Great design, awesome execution, and I love the dragon skin concept.  All in all well done.

That is one of the coolest holsters I have ever seen. The green helps.

I am wondering.
With the fit so tight, does the front sight snag? When the pistol is removed?

Um,  what front sight? I'm not really a gun person,  but I don't think the flintlock has a front sight.

Thank you very much.  That means a lot.  This is the third holster I've made.  I spent a lot of time trying to work out the pattern to fit good, and not be sloppy with the large cut out for the lock.  It does drag a bit, but once you clear the wood, there's room for the sight.    Now - ramrod tip is flared so it'll cover a .58 caliber roundball.  That's a big flare. The ram rod catch almost every time, unless I pull it real slow and finagle it.

It absolutely has a front sight, and its a large sight.  You can see it in the main photos of the original post.

Well like I said I'm not really a gun person,  and maybe I'm just totally blind,  but I'm just not seeing it. All I see is a smooth barrel.  It's probably just my ignorance about the components of guns.

I had to go back and relooked at the photos.  The sight is brass, and it’s against a tan burlap background so it kinda just blends in to the background.
