That is a very nice holster. All hand stitched? Did you make up the pattern yourself?

Rohn,

It is all hand stitched and I made the pattern. I call it a "modified" Avenger, because it doesn't use a stiffener. I don't use blue guns or patterns, I require that the weapon be left with me for 3-5 days, that limits my customer base to locals (~150 Mile radius), but I still stay pretty busy. I made avengers with stiffeners as well, but I kind of like this one.

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.

Thanks for the comments, it has no strain on the magazine release. 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. Thanks,

Chief
