Members katsass Posted May 26, 2014 Members Report Posted May 26, 2014 From the grumpy old guy; this is the first thing I have tossed together in quite a while, but the customer talked me into giving it a go, even after I told him I may have mostly forgotten how to do this sort of work. He had to wait a bit for it, but ended up happy. Mike Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!! At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.

Members Dwight Posted May 26, 2014 Members Report Posted May 26, 2014 Yessir, . . . good looking work, . . . always like to see something different for the 1911, . . . and that one is one.

Members vaalpens Posted May 26, 2014 Members Report Posted May 26, 2014 Great design! I especially like the business end of the 1911 sticking out like that. What is the top piece of lanyard or rattle hanging out? Does that symbolize a rattle snake? Quote
Members katsass Posted May 26, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) vaalpens, that is the tail-end of a lanyard loop which can prevent accidental discharge when carrying cocked & locked but also will provide security when carried in (a foolish) alternate manner. That end is tugged to tighten the loop over the hammer. The four little wooden beads act a a bit of weight to allow the lanyard to hang vertically along the front of the holster.

Mike Mike, thanks for the explanation. I have so much to learn about holster design, and there is no better place to learn than this forum. Quote
