Semi Auto Western holster
« on: May 20, 2017, 03:44:44 AM »
I've seen examples in Packing Iron, and I know they are offered for 1911's

I have even made one of my own design for my 1911.

has anyone seen or made a western influence holster for a GLOCK ?

Sir! Plastic and leather don't mix. Why them glock guns ain't even got wood handles.

In theory, it would be almost the same as a 1911, and there are some real nice examples of western 1911 holsters. But as mentioned already, a Block is a fitting as John Wayne in a skirt.

It could be done easily, maybe just with the wet molding. I can't say it would look as good as the 1911, though. Probably a pancake would suit it better.

A "Western" holster for a Glock.  Really??  For a GLOCK??  NOT to be flip (ho ho) but no matter how much lipstick you put on a PIG, it's still just a PIG.  A PLASTIC pig.

They still make some fine 1911 pistols. They look so good in leather!

Major, if you want a nice western holster for your Glock, go for it and don't look back, don't look for approval. Just do it, and don't apologize. Be an outlaw and enjoy that infamy  ;D

I second that, no reason a Glock can't ride in a Western Holster​. Go for it.

Perhaps....Western influence would have been a better lead in.... ???

A nice leather holster may not lend the Glock any class but it certainly has that effect on the person wearing it. If you're gonna carry tupperware, might as well do it in style! I carry a polymer pistol every day.

The 2nd from the bottom pic, a floral 1911 holster. Wow! Like.

Who makes 'em and how much? Double mag pouch to match.

Could it be done with less rearward cant? I tend to prefer a straight up draw.
