Great pattern,,,Thank you for sharing!

Nice job on the holster.....small footprint. And yes, the baby DR is a heavy pistol! Meant DE not DR!

Thank you all for the replies! Always good to hear different views. Don

Thanks for the comment on the stitching. Looking at it closer......it is kinda busy! Appreciate that!

You can get Barg or Master contact cement from the suppliers that support this site. Tandy also carries it.

This is the first time I've ever posted photo's on any forum......but I'm pretty happy with this holster. A friend of mine asked me to make it for him. Him being a southpaw like myself, I extended the reinforcement up to cover the safety on the firearm. I've found that carrying a 1911 cocked and lock on the left side, it has happened that I've bumped the safety and disengaged it......not good. So, I decided to cover it. Anyway, the holster is saddle tan, sealed with satin sheen and finished with Aussie leather conditioner. I line the sweat guard on my holsters with a layer of leather because I don't like the look of the flesh side exposed to view. Just me! I use a Cobra class 4 from Steve at Leather Machine Co......what a good guy and awesome machine. The thread is bonded nylon in Brown. I added a little free style design on the reinforcement and sweat guard using a stitching groover. Thanks for looking and any comments good, bad or ugly are appreciated! :-)
