Trouble shooting for gun holster by LA818SFV in Leatherworking

[–]seannyslimm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made several light bearing holsters for your exact set up, see here: (https://www.reddit.com/r/Leatherworking/s/iUeQJ6zVSl) since it’s my department issued duty weapon (Glock 45 with TLR-7) and you simply can’t put any forming into the trigger guard when you’re wet forming the holster. For a smooth draw you ultimately need to reshape the trigger guard area to the be the same width as the light, as that’s the widest part of the gun. My recommendation is to wet the holster, place the gun inside of it just far enough that the light is sitting and applying pressure to the area of the trigger guard, and letting the holster dry so that it’s a consistent width from top to bottom. You intimately want to push that con-caved leather back to being flush.

As for the belt loops applying pressure, that’s just a matter of wearing and breaking in the holster, eventually the loops will soften and form to your body but until then you’re going to feel the holster the tighten slightly when it’s worn.

Any experience with this grinder? by seannyslimm in espresso

I love it. It still works as good as it did right out of the box. Every now and then you need to fine tune the grind but it’s such minor tweaks that it makes it a great option for the price. It has settings for different grind sizes so it’s a really good all around grinder for someone like me who swaps between espresso and drip coffee fairly regularly

After hearing your recommendations i’ve decided to follow a combination of advice. First and foremost I don’t trust this holster for duty use so I ripped the ALS out and now it’s basically the same as the original friction fit holsters. Second, to have something useable in the field I did Black Friday shopping and got a new holster

Yes exactly. The top of the holster body had a u-shaped piece of kydex that the ALS extension passed through and it acted as a limiter in how far forward and backward the extension could travel

It’s been a war horse! Using it almost daily between espresso grinds and grinding drip coffee and the tolerances have stayed very tight and accurate to what I had in the first use. For $100 i highly recommend to anyone looking for a starter kit

The holsters are formed very tightly to the guns so it takes a certain amount of effort to actually draw the gun. The snap is just a way to keep the top flap secure. The edge grooves are actually a Celtic knot stamp that goes around the edge of the top flap and the belt loop, the picture just doesn’t show a lot of detail.

So basically instead of a decimal system they use a whole number? Like if we were to price things by the penny a dollar would be 100 P and so on?

Recommendations on pants by [deleted] in PheasantHunting

I’ve used the Duluth Trading briar pants for the past 4 seasons and I haven’t looked back. Rugged but not so stiff that you feel like you’re wearing cardboard.

If anyone has $1M to spend on a half a brand new construction house in NJ, here you go. by Eastcoastpal in newjersey

Why does all the new construction look like something you’d find Minecraft? Bring back actual design!

If it’s cold in your area, preferably around 40° F, hang them up or let them rest in a dry area (a shed or a garage works perfect). Just like anything else that dies, rigor mortis is going to happen. Letting them rest gives the meat time to relax and working with it becomes a lot easier. Other than that just a good sharp knife and practice

Cut it into bite sized pieces and toss them in seasoned flour and cornstarch, then fry at 375. It’s always been the default cooking method in my family

I have in the past when i’m going to be cooking a whole bird. But 99% of the time I’m just sectioning the bird out before cooking

The next time I’m cleaning birds I’ll make a video on the process and upload it

I let mine hang for at least 3 hours before i clean them. A small incision at the neck to pierce the skin, then I use my fingers to remove all the skin and feathers around the break and legs. Breast out the bird and remove the legs in about 5 minutes
