katsass Report post Posted October 7, 2012 From the grump; CT, you've done a good job on this rig, and although I don't care much for edge coat, you did a nice job with it. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the same general design for all makes and draw each out separately and make modifications to the design as needed. I'm sure the stitch line and overall length would change though.

I hear ya. First time I've used it in a while. It has a tendency to lift at it's edges. But it turned out okay with some TLC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Looks great - with a Glock it's important to have the trigger guard well covered, well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SooperJake Report post Posted December 16, 2012 Nice rig...not sure how I missed it back in October. Few questions: How secure is that type of belt clip if you had to yank the shooter out in despiration? Also, was the Pro Water Stain Tan straight out of the bottle or diluted, and how was it applied? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Hey Jake. The clip is solid. It has great retention around the belt. Although, this was around a standard single layer belt. I haven't tried the clip around one of my double layer belts yet. I didn't go over board with molding the holster so the gun comes out very nice. It's been a while since the customer has had it and I was told last week that he loves it. The stain was straight out of the bottle. I sprayed an initial two coats with an airbrush and then applied another couple coats with a sponge. This has helped me get an even color with the browns.

renegadelizard Report post Posted December 17, 2012 Were on the same page here CT, ive made a ton of something similar for the guys I work with...somewhere around 40 of these...i willing to bet you have a bit more work into yours though...mine are pretty simple, but the inside out was a real big hit here... The guys at work are keeping me busy with these. Here's my latest for a Glock 26. I used Tandy Pro Waterstain Tan, gloss finish, and black edge coat.

SooperJake Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Are you putting two slots in for the clip or one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Are you putting two slots in for the clip or one? Just one for that style clip. Punched a 7/8" slot at the top and a small hole at the bottom. Once the stitching was done I slid in the clip with the female end of a double cap rivet. Lined the holes up and tapped in the male end of the rivet to secure. Tandy Holster Cip Edited December 19, 2012 by CountryTrash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tandy Holster Cip Interesting, I normally rivet the clip before I sew the piece on and just use my center presser foot on that section. Its not much wider than the needle and goes by the clip like magic. This way I get the whole thing glued down. I can see a few places where your way would be helpful.

malabar Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Nice. Very clean design. Is the leather drum-dyed? Where do you get it? tk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Nice. Very clean design. Is the leather drum-dyed? Where do you get it? tk Thanks. The leather is not drum dyed. It is Hermann Oak B-grade 6/7oz and dyed with Tandy's Pro Water Stain. I purchase my leather from Springfield Leather Co. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael (Great looking rig BTW) Thanks Michael. I initially riveted and then sewed, but the cover piece wound up having to be wider than I wanted. Although I was sewing with the left and center presser feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
