marine mp Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Most excellent pieces, Josh. I like the ides of the two spacers sandwiched in between on the Askins-style. If you don't mind me axeing, hat are you using for the spacers and are the nuts sandwiched in between two pieces of leather??? Thanks.

Josh Ashman Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks Mike! the spacers are little chunks of fuel line. I cut them a little long and they compress together and put some tension on the screws. The T nuts are sandwiched on the back. I don't use a lot of T nuts but I'd read a post on here by some of the guys that do use them a lot and both sides of the "cover or don't cover" question were represented well. It seems to me like there are valid points on each side, I was fine to cover these up as they shouldn't be getting much playing around with. I did go ahead and clinch the points over as suggested by Tony Kanaley. Semper-fi (B Co. 1st Bn 3rd Mar) Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglestroker Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Josh, that's quite a unique paddle holster design. Nice work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marine mp Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Josh, Thanks for your service to our country. Also, thanks for the intel on the holster spacer and nuts. I would like to try a design similar to that with the spacers as it does make for a unique look and also does provide some "forgiveness" to the design if it was to tight. Would you allow me the permission to do so? Thanks again and Semper-fi Mike (C-Company, Mar. Bks, Phila. Naval Base, Cross-Country Chaser Unit 1974-1977., U.S. Army 210th M.P.

Josh Ashman Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks Robert! Mike, thank you for your service to our country as well! You're absolutely welcome to borrow anything that looks like it's working on my design. I saw an old Don Hume holster that was pretty much the same general idea and modified it according to what I thought would work. I only have one of these that's being used on a regular basis, it's been somebody's EDC holster for around 8 months and he sure likes it. The 2 pictured above are for buddies of his. Good luck, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
