mlapaglia Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Looks good. Personally Id add another stitch line along the trigger guard. Looks like you have too much room between the trigger guard and the current line of stitching. Never found anything wrong with a Glock until I picked up my first Sig. Now Im spoiled.

Looks like you have too much room between the trigger guard and the current line of stitching. Never found anything wrong with a Glock until I picked up my first Sig. Now Im spoiled. Ive carried a sig on duty now for the last 12 years, and they are wonderful guns, but id rather carry my glock off duty, if for no other reason than its sits differently and rubs in different places, relieving the hot spots caused by the sig...in reality, both of the guns i wear the most are too big for concealed carry of any sort, but my choice in the matter is limited by policy..so i make the best out of what i have to work with i couldnt get another stitch line in there spaced consistantly due to the steep angle of the pistol and the rail section, i was debating putting one on the outside of the current one Quote Havoc Holsters
Members Haystacker Posted January 31, 2013 Members Report Posted January 31, 2013 The only thing you can do to make a glock look good is make a good looking holster for it. Nice job. (I am a glock fan) Quote haysholsters@hotmail.com NRA Life Member
Members renegadelizard Posted February 1, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 1, 2013 You know, a glock is kinda like a washed up stripper...not real easy on the eyes, but they sure do know how to work it..lol.. Quote Havoc Holsters
Members Big O Posted February 2, 2013 Members Report Posted February 2, 2013 I've taken to using the measurement of the trigger guard, rather than the slide, to determine the placement of the stitch line along the bottom of the trigger guard. That's for pancake designs. For wraparound designs like the Avenger, I split the difference between the two measurements. I've only recently come to love the Glock. I've always respected them. I stippled both of mine. The first one was my former duty gun, which I bought and then immediately ground off the alien finger grooves which I hated so.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 2, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 2, 2013 Lizard, your last comment is perhaps the best description I've ever heard of Glocks!!! Hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna HAVE to steal it. Nice looking holster, too, Remember the basic guidelines for stitch line placement: half the width (in that area) plus the weight of leather. You may have to tweak a little, depending on the hide, but that will always get you close *for pancake holsters*.

Members renegadelizard Posted February 4, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 4, 2013 Big O, you hit it...thats what i had to do...once i figured it out, it made sense, dealing with x and y axis and a bunch of other random trigonometry just made my head hurt..lol.. TO, feel free to steal it...just dont let the significant other hear you say it, or you will have to explain how you know so much about washed out strippers like i did..lol Quote Havoc Holsters
