steelhawk Report post Posted November 20, 2015 A customer brought in his gun, fitted with a tactical light. He brought in his old holster as well, made by Don Hume. It looks to be made from 3/4 oz leather glued together, then two pieces of that laminate are glued up to make the holster body, four pieces in total. The thumb break strap has more flexibility than the ones I make. I currently use resolene as a finish. I like the flexibility of the strap, as it helps to avoids wrinkle lines, but don't know how to achieve that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakotawolf Report post Posted November 20, 2015 I'm kind of having a hard time visualizing what you're describing on the Don Hume. Maybe a pic or two of it. The strap that goes over the gun on my thumb breaks is molded into position over the gun. This stiffens it up (like the rest of the holster stiffens after molding). Mine are minimally flexible, I think that helps the strap to find it's "home" when the gun is holstered, letting the two sides of the snap find each other quickly. Since mine are molded in position, the wrinkles only appear if the strap is straightened out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelhawk Report post Posted November 20, 2015 I make mine the same way. I first thought the other holster was lined, but it technically isn't since both pieces of each side are the same thickness of leather. It makes a smooth side finish to the interior of the holster. Katsass here on the board makes his the same way, but he uses thicker leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
