rickybobby Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Bruce, Nice job! I have promised a holster for a friend, he has a model 27 (compact .40 cal) I thought that my model 17 (9mm) might work for moulding/shaping. What do you think? The detail you have is nice, looks like a perfect fit. Always enjoy seeing your work. Rick J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruceGibson Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Thank you, Rick. You're out there in Cody & Jim Bob Custer country! I'm not sure on the G17 versus G27 architecture. The 27's a compact, but the important parts may be the same. Or, close enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Srigs Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Nice work Bruce. What top coat did you use for the matte finish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaG35 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 That is nice Bruce. As far as using the 17 to mold for a 27, it will work, as the frame is the same size except the barrel and grip are considerably shorter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shorts Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Take a look at the frame area between the trigger guard and dust cover. That looks like an area to be concerned with. Of course with leather, you can make the big object fit into the smaller space, but...ehhh, not preferred. Akso if you use the G17 to mold but it'll be long in the muzzle. What you will end up is, even if the leather is the right length for the G17, there will be no taper on the end of the leather/muzzle. I've tried the same thing with 1911s, using a Commander to mold for an Officers (4.25 for a 3.5). It made a usable holster, but it wasn't up to par on my expectations for fit and finish.

mwtn Report post Posted August 23, 2008 I don't think the subcompact glock has a light rail. Nice job on the holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickybobby Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks for the information, My G17 must be a older model, it does not have the light rails like the newer ones. I will try using it for the moulding / forming and will note the barrel and grip lengths. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear Jim Bob is a scream. All the stories are true about him! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
