Members Day Dreamer Posted August 1, 2014 Members Report Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Chief, I'm a n00b to leather work. I want to start making my own holsters and a belt or two. I hope I can get to where the quality of my work is as good as yours. It's a beautiful holster. Since I'm a n00b I'm not qualified to critique anyone's leather craftmanship, but if the holster was mine I'd have a conern with it, not as a leather guy, but as a Glock guy (I have a 21 and a 26). Because of how Glock's "Safe Action" trigger works, it's important for the holster to cover the trigger guard. My concern is you covered the trigger guard too much. It looks like the edge of the holster is pushing on the mag release. When you holster the pistol, it could push in the mag release button and cause the mag to release. When you draw to fire, the first round will fire, but the second round could misfire or the recoil from first round could cause the magazine to drop out. Just my 2 cents as a Glock owner. Again, awesome craftsmenship. I hope I can get there some day. Quote

The magazine release is designed so that the release must be depressed beyond the plane of the pistol grip, like a thumb curling around the grip and pressing. I checked it because of your concern and can get the holster to put any pressure on the release and I can't force it even with direct pressure to press the release beyond the plane of the pistol grip.
