of your posts. So you and all the other leather craftsmen who are willing to share your knowledge with the rest of us get the credit any of the work I've done. I read stuff on here almost daily and learn new things or different ways. So...thanks for all your prior and future informative posts.

Matt that is really a nice holster on all points

That is a really nice holster, carving, airbrushing, general design & stitching look great. I really like the "sunburst" style finish. I love seeing the work on this forum ... I really inspires me to try new designs, etc.
