Huben Huben GK1 Holsters

I just received my Huben Pistol GK1 holster from Michael (Legionair). He customized it for my red dot on dovetail rail, with belt loop. It has exceeded my expectations!! Beautiful and very minimalist. Mine weighs 7.34 oz. It's a perfect fit for the GK1. He really does good work!

The strap on the back has a 'snap button' for quick release with thumb. It works very well. But, it does take me two hands to snap it back together. I think with practice I'll be able to do it one-handed.

There is no snaps for belt loop, so a belt must be fed through it. I assume that this is common practice for pistols and much safer too.

Also, when you look at the pics, you will see that Michael has allowed room for red dot movement on the dovetail rail.

The only minor concern I have is that that when pistol is firmly in holster, the Huben brass colored air gauge is about 1/4" away from two small round metal pieces that attaches the strap to the leather (not sure what they're called). Michael has made sure they clear the air gauge and won't rub. But, I suppose, if we left pistol in holster and not snapped closed, the pistol could bounce up and down and potentially rub against that metal piece.

Here are some pics of Michael (Legionair) GK1 holster.

The GK1 and the S&W 500 have barrel lengths that are nearly identical. My intention is to go cross-country ski hunting, which requires me to use both hands on my ski poles. For this reason, I think I'll go with a chest holster similar to this one.

Thanks for the great review Bernie! I can understand the concern about the two rivets. The pistol should be secure enough in the holster to not bounce into the rivets. However, going forward I’ll offer to put a strip of leather over the two rivets. I’ll do this for your holster as well.
Got mine today Bernie and I love it, it's a great holster. Michael does damn good work.

Yes, Michael (Legionair) does excellent work on his holsters! Your's looks just like mine... lol.

I see you don't have a scope or red dot on it right now. What does the top of your holster look like? For me, Michael cut out an area over the dovetail for red dot.

Bernie his does not have the cut out and the strap is different. Other than that they are the same.
