Members jstar61 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 My first attempt at a holster. Made some mistakes, but overall I think the pattern worked well and the retention is good so I'm pleased with my first attempt. 7/8 oz. Herman Oak, Tiger thread, Eco-flo gel antigue. Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Just a word of caution, . . . be careful about molding the trigger guard real deep on striker fired weapons. That trigger can move very quickly with very little pressure, . . . and of course you understand the effects of that happening. But, . . . otherwise, . . . it certainly is a ton better than my first one. May God bless, Dwight PS: I still have it, . . . but NOBODY sees it. Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members pros23 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 It's much better than my first as well. Keep going. You're doing great. Quote pros23 http://www.facebook.com/PJROnlineEnterprisesInc

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 26, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Tough to tell from your picture... is that a model 19, or the 27?

Members snubbyfan Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Very nice for a first holster. Much better than my first pathetic attempt. That's either a 26 or a 27. The 19 has a three finger grip. Quote Keep on Chooglin'Check out my YouTube Channel, comment and subscribe for updateshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA
Members jstar61 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks everyone. It's a 26. I checked the molding at the trigger guard, and it's not as deep as it looks in the pic. I tried and couldn't make it even catch on the trigger when pressing in on it. Quote
Members stu925 Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Looks great, I like the color. Stu Quote

Members Tramps Leatherworking Posted February 27, 2015 Members Report Posted February 27, 2015 Not bad, I'm sure you learned a lot from the experience, and your next holster will be better for it, enjoy the ride! Quote ~Tramp~ Experientia magistra stultorum --- (Experience is the teacher of fools)
