Fixing Straps To Holsters

Recommended Posts

I am totally new to leather craft, but did take Taloring in school years ago. I also have worked with Stainless Steel in a custom fab shop and have a Mechanical Design back ground. I am not finding the basic part of the process in making a holster a problem, but I wonder if Stitching alone is good enough to attatch straps with line 24 snaps on a hoslter and expect it to last?

Also should I glue the front and back of the hoslter before stiching to add strength so it last longer?

P.S.

Here is a holster that has a stitched on strap with a line 24 snap. The snap will give up before the strap, or stitching does.
