Nice. I have a rule, holsters must actually hold handguns, and handguns have to have a holster. Nothing irritates me more than nicely sculpted holsters with non-removable handguns or figures that come with a handgun and no holster. I like the gloved hands, you would want to wear gloves fighting in the jungle. I particularly like the photos with him holding the .45, resting the barrel in the left hand. It looks like he is explaining someone the error of their ways. "Look, Generalissimo, if you are not willing to allow us use of your airspace to fight Cobra...well, I have spent some time with the Tucarros, and you are aware of their blood debt practice?"

Thanks. Yeah. When I saw the TF Recondo and saw they were using the same holster, that just irritated me but reminded me of my Recondo so I went and modified it. In all honesty, the hands are too big to hold the .45, that's why it is practically resting in his hand for the photos.

Nice work! Non-functioning holsters only bother me when they go the uber-cheap route and have the holster and gun all painted the same color.
Meanwhile, I have also seen people use Mouse forearms as a replacement, and while it leaves him not only with long sleeves but two layers, which is admittedly silly for jungle wear, I replaced his awkward forearms with those of a Cobra Island Zap: |

Recondo with the Zap sleeves looks not bad, but it makes him look more like a Desert trooper in my eyes though, but it's not a bad look.

Yeah, that's a fair assessment, he definitely doesn't look much like a jungle dude, although Gnaw's hat helps:

Oh how I wish I had an extra Gnaw hat for a different custom. That honestly looks not bad what you did with Recondo.

It's one of those accessories that makes any kitbash better. Friggin' Cobra Commander would look cool wearing that hat.
