Leather Holster modification

#1

Post by TLE2 »

I have Desantis Thumb Break Scabbard I bought for my 1911. I'd like to use it, but I don't ever use the thumb break.

Does anyone know a leather worker in Houston that could "chop off" the thumb break? :txflag:

Most any Shoe repair shop could do what you wanted.

You can chop it off yourself. Use an exact-o. Bevel the edge when your done, then burnish.

I agree with the 'do it yourself' above,

However, if you really want to get a 'pro' to do it, you might want to talk to Tucker Gunleather, they're in Houston.

I have a couple holsters I picked up cheap I want to have the same thing done too. I took one into a local saddle shop and the guy kept trying to talk me out of it by telling me that was what held the gun in. I got tired of listening to him and just left. I don't want to have to unsnap anything if I need the gun out.
