Stunning is my first thought . . . beautiful is my second . . . I am also partial to the contrasting stitching . . . something I do as much as I can on the projects I do.

My only detrimental comment would be the suicide strap . . . a personal note is I hate em . . . do my best to talk the new owner into a thumb break 

But the strap does look good on it . . . 

And I really like the mottle on the holster body itself

May God bless,

Dwight

I did have one question though . . . where is the "shoulder" part of the holster that was in the title of the post??  :rolleyes2::wacko:

May God bless,

If I could figure out how to edit the shoulder out, I would! Ha! I’m not there yet on this online thing. The strap is where my bud wanted it, but should it need changing I’m prepared for that. Never know it was there. However, I respect your thoughts on that. And would be more than welcoming to advice on holster builds. Truth be known, I haven’t made but a few, and every time I’ve tried to get constructive criticism I’ve gotten holier than thou attitude. I really don’t know the ins and outs of holsters, but I’m not to proud to listen to those that do.

I think most of the folks here are more than willing to "help out" with a question . . . and I'm not really sure any that I run with have a "holier than thou" attitude . . . or if they do . . . I haven't yet found it.

But again . . . let us help you . . . holler when you have a question . . . we'll see what we can conjure up for you.

May God bless,

Dwight

I get it. I've built some strange stuff for folks. But, not my circus, not my monkees! You want the strap, cool. I used to hang out on South Padre when I was stationed in Beeville in the early 70's. 67 Chevy pickup with a parachute camper tent! Life was so much cheaper then. Beer too! Good to see you posting. It takes a bit to get used to the editing part, but your on your way.

Thanks guys, and I in no way was referring to any criticism given on this forum. Nothing but good advice here for sure. All aspects of the craft.
