I think I like this one

Well I can't call this an original design and there are still things that I need to improve. I am not particularly crazy about the boning on this one and I need to figure out how to do something other than black. But all in all, I am pretty happy with this one. It is a hidden loop design made out of 7/8, molded by hand, Feibings USMC Black with Feibings leather sheen also brushed on. All stitched by hand. I really should have dyed this piece before assembly, as there was some spots that I couldn't get to afterward. As far as comfort, this is probably the best holster I have ever worn. I wore it around the house for a couple hours tonight and forgot that it was there. I don't know if the pics will show it very well, but I picked up a basketweave stamp at Tandy over the weekend so I did the reinforcing strap around the mouth. I think this holster would have looked cool two tone. I did some practicing with Feibings Mahogony stain because I was going to do the basketweave that color, but I couldn't get an even finish. So Black it is. Critique away fellas.

Nice work!

Also "nice work" interesting loop construction only thing I can see is the upper shield area could be a little wider and taller, unless it's just an optical illusion in the pic.

Nice job! Every holster you make is an improvement over the last one. BTW, a plain old q-tip goes a long way towards reaching those areas that seem impossible to get to.

Thanks guys. I don't care for the body sheild, as it looks kind of small. But it was bigger to start with and I trimmed it because it rub on my fat hand on the draw. Thanks for the tip Boomstick, Q-tip that is.
