Thank you for the compliments! I lined the holster so it was 2 layers of4-5 ounce. I did use stitch groover but for some of it I had to take the guide off. I didn't notice on that small strap that's the back side, front doesn't look so crooked lol. I sewed it on my Tippman boss. After handsewing a western style belt and holster for a couple hors a night for a week I decided I needed an upgrade! The customer was very excited and is using that .44 for deer hunting this year here in iowa.
