Thanks for the feedback, hopefully stripping the finish and starting over will save this thing.

Finished this holster a few days ago, this thing was a comedy of errors that I thought I had finally put to rest, but no...this afternoon I noticed what I believe to be cracking in the finish that wasn't there when the first photo was taken the day after finishing the thing. Am I right about the finish, and if so how do you fix/prevent it in the future? The holster is 8/9 oz leather, the overlay is ostrich stamped pigskin bonded to 8/9 oz. The leather finish is an airbrushed two tone dye (Frieblings British tan and Dk Brown) and finished with 3 coats of airbrushed resoline. Any help is appreciated. Chris WIthout cracking... two days later...

Here was my solution for my LCP. I used belt clips from Tandy that I got on sale a few months back (like Item #1239-00, but in black), and the pattern and holster has cuts for a belt as well so I can wear it as an OWB should I desire. It was made with 8-9oz and hand stitched, I wet formed and boned it using the pistol, I just dried the gun off and all was well. I wear the clips over the pants and under the belt, if that makes sense. They are quite strong and I haven't had an issue with the holster pulling free when I've drawn the gun. Hope this helps, Chris
