Members Billy Hell Posted October 21, 2015 Members Report Posted October 21, 2015 I made a paddle OWB holster for my friends .45 Glock. The problem was he lives in Ohio. I finished the holster and sent it to him. We jumped on Google Hangout and I explained how to bag the gun, wet the leather and form it. Turned out great!! Big thanks to JLS for the pattern and helping me learn to tool! http://www.jlsleather.com/ Quote

Members RVM45 Posted October 23, 2015 Members Report Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Friend, That is a fine holster. I question why someone will buy a Polymer Framed, Boxy and Ugly Pistol and then invest in a Fine Holster to carry the GLOB*in. Kinda like putting a Silk Dress and a nice String of Pearls on a Pig... …..RVM45 *Gun Like OBject Edited October 23, 2015 by RVM45 Quote

As far as I am concerned you could carry a hi point or a raven 25 auto as long as you are exercising your 2A rights. Its up to you if you want to be an internet outlaw and belittle other people but I think its uncapped for. Quote
Members byggyns Posted October 29, 2015 Members Report Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Seriously, RVM45, is this the year 1990, and I missed it? Nearly every major handgun manufacturer has copied in some way the technology Glock pioneered: the trigger safety, the striker firing, or the polymer frame. Here's a list of some of the manufacturers that have copied one or more of those innovations: Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, H&K, Springfield Armory, Taurus, FN / Browning, Beretta, Ruger, CZ Even Kimber copied the striker firing mechanism for the Solo- they sill haven't made anything polymer framed yet. The only real argument against the Glock is that it is an ugly box shape. Possibly, you can argue that on some, the grip is uncomfortable and too square or large- which they have really remedied in the Gen 4. Calling the Glock a gun like object means that you consider the other highest selling models on the market for the past 10-15 years to be not guns either. If you are that stuck in the past, why are you even on the internet? Edited October 29, 2015 by byggyns Quote

Members glockanator Posted October 30, 2015 Members Report Posted October 30, 2015 That came out great. Quote
Members dakotawolf Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Holster looks good, and that was an innovative way to solve the forming issue. I've made a holster from JLS's patterns, and I've made many patterns myself. It was a nice break to make a holster from pattern & have the stitch lines be spot on the first try. Just one small thing: you referred to the holster as a "paddle". Perhaps you meant pancake? I'm not trying to be overly critical, just want to help you understand there is difference. Quote
Members Billy Hell Posted October 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Ahhh, yes, my bad - pancake. Quote
Members dakotawolf Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 I should have been able to tell you knew the difference from your high skill level. Quote
