Don Hume breaks my heart…

[WAA]

I have a Don Hume that fits the Glock 17, 19, 26, 22, 23, 27, 31, 32, and 33. I’ve had it since 1995. It is outstanding, and I still use it today.

I figured my old friend Don would know how to make a revolver holster. Turns out Don ain’t in charge anymore.

The leather is shit. No other way to describe it. And the holster is constructed in a stupid way that squeezes the holster so hard you can’t draw.

I ordered it online, because I’m stupid and apparently never learn. It was back ordered, too. The picture on the website didn’t show the construction.

If any of you have a suggestion for GP100 3” leather, let me know.

Have you tried putting the gun into a large ziploc, then leave it in the holster for a day or two.
It should help stretch it out some.

WAA,

Did the paper work that came with the holster say: Made in china?

Yes. Left it in a freezer bag while on a weeklong business trip. It pops in and out fine until you tighten your gun belt.

I have holsters from Don Hume that work well but my last purchase was a Galco which has worked well.

Yeah I have two nice Galco’s for 4” barrels. I guess I could carry a 3” in it, but my ocd would bug me.

How do you handle your OCD when you carry a G26 in a holster that can carry a G17?

Or is it just open ended and the slide sticks through?

Not sure what you're asking.
Did you read post #6?

ZX,

My 'Emily Litella' response...never mind.

Yeah its open at the bottom, the longer slides and frame stick out.

Well as always ymmv. Hopefully you’ll be ok.

Got the cartridge belt. The quality of the leather is just ok, just barely ok. Maybe one notch above KMart toy gun belt.
It is stamped Miami Leather Co. Miami OK. Looks more like mass produced, south of the border, Midway house brand. Nope.
Don Hume, sad to see it go.

 

[WAA]

Well, shit. Too bad.
