I've been using JLS's method for pancakes for quite a while. Very good results for pistols. Thanks again JLS!
Nice work by the way! I lay all mine out around the tracing of the pistol, mark the stitch lines, add belt loops (don't forget finger clearance under the grip and mag release!), add swoops and curves, I like a tooled reinforcing piece on the front, die, glue, sew, edge, mold, edge some more, mold some more, then finish. I'm sure I forgot a step or three. Your first looks a lot better than my first!
