Members renegadelizard Posted January 30, 2013 Members Report Posted January 30, 2013 Hey all, I finally found time to work on something for me..we all know the cobblers kids go barefoot, but mine are finally clad...ive been hating on my glock alot here lately, it seems that every design ive seen was just ugly...then i saw Shooter Mcgavins glock overkill holster and learned that you can make a good looking glock rig...so i set about collecting my thoughts and looking at different leathers and colors...i finally came up with this, and after a long battle with math, geometry, and other math that i still dont fully understand, i finally got the stitchline right...the dark panel is shark, the light panel is elephant, i lined it with cow and the outer back panel is horse...i like it...i finished it with a coat of angelus 600 ....the only thing im not 100% on at this time is the single stitch line at the trigger guard...not sure if i want to leave it that way or add another line..

Members chiefjason Posted January 30, 2013 Members Report Posted January 30, 2013 Nice. Glock trigger guards are hateful things. Nice stipple job too. Did you do that? Quote

Members dougb Posted January 31, 2013 Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 Beautiful holster. A shame to wrap it around a Glock. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 31, 2013 Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 I like Glock holsters Nice Job. I particularly like the double row of stitching where the hides meet in the middle. Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members renegadelizard Posted January 31, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 Nice. Glock trigger guards are hateful things. Nice stipple job too. Did you do that? Yeah, i love the glock's, all except the grip area...the finger grooves had to go and the grip isnt aggressive enough, so a few hours with a bent soldering iron to reshape and stipple it..one of my hobbies, or it was when i had play money, is gunsmithing...i still build the occasional ar or 1911, but the days of sinking 2500 into a rifle build are sadly over, so now i just try to improve upon what i have in the most cost effective manner possible... Looks good, Lizard. Thanks Jake... Quote Havoc Holsters
Members renegadelizard Posted January 31, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 Beautiful holster. A shame to wrap it around a Glock. dont be a hater..lol...they go bang each time i pull the trigger, eat anything i put into it, dont comp;lain when i forget to clean it, it never rusts, and holds 14 rounds of 357 sig wholesomeness...what is not to like?

Thanks Shooter...i saw it on your overkill holster and thought, that looks cool, im gonna have to start incorporating that...i probably should have done the trigger guard area the same way, but t be honest, when i sewed it up, i didnt know how well the placement was going to be and didnt want to have to cut 2 stichlines...i may add it in here in a few days, but im already behind again and i still havent got to do any reloading yet...to few hours in a day...

Contributing Member SooperJake Posted January 31, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted January 31, 2013 Looks like the stippling vs. checkering has become factory standard on at least one manufacturer's model .Here is the new G2 Millenium from Taurus http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=872&category=Pistol&breadcrumbseries=&search= Quote Once you know what the magician know.... it isn't magic anymore.
Members renegadelizard Posted January 31, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 they got the right idea, but the need to cover the entire grip with it instead of trying to make it look all artst fartsy...gun designers need to stop watching martha stewart and pop in a few old john wayne classics...
