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.

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.

Michael, Thanks for the offer to put "strips of leather" over the two rivets, but I'll keep my beautiful GK1 holster as is 
.
I know I mentioned the rivets as a minor concern, but it's just not an issue that needs fixing for me. Plus, the pistol and holster fit so perfectly snug, I'm not sure they could easily move separate from each other.

Hello. Just wondering if your red dot is mounted to the dovetail rail or is it modified in some way?

Looks like his is mounted to the dove tail.
These photos are of mine, this was modified to hold a RMR plate for my red dot.
Mine works great but you need to be comfortable with drilling and tapping your new 1k gun. I couldn't be happier with the results though.
Either way a red dot with shake to wake is a brilliant optic for this platform.

For another option, this is what I used to mount my Red Dot on dovetail rail.
1. Mount red dot to this....
ohhunt Picatinny Red Dot Mount Plate Adapter are Applicable to Holosun 407K 507K and Crimson Trace red dot CTS-1550
2. Use this snap-in adapter to convert above plate to dovetail.
UTG .22/Airgun to Picatinny/Weaver Low Pro Snap-in Adaptor , Black
I'd still prefer the red dot farther back, but this solution works well too.

I'm not that skilled either
uLuck,God's hand and some loctite make up for my lack of skill,
I know someone on here is working on a RMR plate that doesn't require drilling and tapping through a 3D printed design. He was in the testing phase a week or so ago.
Hopefully they will chime in because its a great idea.
There's also a dovetail-picatinny rail adapter that rises and comes toward the rear of the gun if you want to mount it back farther.
If you can't find what im talking about dm me and when I get to my shop tue I'll send you a pic and name m

Using a Monstum mounting plate for Ruger 10-22 does not require any modifications. Simply remove rear sight screw and spring; use longer screw in the rear of the mount. Pull the shroud and remove the silver guide pin. Put a short screw in the front and check for proper depth. With the shroud held in place you can see how it seats. The space for the screw is "D" shaped and my require flattening to clear the block. Once your satisfied with the fit, epoxy the screw onto the mounting plate. Now it is a guide pin. If you need to flatten the pin , do it after the epoxy has cured as it makes it easier. Bill and Addi

Just PM Michael to discuss a holster. That's what I did.

However, you may not be able to PM a member until you've posted/replied to a certain number of threads... but not positive.
