I have a Bianchi standard military flap holster (M-12) that I use to carry my Glock G20SF for hiking. I recently acquired a G29SF to have a more compact and lighter package. I could carry it in the Bianchi holster except the weirdness in me objects to having extra holster below the gun, so I would like to have one of my Bianchi holsters modified to trim all that off for a more proper fit.
I took the holster to Tactical Tailor in Lakewood (WA) but the guy kinda hemmed and hawed about doing it. He mentioned something about the plastic rivet at the trigger guard area that he would have to remove and couldn’t replace. For a company that supposedly specializes in tactical tailoring and custom holsters, they didn’t seem to have any ideas. He was trying to steer me towards one of their off-the-shelf holsters for like the G17 which didn’t really fit (too tight) and still had extra holster below the gun. In the end it was a long drive for nothing.
The Bianchi attachment system lends itself to backpacking and hiking. There’s no possible way to thread the pack’s belt through a regular holster’s belt slots because the plastic buckle is WAY too big to fit. The Bianchi military holster allows you to attach it down over the belt.
Does anyone know where I could have a Bianchi holster so modified? I can’t imagine it would be much work for someone who knows what they’re doing.
EDIT to clarify: I want someone to disassemble the holster enough to trim about an inch or so off the bottom and then sew it back together.
