PANCAKE HOLSTER FOR A BRICK

[RVM45]

Glocks have polymer frames. You can't Nickle the frame; nor can you put custom grips on it. It is a mass issue weapon for people who have not been taught to view their sidearm as a more perfect embodiment of the self...

i.e.--To them ; a Gun is just a gun...

This is a Soldier's; rather than a Warrior's Philosophy.

As Bruce said; it is a brick.

I always thought there should be a catch-all term for pistol-like objects that would be personal weapons--if only they'd been BRIGHT Nickeled (or bright chromed; blued; Golded; brass plated--anything SHINY--I'm fairly broadminded...)

I'm not a gun owner, and don't have a strong desire to be one, but I'll tell you what... if I DID go out and get one for some reason, I'd get the gun that best fit me, from the feel of it in my hand, to the look of it in a holster and while holding it, etc. I would not spend the money on something like that and NOT treat it like and extension of me. I remember seeing quite the display of handguns at a local sporting good store, Sportsmans Warehouse, I think. They had more guns than I imagined existed. It was like looking at a shoe store with so many styles. Not only could you get the style you liked best, but you could get them for different outfits, in case you were going to a dress ball, or a honky-tonk! ;-)

Beautiful work Bruce and another vote for keeping it natural.Most of my Glock holsters are black as well.And not to hijack this thread anymore than it already has been but, I personally love revolvers and carry a Glock 19. So does my wife.Glocks aren't made to be pretty just very functional and rock solid reliability.It also helps carrying 15 shots versus 6.Ok enough of that, back to Bruce, keep up the great work bud.Dave

Great job on the holster. I like the color as is, another vote nor "not black." I'd be happy carrying my brick in that anyday.

On the brick and rant on Glocks, my dad has a saying...

There is an ass for every seat and a seat for every ass. Basically something out there for whoever wants it.

Being a certified gun nut, I carried a Glock on duty for 7 years. Upon making detective I bought a Kimber. Loved it. Still have it.

I also have 4 Glocks. I have since left the Police Dept, but my EDC is a Glock 27. Why? Because it works, works well without fail.

Is it purty? Nope. Does it need a bunch of fluff to make it a real gun? Nope it'll kill a bad guy dead just as the Kimber will.

"It is a mass issue weapon for people who have not been taught to view their sidearm as a more perfect embodiment of the self..."

I guess I view my choice of sidearm as a practical self defense tool, more than I would a embodiment of the self. I doubt the bad guy would hold me in any higher regard starring down the barrel of a nickle plated, custom gripped show piece than my lead mosquito throwing brick.

Just sayin...

Allen,

I would agree. I have known a lot of warriors in my day. The vast majority of them are not concerned about how their sidearm looks, but rather how it functions. The understand that the sidearm is just a tool and that the real weapon is they themselves.

Bruce,

The holster is perfect as it is. I would be honored to carry one like it. Good work.

While I have never made a holster, I have learned so much from those of you who have. Thanks!
