Avenger holster question - reinforcement panel

[alpha2]

Looks like you really studied up on that one! Nice job.

You dont need a stiffener if you line the holster.  I never make unlined holsters.  

  You can see from the pictures how I did this one. It is a personal holster of mine. ( Sorry about the glare, the sun was coming in the window and both washing out parts of the picture while also creating shadows in other places)

 

I should mention this holster was based on a Slickbald customs pattern.

Thank you HBAR.  I might try something like that for my next attempt.

There are a couple of good reasons to put the reinforcing piece around the top.

-- It makes a rigid mouth which is essential for racking the slide one-handed

--  It enables you to put a steel band in the throat, which gives you adjustable tension

-- it simply looks good
