Members OLDNSLOW Posted November 23, 2016 Members Report Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Has anyone done a holster for a Glock 40 yet? I looked around for the mold gun and it didn't seem as though there was not a blue gun for it yet or maybe the vendors haven't had much call yet? Let me know what Y'all might have. thanks Ron I am gonna cross post this as well. Edited November 23, 2016 by OLDNSLOW cross post Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 24, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 24, 2016 What's the shipping look like over there? I hesitate to sign up for yet another site, but there's one I want, provided I'm not going to find out the shipping is $10+ ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

I use http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/index.php?cPath=41_585 Very similar looking website so I wonder if they are one and the same but I just received a 686 mold and a Beretta 92 mold and shipping was about 10 bucks for the single package with both molds. Pretty sure it was 10.60. Don't quote me but I believe when I had ordered a single mold a bit ago the shipping was about $7. Just be sure to go to their shipping choices section. They have one called "smart post" where fed ex drops to the post office and the post office delivers to your mailbox. I think its the cheapest option and I got my stuff in under a week. Most of their blue guns are around $42 which is the cheapest I have found. I really dont like the MultiMold brand molds but they do offer a bunch that blue gun doesnt offer.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 25, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) That works.. thanks That's only $2 over "dealer" price, and without the minimum order.

Members OLDNSLOW Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 ya I think I looked at knife kits and they had one of the kydex type molds in the 40, that site and 1 other do look the same. I have several of the kydex mold guns and have ordered from one of those 2 sites or both just don't recall. If the mold is one of the green molds it is a little better than the orange ones. I would like a rings as they are nicer but will settle for the knife kits if I am going to make the holster as I would prefer to save a few bucks. Quote

Aguycould maybe get the 45 into teh holster made for the 9, but that holster wouldn't work for the 9 any more Oh, yeah -- plus the 45 gonna stick out the bottom 3/4" or so ..

Boriqua Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Dont know if Jeff is going to want to take credit for this one but ... Based on his 1911 avenger pattern. I use a sewn in Sight channel so I didnt want to use the large wrap around piece but just a throat support. Jeff's Pattern has both. I beefed it up some and I made the back a little wider. It serves to really stiffen the holster. I have used the same throat/belt strap setup on a few other avenger style holsters and it works really well. Absolutely no bounce and little stretch. As always Jeff's patterns are mechanically economical in leather usage and his stitch lines would take me 80 tries to get as close as his. THANKS JEFF!!! First time trying this pattern so I didnt invest the time in the dye I usually do. Quote
Members OLDNSLOW Posted January 6, 2017 Members Report Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) This one is from the patterns that Jeff JLF kindly provides all those wanting learn and grow without having to reinvent the wheel, one of the holsters I did have to modify the stitch lines and pattern by extending them about a 1/4 inch all the way around and move the stitch line to accommodate a CZ pistol that has a completely different trigger guard over a 45 ACP. The holster sill more work to be done to be completed, this is just an example of how to take the original and move and change this just a bit to work with other models that might come along.

Members OLDNSLOW Posted January 6, 2017 Members Report Posted January 6, 2017 Here are 4 more that all started of with some of JLF's base patterns then modified to in one case fit a gun with a laser. Quote

You coulda used teh "wrap around piece" with the stitched channel - just gotta think the order of operations (I know you likely already did , I'm saying that for the next reader). Lookin' good all over, fellas --- this is the point of those patterns... add yer own style... just a starting point! Now, I gotta catch a mail man and decide how I feel about being called "mechanically economical), which sounds a tad like 'anatomically sparse" Oh,..checkn' later, but how wide did you make the site channel strips?
