Members Josh Ashman Posted January 13, 2017 Members Report Posted January 13, 2017 It's been a while since I posted anything and had a run of Glock holsters that I think turned out pretty well. All are clip on and all built out of 7/8 HO. The G21 is IWB for rightly. The pink G42 is OWB for a lefty and my first time trying to make a pink holster. The other G43 is IWB for a lefty. Have a great Friday and weekend folks. Quote
Members CaptQuirk Posted January 13, 2017 Members Report Posted January 13, 2017 Those are right pretty! I like to see some holsters with a little personality Quote

Members klaykrusher Posted January 13, 2017 Members Report Posted January 13, 2017 Very nice Josh! Wondering what type of finish you are using? Quote ~Dave
bikermutt07 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 Those look great. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members BHPshooter Posted January 30, 2017 Members Report Posted January 30, 2017 Looking good as always, Josh. How are you liking the tension devices? I have been toying around with trying them out. I bought most of the components, but haven't tried them yet. Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted January 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks Biker & Krusher! Finish is 50/50 water/Mop&Glo. The brown tones are Fiebings dye cut with alcohol and the pink is Angelous hot pink leather paint cut with alcohol. Next time I aim for pink I'm going to use oxblood dye cut heavily. I put a coat of black antique over the pink to highlight the carving. Thank you very much BHP! I'm just playing around with the tension screws as well. I've had personal holster loosen up enough after a few years of use that I'd tighten them up if I could, which was my intent with these. It's a new thing for me so I can't give a lot of feedback, but they are fairly easy to add it seems like they'd become useful as the holster gets more use. I can say that both of these holsters were plenty snug without any real tension on the screw, give the screw a few turns and you couldn't draw at all. Just in case anyone wondered, I picked up the stainless T-nuts and flat head screws from McMaster Carr. These are 8-32 and 3/4" long screws. 1" would have worked too, but they would have protruded slightly through the T nut. I have finishing washers on hand from my saddlery work but you can get them from McMaster as well. I am using hose from the auto parts store for the spacer, it's ID is probably between 3/16 and 1/4". I just went in and asked to look at their bulk hose in the back and got several feet of the sizes that looked like they'd work. All the best, Josh Quote
